Glorious Holiday Weekend

This past weekend was perfect.  Nothing could have made it better...except maybe remembering to use my camera.  Honestly, I don't remember a weekend this good in a while.  It may have just been the high of the extra sleep, minimal scheduling, and having my husband home, but I will take that any time it's offered.

Friday started with a 2 hour nap.  The dogs were cuddled up on the bed with us; I was wearing my favorite sweatpants.  I loved it.  Then we grocery shopped.  It's sooo much more fun when we get to do this together...enough so that we find it a fun way to spend a Friday night.  After some late night Taco Bell, we stayed up even later thanks to the nap.  It was great.

Saturday we got to sleep in a little.  After getting our morning tasks finished, we ended up back home cooking and watching football all afternoon.  Then, we had friends over for dinner to enjoy a spread of baby back ribs, baked beans, mac and cheese, croissants, waffle fries, and brownie sundaes.  We also got to hold our friends' brand new baby!  For just a week old, she was already providing some serious entertainment for us.  Also, we got the kitchen completely clean before bed...which we rarely do and always bothers me left undone.

Sunday morning, we woke up, looked at the clock, and we laughed.  We then fell back asleep for another hour thanks to the magnificent holiday known as "Fall Back" or "the End of Daylight Savings."  I know, you might think it's not that special.  Some may even find it annoying.  I've been counting down for quite some time, though.  We then still got up at a reasonable hour, and Devin brought me breakfast in bed.  It was cereal--but one of my very favorite, only for a splurge kinds.  After a leisurely morning and an afternoon at church, Devin made me breakfast for dinner, and we tried to watch Gnomeo and Juliet--until we just couldn't take it anymore.  Instead we watched some football highlights.  And we played with the dogs outside.  Then we got to bed at a reasonable time.

So, you may not have cared at all about the play by play of the weekend, but I loved it.  And I wanted to remember it.  And it was perfect.  I hope yours was equally as great!
