The Weekenders

This weekend was good.  Like real good.  I want to go back in time and live it all over again.  But, that's unrealistic.  So I'll just give you the Reader's Digest version.

Friday night:

handsome

This is Mista T. and I before heading out to eat the best meal of our lives.  We decided to spend date night at Ninja--a sushi house here in Cedar.  Oh. My. Goodness.  I don't know if I've ever been happier in my life.  I could live and die in the meal I consumed.  I even ate eel.  I'm getting to be so cool.

We then went for a walk and ended the evening watching Chopped.  It was such a good night.

Saturday:

My love and I had a very lazy morning--complete with episodes of Chopped {obsessed, much?}, and Burger King.  We then ventured to the great land of Saint George, UT to hang out with Mista T.'s family.

I got to see some South Dakota babies I'd been missing a whole lot.  It was great.

Brian, hiding from me

Dory, playing with something

Gracie {not a South Dakota baby}

That day I also learned that my husband knows every single lyric, of every single song, in Newsies.  It was a proud {and unusual} moment.

Sunday:

I said buh-bye to one of my very best friends.  Sister Krista Nanette Smith will be departing for Sao Paulo Brasil tomorrow morning for eighteen months.  She gave a sweet little speech, and my eyes watered with a special kind of sadness.  I'm going to miss that little dear a whole heck-of-a-lot, but I know she is going to do a world of good.

Love you, sista gurrl.

On Sunday, we also got some family photos taken.  I spied on the ones I wasn't in, and this one was my favorite:

I'm in love with Dory's expression

Such cuties.

Now:

I need to attend to an awesome laundry mountain I've been avoiding for awhile. So fun.  You're probably a little bit jealous.

My husband is asleep.

Remember how I told you I did a photoshoot for my friend, Kristen?  Well, I got to see some of the pictures today, and it was exciting.

I have a confession:  I hate pictures of myself.  I always have the hardest time feeling secure with what I look like, and how I'm being portrayed--but this was largely a positive experience.  Jen was great at making me feel confident and relaxed.

So, if you don't mind, I'll show you a few:

Do you think I'm vain? If  I didn't know me, I'd think I was, too.  I just posted seven pictures of myself.  Wow.

On another note, this weekend has been magnificent.  And it's still happening!  No school tomorrow--holla.

If you feel like telling James to wake up, that'd be fine.  I'm getting a little bored.  I  just watched a really interesting documentary on Netflix, though.  It was called "Model Me."  I recommend to you.
