Ultimate Coffee Date - June 2017

I really missed catching up with all of you last month, and I just couldn't let two months go by without a coffee date!

It's getting HOT here in Vegas. I think our high today is 104 F. Yikes! So, I'm sipping on delicious Iced Protein Coffee.

If we were having coffee today... I'd share with you how I made this delicious drink. :)

1. Brew your favorite coffee.
2. While it's brewing, mix your favorite protein powder with 8 oz of almond milk. Add in 1/2 tsp cinnamon and a sprinkle or two of nutmeg.
3. Fill a cup with ice cubes.
4. Pour about 2 cups (12 oz) of coffee over the ice. Why do coffee makers make 6-oz cups?! When everyone knows a cup is 8 oz?! lol
5. Pour half (4 oz) of the protein almond milk over the coffee.
6. Add more ice, if desired.

If we were having coffee today... I'd tell you how excited I am for summer.

• My parents and older sister are coming for a visit in August to celebrate my 40th birthday. I'm definitely excited, though still a little in disbelief that I'll be 40 in a couple months! How did that even happen?!
• Birthday shenanigans will commence 30 days out with an exciting adventure with Jeff AND with the start of a 30-day fitness challenge. You'll definitely want to stay tuned for more info because it's going to be so. much. fun!
• Jeff planned a lot of fun things for us to do to celebrate my birthday when my family is in town. It's going to be a great time, and I can hardly wait! Be sure to follow me on Instagram or Twitter to follow along on all the shenanigans. :)
• But even before my birthday there's BlogFest in July. I'm so excited that I get to go and hope to learn lots of blogging tricks and fitness tips. I'm also excited because it's happening less than a mile from my apartment. Talk about convenient! I don't have to worry about parking or anything. It will be a sweaty good time. :)

I'd definitely ask you what you were most looking forward to this summer.

If we were having coffee today... I'd tell you how much I'm looking forward to saying good-bye to this apartment. Our lease isn't up until March (I think), so it won't happen for awhile. I'm a tiny bit sad to be moving away from the Strip, but definitely not enough to stay in this complex. We've been here since moving to Vegas in 2012, and it's beyond time to move on to a new area. We're not sure where we'll be moving yet. It's a little too early to actually start contacting leasing offices, but we're casually looking at different areas where we think we might like to move.

If we were having coffee today... I'd tell you how we are shifting to a much more minimalist living style, partially in preparation of our upcoming move. Not only are we focused on purging things we don't use, but we're shifting to floor-living. If you really want to know how tight your hip flexors are try primarily sitting cross-legged on the floor. Lol. It will definitely take a while for me to adjust, but there are a lot of health benefits and other benefits, too. I'll probably post more on floor-living in the future.

If we were having coffee today... I'd tell you that Jeff and I are driving up to Zion National Park on Monday to go hiking and to pick-up Katie after she and Kristy finish hiking the Grand Canyon R2R2R. I had entertained the thought of doing this hike with them so I'm excited to hear about how it went first-hand.

Well, time to refill my coffee (yes, it was SO good that I'm having a 2nd one.) and get some stuff ready for purging (i.e. a trip to GoodWill).

If we were having coffee today, what would you tell me? What are you most looking forward to this summer? How often do you sit on the floor?
