Happy Weekends

If I had to describe my ideal weekend, I'd probably come up with a lot of answers. There's so much I like to do and so many places I like to go to, that I wouldn't be able to squeeze them all into one weekend. But sometimes the simplest things are the best things, like going home and spending time with the people you care about the most.

I always love going home, but in the wintertime it's especially nice. We always have a fire burning in our wood stove, and there's nothing like snuggling up with my two pups, watching the flames and feeling their warmth.

Home is where the hearth is.

On Saturday, my mom and I went grocery shopping, then I got some delicious sushi for lunch. It was my favorite kind - spicy tuna. It's funny how something as simple as sushi can make a day so great... but it's just a reminder it's the little things that count.

My mom and I also went to our local Goodwill on Saturday morning. We're both big thrift store fans - she loves to look at the plates and china, and I like to look at old records and books. But this weekend I had an amazing find - hidden away on the bottom of a shelf, I found a pair of ROLLERBLADES! I immediately tried them on and took a few laps through the store. They were a bit small for my feet, but who cares, they're rollerblades! (And they were only $8!)

Saturday night I spent with Ryan. Somehow we ended up at Dave & Busters (basically Chuck E Cheese's for adults) and played games all night, like air hockey and skee ball. We had so much fun together!

I had a lot of things to be grateful for this weekend. Well, that's not entirely accurate - I have a lot of things to be grateful for always. But this weekend I was especially reminded of it :)
