Wonderful Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend last weekend, and I'm just now getting around to posting about it. We sent the kids to Grandma & Grandpa's, and we went to a wedding in a city 6 hours away. The drive there was quiet and uneventful, serene almost. I passed the time using Mike's baby name app. on his iphone to search for names for M3. We got to the wedding on time, yay! Then checked into our motel. I love staying in motels, even if it was the tiniest room I've ever seen in my life with a really wonky and uncomfortable tub. I love it that someone else will make my bed and wash my towels and that we are definitely eating out. That's what I love about staying in motels.

After we checked in we went on a date! It was so great. We went to Earls and had appetizers. I had mentioned to Mike that I was listening to a Focus on the Family broadcast and the speaker said something about being able to tell which couples were married and which were dating in any given restaurant because the married couples don't talk to each other. So when we had our apps with no iphone apps included. He didn't look at his phone at all, and we talked! Not just me talking, but we talked to each other. Pretty cool hey!



We went to the wedding reception and had a great time there too. Mike even said that it was a really fun wedding, and that is something coming from a guy, I'd say. The decorations were really neat, the food was super good, and the people we were seated with were easy to talk to. We are so happy for the bride and groom, and it was a pleasure to be there to celebrate with them.

Sleeping in the next morning was a big treat. I was determined not to open my eyes until after 9am. That wasn't quite possible, but it was nice to close them again after 7am came and went.

We had lunch with an old friend and her main squeeze at a licensed, no minors allowed, before driving home. Sitting on the patio, soaking up the sun, eating good food and having uninterrupted conversation was simply the most!

The drive home was another chance to talk, and laugh and remember when. I didn't want the weekend to end, so even though it made for an extremely late night, I convinced Mike that we should see a movie in a theater when we got to our home city. We saw Iron Man 2.

The only thing that I wish we had done, that we didn't do, was get a picture of ourselves dressed like grown ups for the wedding.

Other than that, the weekend was wonderful. I don't know when we'll get a chance to do that again, so I had to document it here, so I could look back and then look forward to a time when we'll get to do things like this whenever we want.
