Nine years ago today, I married my best friend. It is weird to think it has been that long. We thought we would go out of town for the weekend, but because we are hosting my family's Easter Egg Hunt next weekend, we thought we would stay home and work in the yard. Doesn't everyone do yard work on their anniversary???It actually was a really enjoyable weekend. Friday we ended up at Sam's Club where they were doing Vita Mix demos. I have wanted one forever, but neither of us have wanted to drop $5oo bucks for a blender. I enjoyed watching the demo and drinking a yummy smoothie anyway. Mark browsed through the store and when he came back to the demo to get me, he told me to put a vita mix in the cart. "WHAT??? Are you serious", I asked him. "Yep, Happy Anniversary-Mother's Day-Christmas!" I was so excited!! Then we headed to our nephew, Jordan's (who is the same age as Alyssa) 6th birthday party. Its always fun hanging out with the Taylors.
Saturday we worked in the yard and picked up/delivered bountiful baskets. We got a call from Ryan and Britton's neighbor saying we could have her sis-inlaw's goat if we went and picked her up. Our goat, Ferb, needed a friend so it was perfect. After we got her home we got ready for a night out. Ryan and Britton offered to watch our kids and let them stay the night. It was so nice. We went to dinner and a movie, slept in, went to breakfast and then picked up the kids. We made it back home and the weather was so nice that we did more yard work while the kids played on the swing set and rode the four wheeler. We built this really neat log retaining wall out of recycled power poles. We aren't finished with it yet, but I can tell it is going to be awesome.
All throughout the weekend, Mark and I reminisced over how we've spent the last 10+ years. I love just hanging out with Mark and chatting. It was a great weekend. I am exhausted though, time to make a smoothie.
