Word Happy

Hellooooo, lovies!! How is your week going so far? This week kind of feels like it is going by soooo sloooowlyyyy. BUT, it is Wednesday! Hip hip hooray! This weekend hubsy and I are going to Baltimore for a weekend full of BASEBALL. Yep, TWO games, two nights in a row. I'm getting myself prepared, haha. I love baseball, but that is a lot for a weekend. My husband lived in GA for a while growing up and his whole family LOVES the Braves. A lof of our friends from school and one of my brother-in-laws now live in Baltimore, and the Braves are playing them this weekend. So, we're making a whole weekend out of it full of friends, family and baseball. Should be fun! This weekend, I am making it a point to take pictures. I know, I have been lacking in providing something fun to actually see while looking at my posts. I think since I returned from Italy I have been a little worn out of the whole picture taking process. But, it's time to get back in the grind!

This past weekend was FULL of hard work planting new flowers, bushes and mulching every thing in our sight. Luckily, my neck was healed and ready for all the work! Thank you for your sweet comments below. My neck ordeal was such a crazy experience, but luckily it is ALL better. Sunday evening when we were getting ready for bed, I couldn't stop thinking about what a perfect day we had. Granted, in the midst of being in a permanent state of bending over while mulching, I probably thought more negative thoughts about the moment than positive, but in the end, it was so perfect. Sunday morning we woke up and headed off to church. Our new church starts at 9:30am - EARLY for a non-morning person like me. It's always so hard to get up, but always such a joy when I'm out the door and on the way and feeling refreshed and ready to go. At church we sat next to a young couple who had a two week old baby girl! I couldn't help myself from constantly looking over and just watching her. She was SO tiny and BEAUTIFUL! We introduced ourselves and it turned out it was their first Sunday at our church and they had just moved into the area only a few weeks ago. She moved when she was 38 weeks pregnant, yikes. My hubsy asked them if they were free for lunch and I for sure thought they would be too exhausted (sidenote, they also have a two year old who was upstairs in sunday school). They said they would love to go to lunch! We spent a good two hours at a local restaurant sitting outside on the patio, eating good food and getting to know one another. It was awesome! It felt so good to be able to welcome a new family into our church, especially considering that WE have been the new family that people have been welcoming. We are so excited to hang out with them again and continue to get to know them. After lunch, hubsy and I headed to Home Depot (for I think the third time) and we picked up some more flowers to finish our weekend project. We went home, changed, and got to work. Probably about four or five hours into our hard work, we overheard a neighbor of ours talking to his kids. Our neighbors who are two houses down have a pool and a huge fence surrounding their house. We can never actually SEE them, but we can hear them. The dad goes, "Hey kids, does anyone want a milkshake?" Simultaneously, both my husband and I looked up at each other and smiled. That was it. We decided that sounded SO good that we had to jump in the car and go get a milkshake, or ice cream, or SOMETHING equally refreshing and yummy. We piled in the car with mud streaks and all. We realized on the way there that it was already dinner time, so we first stopped at a burrito place and grabbed some food and drove to a near by lot and ate in the car. We watched the birds and had a good time chowing down. After that, we were off to get a milkshake for myself and a chocolate and peanut butter sundae for my hubsy, his favorite. It was heavenly. We went home, finished our yard work, rinsed off, hopped into bed, and read for a good hour before we decided it was time to turn off the lights. I felt like such a little domestic wifey going to sleep that night. A full day of church, good company, hard work, and a full belly. I loved it! What an awesome Sunday. Whew, I just realizd how much I typed just to tell you about our day! I'm a tad word happy. Oh! What a perfect segway....
