I’ve been having great weekends lately and forgetting about them too soon, so here is my documentation of this weekend.
on Friday after work we met with sherry for dinner to plan madi’s bridal shower. Panera was yummy and it was a pleasant time. then I stopped by the house to pick up my new desk chair, and I stayed a while to talk to madi + kenzie. then I headed to Publix and home, where I showered and shaved and used a hair mask and whitening strips and did all of the grooming things I love. I felt soooooo good. when hunter came home we watched parks and rec and fell asleep very late.
we slept in on Saturday, and when we finally awoke hunter went off to play pool and I crocheted a few squares. then we got ready to leave for L and headed out. the drive was long but good. we picked up Lucas and took him to this huge park nearby. hunter’s mom met us there. we tried to make it a fun day for Lucas. at the park we bought him a blue ring pop and a blue Powerade, and he barely drank the Powerade but carried it around the whole time. the park had this tiny train gallery attached to the welcome center that we checked out. we stopped at one of the playgrounds. then we walked and walked along these trails that led to an “aquarium” that turned out to be more of a nature center with one fish tank. it was hot but the park was really beautiful, and I accidentally deceived Lucas into looking for a gopher tortoise the whole time. then we walked back and got slushies, and Lucas played with some other kids at the park for a while. we dropped Lucas off back home and picked up wendy’s. then we headed to hunter’s cousin’s house to spend the night, where we watched more parks and rec.
on Sunday morning we really didn’t have anything to do, but we slept in and then headed to downtown L and walked around. we got coffee and lunch at this cafe then checked out a used bookstore which was nice. truthfully we were just trying to waste time, and it felt that way. when we got back to our car we just sat there and waited for it to be time to go to his grandparents’ house lol. we visited his grandparents in their new house and helped them load their truck. then we left to pick up Addison and Lucas for the family pizza night. the gathering was fun, we ate pizza and played games. around 7 we left to drop the kids back off and head home. Lucas made farting sounds the entire trek to their house. Hunter and my drive back to FM was long (lol), but I’m so happy to be back home now. it was a good weekend, and I hope Addison and Lucas enjoyed their time with us. it’s funny how loving someone sometimes means just showing up every now and then and spending a few hours together, doing literally anything. and these are the things that help shape eternity.
