This has been a wonderful holiday weekend! Three days of time with Steve, time with family, and a bunch of cleaning! This may not be everyone's idea of a FUN weekend, but it was absolutely perfect in my book! It started off with me babysitting Blanton (Steve's cousin's baby) then Steve and I making our first dinner together in our new kitchen! We haven't been able to cook together in such a long time due to lack of space! It was WONDERFUL! We even made our version of the "Cookie Monster" (warm chocolate chip cookies and ice cream) for dessert! YUMMY We ended our Friday night relaxing on the couch watching a movie on TV. Saturday, Steve's brother and his family drove up from TN. The boys got to hang out and go to lunch and so did the girls! It was wonderful catching up! Sunday, Steve was in a cleaning mood. I think he is nesting a little too... So, we spent the entire day doing laundry, cleaning the unfinished part of the basement, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning our office... The cleaning fever NEVER hits Steve, so we decided to take full advantage of it while he was all excited about it! Again, I am so happy about this! There is just something so nice about having a really clean house! After our day of fun (and a quick nap for me) we headed over to Steve's parents house for a nice evening of good food and conversation. We got home around 10:00pm, just in time for Steve's new favorite TV show Breaking Bad to come on. Another perfect end to a perfect day!
Today, we actually got to sleep in until almost 9:00! It was awesome! We watched some TV (the today show), had breakfast, exercised (Steve did, not me...), and found out that we can get some money back on the washer and dryer we purchased a little over a month ago! So, it's 10:00am now and we have already saved about $100! What a great start to the day! The plan for the rest of the day includes, a lot of relaxing, going to Lowe's and getting some money back on the W&D, writing and hopefully finishing the thank you notes from last weekends baby shower, putting together baby Hudson's pack n' play and swing, fixing some things around the house, and finally watching the first three seasons of Breaking Bad (or at least a few episodes).
I absolutely love these long weekends! Steve is so much more relaxed and we get to spend a lot more time together! I am really trying to take it all in now because in about 46 days (or there about) it won't be just the two of us anymore! This thought can make me a little sad, but Steve is so good about reminding me that this is a GOOD change! There is plenty of love and time to go around! We are both getting really excited!
Happy Labor Day!
