Anniversary Weekend

On Friday afternoon, Bryan and I took off for Des Moines to celebrate our 7th anniversary.  We left our kiddo at Gramma and Pocka's house and away we went.  Bryan had a work thing, so I hung out at the hotel for the evening.  
Got myself some hotel food: personal pizza, chips and salsa, and a very large piece of blueberry lemon bar -$20.  Yeah.  But it was worth it.  Sorta.  Bryan took off about 20 til 7 and I hopped in the shower.  
I was wanting to take a long leisurely bath but we got the last room in the hotel which happened to be the handicap accessible room.  Still, very nice.  And a huge room! I'm pretty sure it was almost the size of our first apartment.  
So after my 40 minute, uninterrupted, quiet shower, I got out, put some pajama's on and crawled into our very comfy king size bed.  It. Was. Awesome.  And then I proceeded to watch whatever the heck I wanted on the tv for the next three hours.  And none of it included Yo Gabba Gabba or The Pink Panther.  
I fell asleep way before Bryan returned but I figured that would happen.  It was all good. 
On Saturday morning, we slept until 9.  NINE O'CLOCK!  AM!!   We casually got up to get breakfast, ate slowly, chatted and just enjoyed each other's company.  Then we proceeded to just hang out in the hotel room and watched TV until we had to check out at noon.  
Since Gramma and Pocka were wanting to watch A for the whole weekend, we took advantage and our time in DM.  Lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings, hung out at the mall (Bryan got to "shop" around at the Apple store), got some Cheesecake Factory cheesecake, then got caught by a lady selling flat irons.  
She had me sit down and proceeded to do my hair.  She was very nice but I kept waiting for her to only do half of my hair.  I figured she would offer to do the other half if I would buy a flat iron, but she finished it off (curling it with the flat iron to show its diversity) and it looked very nice.  She kept asking, "Do you like it or do you love it??" It's a professional flat iron by Herstyler so it's about $200 but it was on sale for $165 and today it was even more so for $139.  I still wasn't sold. She kept making me a deal and going lower and lower (can you say PRESSURE!), also throwing in a free conditioner.  She went down to $89 (pressurepressurepressurepressure) knowing that I was seriously a hard sale.  So, I got it, well Bryan did, for my birthday (I straightened it this morning and it looks phenomenal, just sayin').
Leaving the mall, we decided to head on home.  But it was such a nice, relaxing drive home.  Bryan and I got to talk the entire way without any interruptions.  And we had grown-up talk!!  It was awesome.  
When we got home we decided to watch a movie.  Not being able to decide between two we watched them both!  Because we could!!  
Awesome anniversary but I am glad to have A back at home.  I love that girl.  Thank you Gramma and Pocka!!

  1. Sounds like you did have quite an "awesome anniversary there". That "flat iron" was a good one too. I love how the lady kept going down in price. I am sure you will get your money's worth - of course I think you have beautiful hair, no matter how it looks - you always look good. I am sure too, after the weekend it was nice to be home with "A"... ":)
