This I must say has been one of the best weeks I have had in a while. Marie and Brad have been such a blessing this week I can not describe. We had an afternoon date last Sunday that was filled with Fuddruckers, movie and a nap.
Don't laugh too hard but one of the best moments of this week was Wednesday. I more or less did a triathlon. Christy and I swam before work, ran at lunch and then I road my bike after work. We did just about every distance we will need to complete in May. Brad, bless his heart, took Marie with him to Hobbs to visit with some of his family. SO I got a night all to myself after a hard day of training. THAT WAS AWESOME!! I love my husband and child but man it's great to have one night to myself, even if it was a Wednesday.
Brad finally went and got himself a grill and we have cooked and relaxed in the backyard more than ever since we moved in to the new house. AND I must say he is a most excellent cook on the grill. We have already had steak and chicken, YUMMY! We have had a glass of wine or 2 after Marie goes to bed. And we aren't great wine drinkers. We actually get the cheapest wine (Arbor Mist...haha) but the best tasting to us.
We went to a birthday party for some of my highschool friends son, he turned one. It was a great party! Marie had fun messing with her new surroundings. I also got to chitchat with some old friends and Brad met some new friends. Thanks Luis, Alisha and Gavin!!
That night my mom kept Marie. SO Brad and I went on a date. This was 2 weekends in a row that we have gone out on a date. AND honestly I ask myself "Why the hell don't we do this more often?" Usually I make excuses about the house or I'm tired or whatever. I will stop doing that. Forgetting that the house needs to be cleaned or that the laundry needs to be done feels sooo good. We watched "Lincoln Lawyer." HOLY CRAP it was good. It's a great drama film with GREAT twists and turns. If you have seen it you will understand my next comment. As we were leaving I gave Brad a great big hug and told him I was lucky to have him as my husband. Brad is a great protector of me and Marie, if you didn't know that about him.
We went to church this morning to end the week just perfectly! Marie was a very good girl in church. We didn't have to leave the main room once. Usually we sit in the cry room or just stand in the back so she can exercise her little legs. Maybe the reason she was so good was because she slept the first 15 minutes...haha. She fell asleep on the way there and woke up about 15 minutes in to the service. After church we ate and then took Marie to a local park to get her nice and tired for a nap. That girl is like the energizer bunny. She can go and go and go as long as you will let her. I love that she loves the outdoors. I would stay in the house more if it wasn't for Marie. Thank goodness for her!! Everyone needs to feel that sunshine on their skin.
We went to the store this afternoon and I got some more Cadbury Eggs!! Thank goodness. I was starting to have withdrawal symptoms for real!! I enjoyed one while writing this.
And now instead of ironing my pants or sleeping I am writing this. I remember one of my friends on facebook posting a joke one time about how girls on facebook judge their other girl friends on facebook by either the number of "blessings" they talk about or how much they complain about their lives. I think about that as I write this blog today. I'm glad I get to post a blessing.
Easter is next weekend. I hope we get some good pictures of Marie and her new Easter basket.
I hope everyone has a great week!!
