This weekend, it was everything I needed right before my three final exams.
Friday night I went to my little sister's field trip to George Washington Carver National Monument, where she talked me into allowing her to stay the night. She stays with us at least four or five times a month and the poor thing missed Husband (they're extremely close).
After dinner with a friend, Husband and little sister ate dinner together while I stayed up all night studying for finals. I love how close they are because she and I are furthest apart and yet the closest. I practically raised her until I married and now she spends so much of her time with us!
Husband and Sister planned a bedroom attack so I would wake up early and make them a delicious breakfast. I love getting up and making every meal throughout our days, it's so much healthier and I always feel like a good wife. My sister really appreciates this because, being the youngest and the last at home, she doesn't get real home-cooked meals often.
After our breakfast we did some workouts, relaxed, got ready for the day and then lunch time meant a picnic at the park, playing on the slide and feeding the geese. It was windy but so beautiful.
Every time I see pictures like these, I can feel a lump in my throat, one for cries of happiness. How did I get so blessed to have a man like this one, so close to her. It's precious and I know that one day he will make an incredible father.
For Mother's Day we visited all the beautiful mothers in our lives and spent the whole entire day with family, which isn't always relaxing but worth it in the end, always. This is my mother. She had me at seventeen and had gone through so much, I'm still not sure how she is raising/has raised four girls. She is so strong, so brave. She and I have had our share of hard times and I'm so happy to say we're in such a good place these days. I am so blessed to have her as my mother.
The night had to end with some baking, that is before I spend all night long studying. I made Peanut Butter 'n' Jelly cake. Unfortunately my lack of patience ruined the prettiness of my cake but at least I have icing to glue the pieces together.
Husband and I have had the best weekend together. After finals tomorrow we have that last day before work takes over again and we become consumed with our busy lifestyles. I'm hoping for another perfect weekend next week and hopefully a healthier one, also. This has been a novel, signing out.
-A Wife.
