"It's a Beautiful Day"

What a fabulous day. Started of with Zumba (which is the best work out I may have ever had...well, in my adult life). I freakin' love going to Zumba! Everytime I get out of that class I feel alive. It's wonderful. Our instructor did more Reggaetone than usual and I love love love that! To end class we did belly dancing and she called me out and made me wear a belly dancing skirt...boy was that fun lol. Zumba is a great outlet for me. It's a time when I can just dance and not worry about teaching or my technique and just let loose and have a good time. I need it.

After Zumba and Matt's work out we went grocery shopping and decided to grill out despite the crappy weather we are currently having. (seriously...it's summer. where is the sun?...just wondering.) Then..........we took Cogsworth out for a trip to a few pet stores for new toys and his first time to a dog park. There were no other dogs there today (which we were happy about because he is so young and has 2 sets of shots left to get) but boy did he love running free in the field! He is just a little ball of energy, he's hilarious. Cogsy discovered the joy of fetch this afternoon at home so we decided to purchase a chuck it to play with him at the park with only to find that even the smallest ball is still too big for him to grab lol...couple more weeks we're thinking. We put his leash on him for the first time (first time more than a couple minutes) and went on our first walk together as a little family. We loved every second of it. We've been talking about having a dog for months now for that exact purpose. To get us out of the house more and spend more time together doing simple things like just taking walks and exploring. It was great! I can't wait to go again...
