Traditions

This weekend seemed to last a really long time. Those don't come around too often so they! On Friday, John and I enjoyed his night off with a movie with his brother and his girlfriend. It was nice for us to get out of the house. We really enjoyed our time with them, and the movie was great. We saw Eagle Eye.
John returned to work on Saturday and I headed to mom's house early for a Christmas kick-off tradition. April, Mom, and I went to the Sampler. Every year we go and enjoy the whole day filled with browsing and Christmas shopping at many different vendor's booths. This year was really good; we got a ton of things! I got a Christmas apron that is absolutly adorable! It has jingle bells on the ties of it. I can't wait to wear it! Each year, the Sampler always puts us into the Christmas spirit and it really got us there this year! We had a wonderful day together just us girls, and Adam of course. Afterwards, we went to my parents house to eat dinner and visit with Bryce and Dad. It was a really good and very relaxing visit.
Today, I went to church all alone for the very first time. I will have to admit, it was really strange at first, but I got through it and really enjoyed worshiping our amazing Creator. It was also the first time I had eaten Sunday dinner alone since we've been married. I usually eat with John or go somewhere. Today, I had...raemon noodles. Yum. I really enjoyed having time for myself this afternoon. I got a lot accomplished on the house, well, now everything is clean which is how we like it. Just as I was finishing up on the cleaning dad called and asked if I wanted to join them for pizza. How could I pass up a yummy dinner, so I made my way there and we had a great time together.
This weekend was a really wonderful time with John and with family. I am really looking forward to this week. On Tuesday I do not have school or work and John is off as well. We are really looking forward to spending the day together. It's always difficult to make time in the hustle and bustle of the week.
