Long weekend happenings....

Hello, all!

This weekend has been really nice! Number One- it's a long weekend! Number two- I've gotten to spend a lot of time with my hubby this weekend which has been really nice!

Saturday night we went to the arcade. I haven't been to the arcade forever. It was seriously so much fun. Life gets so routine and busy so often that we forget to just kick off our shoes and act like kids. That is just what we did. Everyone else had left by 11:30 at the latest; but Craig and I stayed until 12:30 playing games and cashing in our tickets. Seriously a blast!

Sunday morning we went to our marriage group at church. We're reading The 5 Love Languages asa group and discussing the challenges that marriages face and doing different activities that require us to work together. We had a really good time hanging out with church family and doing the activity together. I think sometimes you think you're the only couple struggling with certain things, and then you find out that these are things that EVERYONE is going through. So it was nice!

I got a day pass for hubby to come to the gym with me last night. We never workout together because it schedules are so opposite, so it was fun to go together. It's not like we worked out together.... We still did our own thing; but it was nice knowing that he was there and I got to go spy on him looking all strong when I was done with my cardio. Hehe.

Then we rented a movie from Redbox to watch, which we never do. We rented Captain Philips. If you haven't seen it, let me just suggest that you go rent it now. Probably one of the better movies I've seen in awhile! Very intense and well-written. Scary that it's based on something that really happened. I can't even imagine going through something like that.

Today I FINALLY got to go out to this exercise equipment warehouse I've been trying to get to for months but never can because their hours are so not conducive for anyone with a normal M-F work schedule. I made out like a bandit. Got some battle ropes, a sandbag, and a wall ball all for under $150. And I had $80 in birthday money that I used, so my out of pocket was very minimal. I'm super excited about this equipment, not only for me, but for when I do my workouts with the group of girls I workout with. This equipment will make our workouts even better!

We also went to this hip new restaurant in South Tampa that I've been dying to try. Totally outside of our normal dining choices and really outside my hubby's comfort zone, but he's good to me and humors me when I want to try new stuff cuz he knows I like it. The food ended up being incredible and even he enjoyed himself. Definitely a spot I'll go to again!

I still have one more day off in this long weekend and really not a whole lot planned for tomorrow, which is nice. So I'll definitely hit the gym, since I didn't do that today; and then probably do a couple things with my hubby and take advantage of free meals around the area in observance of Veteran's Day.

I wish every weekend could be a long weekend!
