So, I had SO MUCH I wanted to share today ~ I am in a much better mood, although I did stand Shaun T. up this morning because my entire body ached, and I figured it was speaking to me.

I have workout gear packed for our weekend in the country, and I’m hoping to be motivated enough to take a little jog around the golf course near John’s parents. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Lots of fun stuff going on this weekend, and I’m excited to share it when I get back … until then, just know that I have made (for the third time!) Iowa Girl Eats‘s Black Bean, Quinoa & Citrus Salad (with Israeli couscous subbing for quinoa!) and I hope it’s as big a hit with John’s family as it was with mine!

Xoxo! Happy Independence Day!
