Happy Monday!

I had a very marvelous weekend in Portland Oregon for Fitbloggin!
First off, in case you don’t know what Fitbloggin is. It’s a blogging conference for anyone who blogs about fitness, wellness, good food, and a healthy lifestyle.
I was chose this one for a few reasons. One, I wanted to get some help with blogging related topics like media kits, pitches, writing, etc. Two, it was fitness driven. Three, it was in Portland which was somewhat close and I was able to go with the lovely ladies from Fit Approach.

Jamie, Alyse and I left super early Thursday morning to make the 10 hour drive to Portland.

The road trip went by really fast and we actually had a pretty fun time chatting and enjoying the scenery.
Rather than me going through a play by play of the entire trip, I’m going to share a few marvelous things from the weekend 
First was Portland. I had never visited before and while I didn’t get the chance to really explore the city as much as I would have liked, it was a pretty awesome place.
Our hotel room at The Nines, just a few of the TONS of food trucks (seriously a full block of them!), night view of the city, sunset view from the rooftop bar.
Second, my roomies,

I LOVED getting to room with these beautiful, fun ladies. We had a blast and I hope to attend the conference they’ll be putting on next year!
Third, the fitness,
Yoga, boot camp, crossfit, and jump sport
Over the two days they offered boot camp, yoga, zumba, cardio dance, crossfit and a jump sport trampoline class. I didn’t get the chance to do them all but the ones I did were super fun!
Next, was all the food and drink,
I enjoyed some yummy eats and drinks for sure! I wish I would have been able to get out a little more and eat through the town of Portland. We went out to dinner a few nights and the two restaurants we ate at were amazing!
Lastly one of the most marvelous things about the trip was getting to meet so many amazing bloggers and friends.
SPA Sistas!
The beautiful and equally sweet Gina from Fitnessista. Love her and she is actually who inspired me to begin blogging so it was so fun to get to meet her
Kat from Sneakers and Fingerpaints. Loved this girl!
Tenley Molzahn and I
This girl was SUPER SWEET and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to not only meet her but hear her speak about her journey with a gluten-free lifestyle and tips for gluten-free snacking. She writes a gluten-free blog called Sweet and Free and I highly recommend checking it out!
Bobby from Nhershoes, is adorable and so sweet!
So many more amazing bloggers that I met but I was so busy chatting and enjoying our time that I didn’t snap as many photos as I should have 
Lesson learned!
As much fun as it was, it was even more marvelous to come home to my boys and an amazing surprise from my hubby.
We celebrated our 5 year anniversary while I was away. I know, wife of the year right!?! He encouraged me to go and we will be sneaking away for a weekend to celebrate soon! Anyway, I left a little surprise gift for him (a new golf bag and swing analyzer) and he surprised me with this beautiful band to go with my wedding ring set. I was very surprised! It has to be sized so I’ll post a pic of the set once it actually fits on my finger
Now it’s time to get this Monday started! Lots of grocery shopping to do today. Part of the perks of being gone for 4 days!
Don’t forget to check out the Marvelous giveaway I’ve got going on until Thursday for a workout tank!
Hope you all had a marvelous weekend!
