Weekend Warrior Wonders

Hi Everyone!!!!

We are happy it is finally the weekend! Drew is on his way to Ohio for the weekend to spend time with his best friends and celebrate their birthday. I am headed to the lake to try out windsurfing with a couple friends - hopefully I won't fall in the chilly water too many times :)

This weekend the weather is supposed to be nice so I am taking advantage of it as much as possible. I hope to be outside all day today and tomorrow! Tomorrow I am aiming for a long run or bike ride depending on my inspiration. We hope you get outside and do an activity or two you enjoy with friends and family. Maybe try something new like windsurfing or paddle boarding. Make it interesting!!!

If you go out and try something different take a picture of yourself trying it and send it to us.
As always here are the articles we have chosen for you to check out this week. We think you might find them interesting! Enjoy :)
