five on friday!

I'm linking up with Christina and gang for the famous "five on friday" series!

1. confession: when I really don't feel like going to the gym, I motivate myself by eating two oreos on my way to the gym. does this negate gym time? quite possibly. but, at least it makes me get up and go!

2. last night,  I found out that taylor was in fencing when he was little! I asked him to prove it--the next thing I know, he is standing on the bed having an imaginary fencing fight. I laid in bed for the next ten minutes laughing. you've gotta see this guy's fencing skills!

3. taylor's favorite past time is buying me little kid socks. I don't know why he finds so much enjoyment in the fact that my feet are so small. but I will admit that he nailed it when he bought these little animal socks. my feet are pretty happy.
 ^oh, and this sock set was complete with dogs, cats, bumblebees & mice.^

4. on wednesday night, at 10pm, taylor decided he wanted to go get a treat. there's something that always makes me giddy about late-night trips with this guy. 30 mins later, we were sitting on the ground in the living room, watching the office, while eating these babies:
^oh, don't you worry. those pieces were both mine. and i'm not even ashamed.^

5. taylor has had a few business trips up to st. george lately.  he's meeting a client up there tomorrow, and yesterday he surprised me by booking a hotel for tonight for the two of us! I love when I get to accompany this guy on his big-boy-work-trips! especially when it equals a weekend get-away! and weekend get-aways usually consist of some sort of movie marathon and me desperately trying to stay awake---and forcing myself to take at least three sips of one of these:
^I can't stomach more than three sips of that stuff--and really, three sips is all I need to suddenly be bouncing off of the walls.^

Super excited for this st. geeeezy get away!
HAPPY FRIDAY!

  10. There's so many things I love about this post. First, the oreos before the gym. I do the same thing minus the gym part. Haha. But seriously, I keep oreos in my house at all times. Second, love that Taylor demonstrated his fencing abilities. Third, LOVE the red wellies AND the socks. Fourth, the Office. I may have cried when I watched the series finale.
