Date weekend recap

This weekend has been awesome!! I drove Sydney to Beaver Dam, where I met my parents. Then I headed to Louisville where I met Ryan. We hung out & lazied (Is that a word?) in the room before getting ready. I took a LONG hot shower that ended up setting off the smoke alarm in our room...oops. I said a prayer asking God to make it stop. The second I ended my prayer, it went of! How awesome is that?! I finished getting ready without incident, thank goodness. Here are a few pics of the Navy party. It was a ton of fun!! I won a $50 gift certificate to Victoria's Secret!! I never win anything!! I was stoked!
Today, I woke up, came home & cleaned a little, took a nap, & went shopping all before Ryan got home from the Reserves!! What you can do without a little one around! Once Ryan got home, we dressed up in our "date" clothes & headed to Fergie's (one of our favorite without the little one restaurants). We went from there to Barnes & Noble for a Starbucks fix. Yum! After that, we came home to veg on the couch.

Tomorrow morning I head back to Beaver Dam to pick up the kiddo. I'm looking forward to having her home, but have enjoyed my time with my hubby!!! I love days when it's just the two of us.

On the Mend

Sydney, Ryan, and I are all on the mend!!! Yay! I thought this day would never come! It feels like we have been sick forever. If it wasn't one thing, it was something else. Although we aren't 100%, I feel we have definitely made the turn. We are over the worst! Thank goodness.

We went out & about some this weekend. We (Sydney & I) have been in the house for too many days & needed some fresh air. So, Saturday we headed to Half Price Books to sell a few books. We hoped to get some good finds, but came up empty handed & not much cash for our sells. Oh well. You win some, you lose some. Next, we headed to the mall to find Ryan a new shirt & tie for our date this coming weekend. There we had success!!

I can't wait for this week to go by so we can have our date night!!! Saturday night we're going to Ryan's Navy Christmas Party!! We get to dress up & have an evening to ourselves. My wonderful dad (heehee...there ya go, Dad) and mom are keeping Sydney overnight. So we will have 24 hours just the 2 of us!!! Whoohoo! Although I HATE being in groups & around new people, I am looking forward to the evening because I get to spend it with my hubby...and he's going to be dressed up to boot! You just can't get any better than that!

Thanks to my wonderful dad (That's twice in one post!!) & mom for agreeing to keep Sydney. I know you all will have fun. I'll apologize in advance for the lack of sleep you'll be getting! :-/

Family time & date night

This weekend we are heading to Paducah. Many of you will say, "Surprise, surprise!" But to our defense, we haven't been in a few weeks. This weekend is extra special! We are getting a date night Saturday night. Whoohoo!! We haven't been out, just the two of us, in quite a while. So, I am looking forward to some special alone time with my hubby.

We were originally hoping to go to see Bill Envall (our all-time favorite comedian) in Metropolis that night, but the tickets were sold out before we could get them. :-( Oh well. Since my parents had already agreed to keep Sydney that night, we decided we would still go in & have a night to ourselves. Hopefully we'll laugh as much at the movie as we would have laughed with Bill.

So babe, I'm looking forward to this weekend & I'm looking forward to some time with you. LOVE YOU!!

Also this weekend, Ryan's aunt and uncle will be in. We're hoping to get to see them as well. I've been trying to think the last time we saw them. It might have been before we moved to TX!!! So, we look forward to introducing them to Sydney & getting some time with them.

Of course, we look forward to seeing everyone else. We are so lucky to be so close to family! See you all this weekend!!
