Weekend Wonderful

Glory, glory! My husband was off this weekend! This is such a novel thing sometimes that I really don't know what we are going to do or think once we have normalcy in our lives (which kinda starts next week, by the way!). Harris starts training for his new job next Tuesday (he has Sunday and Monday to transition out of being a nocturnal creature), and then, officially, he is a Monday through Friday working man on January 1st.

At any rate, this weekend he was off, and we had lots of fun things planned!

Friday evening, after I got done with work, we headed over to grab drinks and wings for dinner before heading to a Norfolk Admirals hockey game. Now, my hubby loves hockey (fact: he loves most sports), and I really do enjoy going to games, but, man oh man, that was the worst played hockey I have ever seen! We still had a lot of fun (and really enjoyed laughing at the commentary provided by the 20 year old frat boys behind us), but I swear those guys couldn't even manage to keep from falling on their bums the whole game! We ended up winning, but by pure luck and nothing else! Regardless, though, we had a lot of fun together, and that's what really matters, yes?

Saturday I got up and went grocery shopping and errand running, and then the two of us went for a quick bite to eat and then a matinee of Catching Fire. I told Harris that I somehow felt that it was wrong to eat before watching a Hunger Games movie, but such is life. I was really, really impressed with the second installment, and it followed the book so closely I was delighted. I literally (actually, David Rehg, actually) knew what people were going to say before they said it because they literally (again, wrong usage, I know) pulled lines straight from the book. Love! Side bar: David Rehg is one of my coworkers based in Atlanta. He was an English major in college and he is also busting my chops for my incorrect usage of the word literally. However, as I like to tell him, I use it for its dramatic effect. I don't really care if it's wrong!

Sunday it was absolutely freezing here! I know this because I checked my weather channel app, not because I went outside at all. I somehow managed to convince my amazingly sweet husband to venture outside with Lucy all day - that's a good man right there! Harris worked on his paper a good bit on Sunday, we napped, made pizza, watched football, and just tried to stay warm!

And today, happy, happy birthday to my sweet wonderful Daddy! I wish we were there to celebrate with you, but we love you so very much! I am such a lucky girl to have you as my Daddy!

Although it went by quickly, as they always do, I was much less despondent going into this week knowing how incredibly short it would be! Yay for holiday weeks!!!

Sunday Funday

Today is officially Harris' first day off from work in two weeks! Yay!!! We have big plans of either going to the downtown beerfest (depending on the weather), or taking in a double feature of The Great Gatsby and Star Trek: Into Darkness, followed by a dinner date, and then the series finale of The Office.

To be quite honest, I really could care less what we do, I am just super excited to finally get to spend some time with my husband! He has been working so very, very hard, and I am glad he gets to have the next few days off to recuperate and have a little fun. Unfortunately, I leave tomorrow for a week in Kansas City. But, I am sure he will still be able to find some things to entertain himself with. Besides, we have today to enjoy together, and, miraculously, Harris has Memorial Day Weekend off too!

If we make it to the movies, I will be sure to let you know what I think of them. I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday!

PS - Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary Erica & Michael! I cannot believe it has already been a year! Love you both!
