Weekend Review

-
We are at home, and it's Sunday 10pm! Our weekend flew by, no really it did. Mark and I, due to wonderful friends and family, were able to have a whole day/night celebratating our 17 years together.

Our first stop after dropping off the girls was, Starbucks. We met the Wegley's, gave them Ethan, enjoyed a bunch of conversations about healthcare, Obama, Republican's, upcoming elections, and family. It doesn't matter what we talk about, as long as there is coffee in hand. Off we went to Kent Station for some one on one time. We talked, walked, shopped, and watched Super 8 on the big screen. Great movie, great times, and lucky shopping. We found two beautiful tables for our front room for a steal, at a thrift shop. In the evening, we enjoyed a catered dinner by Dining Delicacies. It was good, not great, but relaxing. Afterwards we jumped in the car, headed to Fred Meyer, and bought each other an anniversary gift, a coffee maker. Right now my sister is getting excited thinking we bought a Keurig, but we didn't. We bought a 29.99 Coffee Mate. We love our drip. Our coffee stays on all day, and that is probably why our Cuisinart Coffee Maker kicked the bucket last week. Today we slept in, drove around to pick up the kids, and enjoyed another Sunday with Jackie and Chris and the kids. Thanks to Jackie, I got to go shopping for three hours at IKEA. Love that store!!!! I have so many projects, and so little time. Wonderful weekend...and I still have three more days off! Yahoo.

We played Hanging with Friends during our romantic dinner. Hey, don't judge!

Can't I take the cart home?


Jumping before going to church...Mrs. Jackie made my shirt for me!


Seriously the kids spend most of the time on the trampoline


Camping in the garage!

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
