A Wonderful Weekend Indeed

dare i say that i actually feel rested after this weekend? it seems like i am in a weird dream, yet it is true my friends…i am like a new person.
friday night was perfect to cookout, and of course, i had just happened to pick up my favs for dinner during my weekly grocery store run…HOT DOGS! yall seriously-i have an addiction. as soon as it’s time to grill at our house, i always want a hot dog…random i know. the rest of the night was spent catching up on TV shows, me working on a little craft project, and doing my nightly “exercise routine” of walking around the house in the hopes to get little bit to fall asleep.
saturday we were up early to head back to lowe’s to stock up on flowers for the yard, ferns for the porch, and the rest of the necessities for jeff to finish his fire pit in the backyard. here is the {almost} finished product…we still need to get some adirondack chairs and then we’ll call this complete!

that afternoon, we got ready, loaded up the car, and headed to mimi and pappy’s house so we could have our first official date night. seeing the look on their faces as we pulled up, with cameras in tow nonetheless, was too cute for words. they were in absolute heaven! mom and dad have quite the little setup at their house so when caroline goes to visit everything she needs is there-her own pack n play, bouncy seat, clothes, toys, and anything you could possibly need. can you tell how much they love their grandbaby? 😉

once they kicked us out, we went to the movies to catch an afternoon matinee for the hunger games…i felt like we were the last people on the planet to see the movie, but it was worth the wait! for someone that read the book, i love how the storyline followed it almost verbatim. i’ve started catching fire and am hooked yet again, so i cannot wait for the next movie!

afterwards, we headed to dinner at one of our favorite little places, boxwood bistro. i indulged {and by that i mean totally ruined my caloric intake for the day} in a gin and tonic, shrimp and grits, and blueberry whiskey bread pudding…heaven on a plate i tell you! it was amazing to be out with my hubby, dressed up, and having adult conversations with just the two of us. although, truth be told, we did have our phones out comparing pictures of just how adorable our baby is and talking about just how much she is changing everyday.
and icing on the cake for a fabulous night? a 4-week old who slept for 6 hours straight… i was so impressed with caroline that i woke her up sunday morning with rounds and rounds of kisses to say thank you for a nice little night of interrupted sleep. now if we could only make that a frequent nightly ritual-haha.

sunday was spent being lazy, taking a walk around the neighborhood for some fresh air, and doing some shopping…it was a successful day, complete with purchasing 2 new bathing suits and a casual sundress!
cheers to the beginning of another week-lots going on!
