This last weekend Darren and I spent a night away, just the two of us.  It was much-needed and we’re thankful that his parents offered to watch Garrett.

It was fun to hear about Garrett’s week with them and it sounded like they all had a great time! It was an added bonus to spend that weekend with my husband.

The picture above would be lovely in any other season i’m sure but I wasn’t expecting a spectacular view.

We decided to eat at the hotel restaurant and each of us ordered a cheeseburger.  It was super fancy and way too big! I didn’t even know how to eat it and we were both too full to finish everything.

We also ate at their buffet for breakfast but I left my camera in the room. They gave us a table right next to the fireplace and the view was really nice actually.

I really enjoyed spending time with Darren alone. He is such a wonderful guy and the way he loves me is amazing.  He gives me space to sound ridiculous, extends more grace than anyone I know, and has patience that leaves me speechless. I’m so glad that it’s him who I spend each day with.

 

Well I am feeling refreshed as a mother and on this Monday Garrett is napping at 11am and after he wakes up we’re going to color, watch a few shows, and play with play dough!

It’s kind of a shock to my system but we’re easing back into our day-to-day normal. I’m also detoxing from a week of junk food, how come it is so easy to put weight on but losing it takes sooo much work? I don’t see that as very fair. : )

Until next time,
