Long post beware..paleo talk and fiesta talk!

I know I know! I haven't written in a long time on here. I kept getting out of my routine and forgetting. It's not like I have job here too so I don't know what that is about. I mean I run errands a lot, read, go to crossfit practically everyday. It's nice to have the hubby home early on most days.
  So what is new, well like I said don't have a job yet. Debating whether I should give up on a nursing job period while I am here. I just should work at the tanning place next to where I crossfit lol. I saw their sign they are hiring, but kind of hesitant about it. No reason in particular, but wondering where my temporary fit would be that I would somewhat enjoy getting some extra cash. Maybe I can waitress again! NOT! I did that all through my early 20s not again!
Cowboy at Fiesta
   Anyways, so this festival is called Fiesta has begun last week and lasts until the end of this weekend. I still don't understand the origin much, but it's very multicultural (very hispanic mostly) with food, music and carnivals. It just means traffic is insanely busier than it already is around here. I like it here, but boy is the traffic unpredictable. Do people work? How can there be so much traffic at 1pm in the afternoon.
  So last weekend, we didn't do much on Friday, but rather try this restaurant in the little historic town nearby because we wanted steak we thought it would be good. Turned out it was super expensive and Texas Roadhouse would of been better than their food. It was probably so darn expensive for their "view." Well, since I ate half my dinner and felt disgusted we decided to join some friends from Alex's training class for dinner (dessert for us) at the Lion and Rose, some British pub. We have been there before so it was pretty standard. I definitely should of not cheated with having creme bleu cheesecake :( I felt so sick that whole night. Sometimes it's just not worth having that cheat meal when you eat paleo.
  The next day was pretty fun. We just hung out in the morning and some errands. Later that evening we went to dinner and a show with another AF couple. We saw a symphony orchestra perform alongside mariachi and dancers. It was quite interesting and all the performers did great! They had some lungs some of those singers, especially this 11 year old boy who had us girls swooning over him. Ah man this dating years are going to be interesting! lol
   Sunday was pretty relaxed. We did make it out to brunch at this gluten free cafe we had found when first moved here and I was able to have a waffle which has been a very long time since I have had one! We also took our doggies on a walk at this giant park that has tons of open fields, dog park, soccer fields and trails.
     Paleo eating has been going for the most pretty well. We don't eat out all the time like before and make an effort to make all meals during the week and even weekends with occasionally outings to new restaurants once or 2x a week. We are also loving the crossfit gym we have joined and it feels like family instantly. Everyone is very welcoming and cheers everyone on as they finish. Makes it easier to get through these workouts.
   I don't know if I will post a blog everyday, but I will keep you all updated on my progress with crossfit and eating right. I do have my parents flying in Friday to visit, which is super exciting! I want to show them downtown and different places, so crossing my fingers the weather cooperates! Well, I better get going. Have a great day!!
