Seth got home Friday night around 6:30 and we ate some leftover chili and watched a movie. Is this what it's like to be a grown up? Leftovers and a movie and I'm completely happy?!
Saturday morning we slept in, if you can call it that when you are out of bed by 9:30. We had a guy come to look at our "pond" to give us a bid and tell us when he might be able to start working on it. Our "pond" doesn't really resemble a pond at this point in time...more a giant crater in the earth that was once a pond but has since silted in. Last summer Seth dug a hole through the dam so the water could drain and it could dry out. We had to do this so we can make the crater deeper and wider before it fills back up with water. Apparently the ground needs to dry out a lot more before they can bring the excavating equipment in and get to to work.
We spent the afternoon wandering around Home Depot. Seriously, we were probably there more than two hours looking at paint for the bedroom and master bath as well as tile for the master bath. The tile that is in there now is definitely not my favorite. It's little one inch tiles with dark grout that always creeps me out because I feel like it looks dirty even though I know it's not. I'm also hoping to get some new lights under the kitchen cabinets. I feel like my kitchen is so dark when I'm trying to cook and I hate not being able to see.
After we got home I decided to cook the Pot Roast I talked about a couple posts back. It actually turned out pretty good considering it was the first one I had ever made. Seth doesn't really like Pot Roast (crazy, I know!) but he said mine tasted pretty good. Apparently he still doesn't love it but I hope it has to do with the fact that he just isn't fond of the dish and not just my cooking:) I have been known to leave out ingredients and burn things frequently. I must say that I'm getting much better though!
Sunday we got up early and went to church. We sat with my grandparents just like I have for almost my whole life. My mom plays the piano and sits with the choir so I always get the special seat right next to my Grandma...25 years and I still think it's the best seat in Church! Once church was over we stopped at the gas station for our little ritual of donuts, Pepsi for me, Mt. Dew for Seth and a news paper so I can check out the ads and clip my coupons.
Once Seth's parents got out of Church (they go to a different Church) we went to their house to say hi and visit our nephew, Ryder. Seriously, he is the funniest cutest kid ever! He is 2 and LOVES his horses. He has all kinds, stuffed, plastic, the kind that are on a stick and a huge one that is about 3 times the size of him. Ryder also showed us how he rides Buddy, the real horse! He just sits on Buddy bareback and holds the reins as he rides Buddy in a circle around the pen. It is so cute to watch him and you can tell he loves it. I'm so mad at myself that I didn't have my camera with me to take a photo. Hopefully I will have it next time so I can post a photo.
When we left Seth's parents house we decided instead of cleaning the garage we should forget about the chores and just take a nap. We are pretty good nappers....I sleep on the couch and Seth get's his new recliner. Give us 5 minutes and a boring tv show and we are both out!
Seth woke up before me and I found him outside washing my car windows and putting new windshield wipers on my car. Isn't he sweet! We cooked some yummy cheeseburgers for dinner and relaxed some more before heading to bed.
Sad to wake up this morning and know when I got home from work, Seth would be on his way to work and it would be another countdown until we get to see each other again. Hopefully this won't last forever and until it ends I guess we will just take it one day at a time...
One of my favorite wedding photos! It shows how happy he makes me!
