girl weekend...

he left friday afternoon. from the moment he said goodbye 'til i set eyes on him yesterday, i missed him. oh i missed him!

{see the next post for his adventures}

i realize it was only two and a half days, but even that amount of time without even hearing his voice is long. i wouldn't say that i feel lonely when he's gone, because i know i'm not alone - it's just the thought that i'm missing out on whatever he's doing, those memories that he's making, the ones that i'm making, the ones i'd rather be sharing. the time apart truly makes me appreciate all that i have and all that he is. sadly, he is gone again for work and will not return until wednesday. {lots of appreciating to come!}

anyway...enough of the mushy, gushy, love stuff! here's what I did over the weekend:

on friday i had dinner with my parents, walked with mom and hung out at their place. went home to an attention deprived cat and slept pretty awesome! (some people don't sleep as well or as soundly when their spouse is not in the bed with them. not me! i love my man, but if i am totally honest, i sleep better alone. but i will trade really good sleep for sleeping next to him anyday!)

saturday was a full day. ladies breakfast, walk/jog for 3 miles, carwash and vacuum, much needed shower. laundry, shopping with nanny (yay for finding something surprisingly cute in a reasonable amount of time, i'll show it off later...), more laundry, dishes, dinner and off to pick up yvonne!



von and i headed down to the gateway to browse around. the weather was finally beautiful and we took full advantage! it was so much fun strolling from shop to shop, taking pictures and chatting.



thanks to a dear friend we were able to stay at the marriot in salt lake. it was a total surprise when we walked in and everything was so hip and modern. we checked out the place, took some fun pictures, tried the pool {too many kids, splashing and yelling to stay and enjoy it}, picked out our calorie friendly snacks for the night, painted our nails and watched some tv.




unfortunately the rain only stayed away for one day, so our plans for the zoo on sunday fell through. we ended up heading home, grabbing lunch and went home to welcome back our hubbys.



i am so thankful for my girl time {even if it means missing my man} and am even more grateful for the relationships the Lord has given me. love you friend. what fun we have together!
