My Weekends & More

Last weekend: 

Friday night the girls and I went out to dinner and had sushi at Karma, then we went to the movies.  

Saturday night:  Sara and I went to the Rodeo.  She met up with her friends and I met us with a few of mine.

We all enjoyed the rodeo so much!  Its something I will do again next year!

This Friday night:

Didn't really do anything at all!

Saturday morning:

I had the great pleasure of having a baby photo shoot!  A precious 2 week old little baby boy.  I've never taken pictures a baby for someone before.  But I was asked so I did a quick crash course of tips and things on Pinterest and then I felt ready to do the task!  

It was so much fun taking pictures of this little guy.

The remaining of the day I didn't do much but focus on relaxing.  I know "focus" who has to focus on relaxing....well I guess better said is that I told myself that it was alright to just sit still and not do much, take a nap, read the book I'm reading, watch Netflix etc.

I saw Karlee off in the morning to head out to Lake Powell with her boyfriend's family.  She will be gone until the 6th.  Sara has been enjoying staying at Marlee's house the last couple of days.  Kyle was at work all day.

When Kyle got home he was starving!  So it was just him and I so we went out to eat at Oreganos.  I was very sneaking but I was able to get two pictures of him without him knowing. (but he told me later that he knew I did hehehe)

He and I sometimes struggle for conversation but eventually we talked.  We talked some about school, football, his hurt ankle and a few random things.  It was really nice to talk.  I enjoyed our time together.  After we ate we went to Walmart together for a few things.

Today: Sunday 

Woke up startled as Kyle ran down the stairs saying "mom, mom its 7:00, I'm late for work!"  I'm not sure what happened to our alarms but they didn't go off and he threw on his cloths, grabbed a Gatorade and out he ran slamming the door behind him.  I texted him mid-morning and told him that I hoped his morning was going better and that I loved him.  He later texted and asked me if I'd bring him lunch....I had a feeling.  So I did, I took him Subway.

Today I ran errands and picked up Sara from one friends house to take her home for a little while and then to another friends house.  In between running around, I did my laundry and put it all away.

There were times in silence that I'd drift to the thoughts of having someone in my life to share with but in those moments I'd tell myself "its alright", "just enjoy being", etc....

As I've said before the weekends seem to be a challenge with so much time on my hands with the kids doing their thing.  I don't need to depend on others to make me happy, I have the Lord and I'm alright.  I need to continue stepping out and doing things on my own.  I just couldn't bring myself to go to the Art in the Park or go to the Taco Truck Event either.  There is a ton of things going on this weekend, since the 4th of July is Tuesday.  

I got my camera out the other night and played with different settings and things.  I really enjoyed doing that.  I feel a photo journal coming on......

Anyways I better start wrapping up the night and getting ready for tomorrow being Monday, a new work week with a little trip to El Paso later in the week to look forward too!
