Getting Through

Yesterday was a rough day for me. I don't know what happened, but it was a really hard day. I am so thankful for the man that God has put in my life. Through it all he was supportive, loving, and understanding. He even came and picked me up last night to go to his house so I didn't have to be alone. He is incredibly selfless and really goes out of his way to make me happy. I am feeling better today and hope that continues. No matter what I know that God is good and this too, shall pass.

Weekend Remix

Wow, what a great weekend! We did a lot and changed our plans and it was a lot of fun. Here's the recap:

Thursday night we went to a "Taco Bake" over at a friend's house and was able to have dinner there and be around some great people and eat a fantastic dish called Taco Bake. Seriously, if you haven't tried it...do it now!

Friday we had the whole day together.

1.  We had an appointment with my boss' office in the morning and I didn't have to go in early that day!
2. Afterwards we went to the mall for lunch and to return a couple of things. While we were there we saw one of Phil's friends and were able to catch-up with him while he was on his lunch break.
3. We picked up the kids from school.
4. Then we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with a great couple and their two adorable boys! We followed dinner with games at their house and had so.much.fun.

Saturday we were supposed to go to D.C. and just spend the day together, but we decided to do an impromptu trip to Virginia to visit my friend, Boo. On the way we stopped at the Outlets and got my birthday present!!!

Today we went to chuch this morning, picked up Subway for lunch on our way back, stopped at Wal-mart to look at a couple of things and finally made it back home. I still have to run to the store tonight to look at curtains and pick Phil up a deodorant since he lost his on the trip...lol.

Overall, we had a great weekend and the weather made it even nicer...sunny and not too cold!

Sensational Saturday!

I must admit that today was such a great day! Phil and I took the two youngest kids I watch to a pancake breakfast to support the church's youth group and afterwards we took them to Toys R Us and let them each pick out a little toy. It was great to be able to spend some time with them and not be in "nanny mode."

We followed that by going to the mall where we hung out and shopped for a couple of hours. Since the mall in town is small and doesn't have any good stores, I love it when we venture the 40 (or so) minutes to the bigger mall with all of the great stores. I may or may not have been a little discouraged by not finding anything that currently fits me well and I may or may not have splurged at Victoria's Secret. I also found that if the clothes would fit I would totally shop at J. Crew. It reminds me a lot of American Eagle, but for adults. This just might have to be one of my new goals.

After the mall we headed on over for an early dinner date at The Melting Pot. If you have not been there, seriously go...like now. It is a little expensive, but the four course fondue meal is fantastic. Our two favorites were the cheese and chocolate.

We finished the evening by having a family game night that his parents hosted. It was great to see his aunts, uncles, and one cousin for a few hours of playing games and just spending time together. I love his mom's side of the family and really look forward to seeing them every chance we get.

Tomorrow will probably be more of a relaxing day seeing as we've been so busy today, but it was great to have a whole day with him and know that we still have tomorrow together before the work week starts up again.

More Snow!

This weekend we got a lot of snow. In fact, there was 22" outside the house where we were at. Schools have been closed for yesterday, today, and tomorrow and now we are expecting anywhere between 10-20" more today starting in the early afternoon. I'm pretty sure there will be no school at all this week and there's even more hope for no work days for me or my honey.

Luckily Phil was off yesterday seeing as the roads in DC are not passable, but I still had to work. Today, we are both off and trying to get to Ikea! We've been trying to go there for a while, but every time we have been snowed out and stuck in the house. I really want to find some cute curtains for my bedroom and maybe some other things while we're there because Ikea is awesome!
