A Great Weekend

Although this weekend brought its share of rain, it also brought plenty of sunshine and lots of quality family time.  We didn't have any big Memorial Day Weekend plans, but instead just enjoyed a quiet weekend together.  I went to the gym and cleaned around the house, and Steve ran and went to the grocery store because he knows how much I loathe that activity.  We also took plenty of time to kick back and relax.

 Reading break.  They jumped in to cool off after finishing a chapter.  We still haven't really figured out what to do with our "grass" area, but we are loving the space.

 Last night we grilled burgers and dogs, and today we made some delicious ribs with corn on the cob.  I think it was our grill's last hurrah ... it's 11-years-old and pretty rusted out.  It won't make it through the summer, but it got us through this weekend!  We enjoyed eating outside, party lights on, singing along to 90's country tunes on Garth Brooks Pandora station.  We got all of the inflatables out and blown up, so pool season is official.

On weekends like this, I find myself looking at Steve wondering how the heck we got so lucky.  Who knew that two 19-year-old college kids whose worlds collided at a frat party one night would end up here?  Life isn't always easy, but it sure is good.  Very, very good.  Hope you had a great weekend, too!
