Summer

Yippee! Summer has arrived for me, and I am so ready for it!
Thursday was my official first day of summer, and I spent it catching up on errands and rejuvenating myself.
Friday morning Brandon and I both had appointments at the dentist. Mine was for some fillings, and Brandon's was to have his wisdom teeth pulled. So while he was in having his teeth pulled, I was right next door having mine filled! Yuck! I spent the rest of Friday worrying about him, and waiting for my own mouth to stop feeling numb. That evening my girlfriend came down for a visit, and so we took Brandon out to dinner! Poor guy, we ate burgers while he sucked down a milkshake at BJ's pizza. Saturday morning Brandon was feeling pretty good so Kelly and I snuck out to the Saturday Market and the Farmer's Market. After we finally found a spot to park we had a nice quiet time wandering around and taking it all in. I took a few photos and then we were on our way to find lunch. I am really indecisive, and Kelly is way to sweet, so we ended up looking for 'just the right' place to eat, which eventually was at the Marche Provisions at the 5th Street Market. This is such a fun little mall area, and this bakery is relatively new, so I had not eaten there before. We grabbed sandwiches and ate out by the fountain in the sunshine.
We then headed to the Valley River Mall to pick out some chocolate from See's and then we headed home to check on Brandon. Kelly left soon after and Brandon and I finished out our day on the couch watching movies and just hanging out. We watched more movies this weekend than I have watched in a long time. I think we watched 5 or so?? Yikes!
Sunday was a day of resting, movies, and driving around neighborhoods looking for houses.
By the time Monday rolled around I was ready to get something accomplished! I woke up and went for a walk, cleaned parts of the house, scheduled appointments, sent emails, called about our anniversary weekend (it's coming up soon!) and ran errands. I also laid out int eh sun, read my book, and accomplished everything on my list for the day. It felt great. When Brandon got home we drove across to Springfield and picked up some 'new to us' patio furniture. Then we ran to the grocery store and then came home! What a day! =)
Today was a day of staying at home and resting again. I am working on refinishing our dining room table, so I was out in the garage off and on sanding and painting it a creamy white color. I think it is going to look great when it is done. I also vacuumed out my car, weeded part of the vegetable garden, vacuumed our house, baked chocolate chip cookies (some without the chips so Brandon can eat them!) and cooked dinner. I know this is sounding like a weird post, but I think it is more for me then anyone else. I need to know that I accomplished more than reading my book and taking a long nap and laying out in the sun.
