The Little Things


 
Haaapppyyy Monday!

I trust that everyone had wonderful and exciting weekends. The weather was just wonderful around my neck of the woods, just incredibly windy. Nevertheless, I feel as if we didn’t get out as much as we should have since it was so warm.

Friday night, Charles and I watched White House Down, and man oh man, for a movie we didn’t think would be that good, we were seriously surprised. If you are looking for a funny movie to watch, I highly recommend that one. It had me laughing and interested the whole time, and usually about ¾ of the way through any movie, I become disinterested and start playing with my phone.  Not this time!

Saturday morning, the husband and I went to Hobby Lobby and the grocery store together. Can someone please fill me in on why exactly it is that whenever Charles goes to the store with me, it always costs me about twice as much as if I had gone to the store by myself? Even so, I still love when he goes with me. He gets to show me some items that he likes and wants me to purchase, and I love his company, even if he does still play on the carts, sneaks cookies in the basket, and opens the bag of chips before we pay for them.

After the store, we had a nice lunch at home and watched another movie before we both got ready for the evening. He went and washed/detailed my car for me {without me even asking…he’s a keeper, I’m telling you!} while I got ready for girls night. We had SUCH a blast. I kind of without a doubt need to have girls nights more often, it’s nice to stuff our face with chocolate, drink wine, and catch up!

Sunday was spent being lazy! We ended up taking the dogs on a 2 and a half hour walk around the park next to our house, and let me tell you, I was one sore lady this morning. We all ate lunch and took naps when we got back from the walk, it was exhausting. There was some good football on Sunday, so we all watched the games as well as the Kardashian’s marathon {yes, I like the Kardashian’s…everyone has a guilty pleasure}
Photo Recap!

Fondue, wine, and girls night! How can you beat that? The fondue maker is one of my all time favorite wedding presents...

Of course, you have to have chocolate fondue! I couldn't keep my hands out of it, dangerous with a bunch of women! We dipped in pound cake, apples, strawberries, bananas, and pretzels into the chocolate peanut butter fondue...amazing!

Charles prepared us a nice sushi lunch on Saturday. A man of many talents =)

LONG walk! Beautiful day for it, and we had a blast...although I am incredibly sore today!

Nap time :)

Since I have started my new schedule, I'm able to pack Charles a lunch every day again and add a cute love note! Good wife =)
 


Do you ever feel like your spouse is the version of yourself that you wish you could be? I feel this way all the time. He is me-only better! I literally find myself smiling because he has qualities that I wish I possessed. For example, I’m extremely shy in some situations, whereas my husband is extremely outgoing and can talk to anyone. People absolutely love to be around him because he can have a conversation with absolutely anyone about absolutely anything. He is such a delight!

We are very similar in our values, goals, dreams, wishes, and wants for life. Today {and every day} I’m extremely grateful for that. We have enough similarities and enough differences to keep things interesting but to keep us venturing down the same path without straying. It’s the little things.

“He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
