What a great Weekend

Can I just say it was so nice to be with Ben for the whole weekend! We get busy during the week, and time seems to fly when we're apart, but man was it fun to be together. We had a really fun weekend at home, with just the right mix of good friends, good food, and relaxation! On Friday night we got together to hang out with our good friends Jake and Erica. Actually, the real reason we went over to hang out with them was so we could play with Gavin...basically the coolest kid ever. If I could guarantee that my kid would be as cute and cool as Gavin, I might actually consider having a kid, but because I just can't guarantee that, I'll stick to hanging out with Gav on the weekends! I thought it would be a fun idea for Gavin to play with my camera, and boy was I right. He had so much fun taking self portraits of himself, I wasn't sure I was ever going to get the camera back. He got a little mixed up with the direction the camera needed to be facing, and I'll be honest, I was a little worried he was going to blind himself with the flash, but it ended up being ok! In addition to playing with the camera, we had some serious running races, we took a nap on the floor together, and Gav got a big kick out of repeatedly waking Benny up! (so Gav calls Ben "Benny", and for some ridiculous reason it's totally stuck with us, so I'm always calling Ben "Benny" now, it's kinda funny)







Saturday morning we slept in....of course (another reason why I can't consider having kids any time soon!). Then we had breakfast at our favorite little place downtown. We have a tradition that every conference weekend we go to Penny Cluse for breakfast before the first session on Saturday, but since I'm going to Bennington over conference weekend, we decided to go this past weekend. For those of you who are local....you have to check this place out. I promise it's worth the wait!

After breakfast, we of course had to do a little shopping on Church Street. (Just as a side not, this past week I worked 12 hours at BR, sold $6000 worth of clothes for them, and probably didn't even break even after I made a few necessary weekly purchases. Too bad we don't work on commission. At what point do I need to cut my losses and quit??)
Saturday afternoon we spent relaxing and catching up on some Friday Night Lights episodes. Such a great show btw.
Then we enjoyed a lovely evening at the church for the YW broadcast. I love my calling in the Young Womens. We have the best girls ever.

Sunday was full of church, games and naps. It doesn't get much better than that. I'm pretty sure I killed Ben at St. Petersburg, but we ran out of time to really seal the deal. (Thanks Mike and Kristin for introducing us to that game. If anyone is looking for a good two player game, we totally recommend it! And btw...don't judge it by the box, I know it looks weird, but it's tons of fun!)

I'm so glad that I'm down to only 5 more sleeps alone! I'm looking forward to spending the weekend in Bennington, enjoying General Conference together, and shopping at the outlets in Manchester!
