Ben is like most men and they don't like to shop, they shop with a mission and get what they need and thats it, they are done. Friday, Ben actually "shopped", I teased him some about it and laughed. He wanted a new pair of shorts and some new comfy tennis shoes that he could wear out and not his boots all time, especially when its hot.
We started at Marshalls, I figured he would find what he needed and that would it. Nope, he didn't like anything they had. And the picture below of the shoes just wasn't going to happen hehehehee :)
We saw those and couldn't help but laugh and wonder if there is a big guy out there that is looking for shoes just like that lol! Size 21 anyone?
We went to the mall next, yep that meant we would have to walk around and search for what Ben wanted....Sears had the shorts he wanted and I saved him some money and he got them really cheap thanks to my Sears points account, whatever that is, had some points and used them and his shorts were only 10 bucks!!!
Rack of Room had nice comfy shoes, that he said has changed his whole life and he can now go out and about and do things. Well if thats all it took I would have bought him shoes :)
A friend and her family came over to my place and we headed to the pool. Her kids played in the pool while we adults played dominos or bones as she called it. I have never played dominos like they were meant to be played. My brother and I would just stand them up and then knock them down in a row or build with them.
I really had no idea what I was doing but I ended up shouting out "bones" and winning!
It was fun!
Ben and Dezi are good frineds. Dezi misses Ben being around her and her family all the time, but ever since she introduced us.....well what can I say we enjoy being together :) Dezi is happy for us but misses her friend.
I was super happy to have friends over at my little cozy place, hanging out! People at my place!!!!
After we left the pool and came back to my apartment, we took out left overs out of the fridge from Kyle's graduation party the weekend before and we all gathered around the table talking and eating. The kids ended up on the couch with a movie on and we all grabbed some extra chairs and sat outside on my little porch area talking and laughing.
It was a fun Friday night! Great way to end the week and start the weekend!
Well with Ben's new comfy shoes he was determined to find something to do! He wanted to go do things and not stop all day long! We ended up at the Blues & Brews! I had always wanted to go, I knew about it because living in the country club area when married to Micah, we talked about it casually but he was always working and we never went.
Ben was excited, he told me that he loves Blues music and said the event sounded fun and we should go. So we did!
It was so much fun! The day was perfect with some wind, which it bearable to sit outside in the sun all day long.
The music was so good, I couldn't help but move and dance in my seat.
We enjoyed a few beers, kettle corn and very expensive lunch but that was expected lol. I bought us souvenir shirts too.
The day was awesome!
We left around 7:00 p.m. and relaxed on the couch, cuddling watching Netflix. Tomorrow we were getting up early to drive to Springerville to meet my mom and Larry and Sara, to bring Sara Bear home! She spent the week in Texas.
Got her back!!!
I missed her!
We all had lunch together at Subway before parting ways and driving back to our homes/states lol.
I was truly blessed with a great weekend, very thankful for the chance to create moments to cherish.
