A Wonderful Weekend

This weekend was definitely the best weekend so far since I've moved to Virginia. It felt--um--normal.

Yeah, normal.

On Friday, we went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant with a friend. On Saturday night, we went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant with friends. And today, we met up with an old friend for lunch. Normal for us is "social." Some people feel rejuvenated by a vacation or alone time. We're the kind of people who feel rejuvenated by people, parties, and getting out of the house!

And something really awesome happened this weekend. But I can't tell you yet, until it's official. :) . . . just know that it's awesome.

We went for a family walk on Saturday morning. It was perfect! The temperature was sixty, the Roanoke River was rushing by next to us, and every single wonderful person that we walked past commented on how cute our boys were. :) We stopped at one of the several parks along the Greenway and played.

I am happy/over the moon/elated to announce that my hubby has ONE WEEK of nights left! Woo hoo! We've made it! And you know what? It wasn't terrible. I've been so concerned about NOT turning into one of those complaining resident wives, and so far, I have succeeded, dammit! (I can toot my own horn, right?) Yeah, residency is going great! I am so proud of my husband, and HELLO, after four long years, he's finally making a pay check! Now that's worth celebrating! But, truly, after two months of nights, I am ready for him to walk in the door in the evenings--not be walking out of it!

I'm hoping this week doesn't drag. Both boys have come down with colds. Boo! I think the baby caught something from the nursery at the Athletic Club, and then he gave it to big brother. They're both in bed with medicine in their systems! But, seeing as the toddler sneezed IN MY FACE six times today, I'm thinking I'll be super duper lucky not to have the crud, too.

But, c'est la vie! I'm thanking God for a wonderful weekend full of friends, GREAT news, pizza and beer, ice cream, and beautiful weather!

And here's one pic to leave you smiling:

Go play! Have a fun week! :)
