After some busy weeks prior I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet time this weekend had to offer. K and I had planned to go out for dinner on Friday but after my long commute home, I really didn't want to get dressed and head out again so we ordered Chinese food and relaxed at home catching up on Orange Is the New Black on Netflix.
On Saturday morning I woke up entirely too early for my liking but I sipped on some coffee and started on a design project for work that was really scheduled to start today. The project took more hours than I expected so K did the grocery run and then we headed over to Home Goods to buy some curtains and random home decor. After some shopping & errands it was time for some happy hour at Graffiti Junktion.

We had a quick bite for dinner at Toasted (known for their fancy grilled cheese sandwiches) and the rest of the evening was spent at home relaxing.
On Sunday morning K and I cooked up some Crab Eggs Benedict and relaxed at home watching the news. I then got to work in the kitchen to make some pink and blue Rice Krispies Treats for Kate's Gender Reveal party. (recipe coming soon)
I arrived to the party dressed in pink even though I was mentally undecided. K dressed in blue and Kate and H dressed neutral.
Team Blue + the parents
It was then time for Kate and H to cut the cake to reveal their baby's gender.
It's a GIRL!!!!
I can't wait to shower baby S and Kate with gifts in the months to come. Girls are so much fun to shop for.
After leaving the party we stopped by a local brewery to have a beer to cap off the weekend.
It was a nice refresher of a weekend. I hope this week treat you well and I'm looking forward to the long weekend ahead.

ReplyDeleteIs your commute longer with the new job? That was a really hard adjustment for me.
