I had the best day today! Anyone living here in West Michigan knows that today was a seriously shitty weather day! But, I didn't let it get me down. I had a GREAT day!
Scott let me sleep in. Sunday is my day to sleep in and my wonderful husband gets the kids their breakfast and when I start to stir, he pours me a cup of coffee and sits it on the coffee table by my recliner. Now that's love!
We always try to get out of the house on Sunday's because it's Scott's only day off work. I know, you'd think he would want to lay around and relax after working 11 to 12 hour days, but he likes to get out of the house.
Today, he decided that the kids were staying home and that we were going out.....just the two of us. Doesn't happen that often. I felt really bad about it at first because I don't really like to leave the kids home, they make me feel guilty. But none of them really cared. They were all busy doing their own thing when we left and we were gone for like....5 hours.
We went out for breakfast, and it was delicious. Then we went to Scott's friends house. Torrey and Cindy. We haven't seen thme in forever and they are he nicest couple you could meet. We really love seeing them and we just haven't been able to hang out lately. So, it was really nice to go to their house and spend some time with them.
Then, we were off to Costco. We wandered around and looked at patio furniture. We didn't find any furniture that we liked, but found an umbrella that we loved. It's a Market umbrella that you put in the center of a fancy outdoor table. So, we found the umbrella, but didn't like any of the furniture. We'll shop around. The house we're buying has a deck that runs the entire length of the back of the house and garage. There are french doors that go out from the living room and the master bedroom, so we'd like to have some nice furniture to enjoy the summer. I'm not spending $1000 for one of the two sets they have at Costco. That's a quarter of the price of the pole barn we want to put up in the spring. Not happening.
So, we wandered around and looked at the beds. They sell Serta mattresses and the prices are decent. The kids all need new beds so hopefully we can pull that together before we move. We looked at the prime ribs, Scott makes a delicious whole prime rib. We didn't buy one, but they looked really good. We sampled a few things...a great part about going to Costco on the weekend! Basically bummed around. I did buy some toilet paper, lol!
We popped into Walmart for a couple of things and then to D & W. It reminds us of the grocery store in Missoula that's next to the hotel we always stay at. Scott kept saying, I wish we were in Montana. Well, they are probably having better weather than we are. Hmmm.....
We checked out, I bought an iced tea from the Starbucks and we were on our merry way home. Did I mention that it was a friggin downpour when we were going in and out of the stores? We had the craziest weather in Michigan today. Rain, rain mixed with a little snow, big wet sloppy snow, then sleet. All in a couple hours. Oh, and thunder and lightning. I have to say, it was NOT a good hair day. I was having so much fun hanging out with Scott that I didn't even care.
When we got home Scott made BLT's for dinner, and when I was cleaning up the kitchen, Jason came home. He was so busy with school and work this week that I didn't talk to him much. It makes a mom so happy when her kids come home for a visit. Well, unless you're my parents.....then you're mildly annoyed. But that's a whole other post slash therapy session.
Anyhow, I was happy he came home for a couple hours. He ate some food, shopped in our cupboards (we just grocery shopped yesterday so he hit gold), drank some juice and left some homework for me to help him with. Don't worry, it's only research for a paper he's writting. We hung out and talked about him wanting to buy a new car. Then, he was on his way back to school. Made me so happy to see him, he doesn't even realize how much it means to me when he comes home. Makes a mom happy!
So that was my happy day. I got to spend time with all my kids and had a really nice time out and about with Scott. We have our 10 year wedding anniversary coming up on April 18th and I love that after 10 years of marriage, we still like spending time together. We cherish it. Doesn't happen alot, we usually have kids with us on our Sunday's out, but we try to go out alone at least once a month. Even if it's just grocery shopping, it's still great to just spend time together.
With all that said, I hope you had a great day too! Until next time.....
