First Saturday Off

This Saturday was Stephen's first day off with his new job! We are both still in shock that he will be home every other Saturday.

We had such a busy week so Friday night Stephen picked up BBQ on his way home and we ate it and watched Love and Other Drugs. I went to sleep afterwards and Stephen stayed up to watch Faster.

We had to get up early Saturday morning. A guy was coming to fix a stratch on the crib and Stephen took my car to the Ford store to get the oil changed and the brake light fixed. I then ran a few errands and we met at Chili's for lunch. As we were leaving, a family of 4 was walking in and I told Stephen that before I would see families on a Saturday and be so sad, but now I'm not because he will be with us every other Saturday. It just makes me so happy!!

We headed home and I took a 4 hour nap!! I couldn't believe I slept that long, but we had a really busy week and I guess my body needed it! Stephen played XBOX and went to Best Buy. Then we got ready and went and met Aaron, Russell, Heather, Brian, Ali, David, Clarrisa, Justin, Jason and Giovanna for bowling! It was lots of fun! We stayed out so late though and didn't get home until 1am. I am glad I had that long nap, because I was exhauasted!!

We both slept in Sunday and it was wonderful! We got up and went and had lunch and drove over to Steve and Nancy's to get the parking pass for the rodeo this week. We headed home and drove around our neighborhood for a little. It was such a gorgeous day, neither of us wanted to go home. It was so beautiful outside and as we drove around the neighborhood I just kept thinking about taking a walk with the baby on pretty days, going to the park, bike rides, and picnics. I can't wait for all of that, but I have to remind myself to enjoy this time right now. It's never going to be just the two of us again- well for at least 20 or so years!! I can't wait for everything that is in store for us, but I am really enjoying this time right now, just the two of us!!

We came home and relaxed and had a low key Sunday evening. It was such a great weekend! I am looking forward to many more!!
