Over the Weekend

Labor day weekend was one for the books, the books of laziness and relaxation. It was the best.

Weekends of nothing are almost always preferred around here.

Those three photos pretty much sum it up. The biggest thing missing would be Tennis.

If I wasn’t in bed snuggling Alf and watching Netflix, I was on the couch watching tennis with Mike.

Okayyyy, I’ve been a little deceiving. We actually did leave the house a few times. We had dinner with our dear friends on Saturday (and football!!), we had some other dear friends stay with us on Sunday evening, and on Monday we had dinner at our house with Mike’s family and the new baby. He’s already changed so much! I can’t handle it.

I also made a special trip out to Goddard to visit my Grandma with my family. She has the most inviting front porch. To the right there are two swings that we used to swing on with our cousins, we’d usually swing way too high. So many good memories at this home.

And that was it! I made it a point to put technology away this last week – which is why I’ve been a little MIA. I’ve been trying to reset. It has been very refreshing getting back into a rhythm.

As I type this it is storming at our house. Cooler temps came through last night and I have an apple spice wax melt going. FALL is HERE!

Happy Day!

Over the Weekend

Aug 17, 2015 /

We had a very uneventful weekend and I am so thankful for that. Our summer was everything but uneventful so laziness is completely welcome in this home at the moment.

I woke up sick on Thursday morning which forced me to stay in bed all day Friday and most of the day Saturday. Summer colds aren’t fun but I did enjoy the forced rest and the surprise “feel better” flowers from the mister.

I dragged myself out of bed on Friday night to eat pizza and play pitch with some of our friends at church. We started meeting with them a year or so ago and they taught us how to play pitch and we’ve been meeting every since. It’s always boys vs. girls and we always laugh a lot.

Sunday morning was my first Sunday back at church in what felt like ages. I went with comfy casual clothes since I still wasn’t feeling 100%. The only reason I’m sharing this is because Alf completely photobombed my pic that I meant to send to my sister. He kills me. Also, the shirt I’m wearing is wonderful. Super comfy, long, and affordable!

On Sunday evening we said goodbye to our summer roommate. Mike’s little brother moved in with us in May and he headed back to school yesterday. He took over our basement and it worked out great because we hardly ever use that space. I attempted to put our guest room back together after he left and decided to move our workout stuff in there. I think I’ll like working out in a room where I can close the door. Maybe that will motivate me to start working out again after our many weeks away.

And that was our very uneventful weekend! Today was another day off for me and I have been soaking it up. Our house is getting some TLC and I think I’m actually going to cook tonight? I wonder if I’ll remember how…

Happy Day!
