Asian Style Chicken Lettuce Wraps

So tomorrow is the day. We set forth on our journey to go camp for 4 days. Its going to be so much flipping fun. 10 hour car ride with my love in his man van. When I first started dating Scott he had a Nissan X-Terra, then he traded it in on this van. It's a 16 passenger Chevy Express. White. It cracks me up. But in reality its super convenient for things like camping and hauling stuff. He made a nice bed in the back and took the seats out so when we camp we have 6 inches of foam pad to sleep on. Lets just say, its really practical for activities. Who cares that he drives a creepy candy van?! Ha.

So today I slept in on accident. Don't judge me. I got caught though. Pretty funny. Scott came home at like 9am to grab eggs. I was still in bed! I'm going to blame it on the Kava. I haven't slept good lately AT ALL. I wake up every morning around 3:30am. Isn't there something superstitious about that? I thought there was. But anyways, Scott suggested I hit up the Kava before bed. So I did. I took an extra 30 drops hoping it would just knock me out. It didn't affect me like I wanted it to. I still laid there for ever till I drifted off.

Yesterday I stopped by the drop the girls off and watched everyone for a bit. They did 7x 1 min amrap of ground to overhead with a 1 minute rest in between. Looked so fun. I miss lifting weights. SOOOOO BAD! You just feel like a badass, ya know? I know you know what I am talking about. You just get some sort of empowerment feeling and its awesome. I was watching Javonna the whole time and helping her count her reps. She has great form! Love that gal. She's the sweetest.

So Monday I took the chitlens down to the Applegate Fish Hatchery Park. I had never been there before. There was no one there and it was gorgeous! I took some photos of them swimming and what not. They are so cute!

I started the food prep last night. I made a huge batch of pulled pork with homemade BBQ sauce. Fresh salsa with garden tomatoes and peppers, and this morning I made donuts. I need to run to the store for more eggs and a few other things then more food prep here I come!

We ate these lettuce wraps with the cauliflower fried "rice" that I have previously posted. I thought it was amazing!!
