Hello readers out there!

It's now almost 5pm.  The day has flown right on by!!  What has my day brought to me?

Around noon I got to have lunch with my hubby.  I will say he was "in the zone" as in that as we ate, he checked his watch about a million times and talked about nothing but the test and the problems and everything else.  I do not blame him!  I returned him to the hotel about 15 minutes before the next session began.  And I am hoping that the final 4 hours have gone as well as the first seemed to have!

After I returned Jer to the hotel, I headed over the mall. I took a stroll through a few stores.  I spent a lot of time missing my bestie because there is a Target connected to the mall.  You can actually walk right into it from the mall.  It has our names written all over it!  I did manage to score a shirt for Jer and some cute shoes for me...along with a new book to add to my reading list from Barnes and Noble.

The mall odyssey left me thirsty.  So I took my tired walkin' legs to McDonalds to get a fountain Coke.  Near the McDonalds was a huge Old Navy.  While there I did a little family clothes shopping b/c guess what?  This Old Navy had maternity clothes!  I got two new t-shirts and a pair of shorts that I'm pretty sure I will probably live in most of the summer! I found Jer a pair of linen slacks I'm sure he'll love, along with another nice collared t-shirt. I also scored Owen a TON of summer t's and tanks for $5 a piece!  I'm excited to show the boys my finds!

All over the mall I saw little ones with their mommas and daddas.  It made me miss my little man and my hubby.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my day of solitude.  It was peaceful, quiet and pretty darn relaxing.  But I'm ready to go back to life as usual.  Hectic...full of no's and sippy cups and folding my hubby's gym shorts with every other load.  I think Jeremy and I are going to grab a little celebratory dinner tonight on the way home. I think Baby boy is telling Momma Red Lobster is on the menu ;)  Jer told me this morning that it'll be 3 to 4 months before we know the test results....that's a seriously LONG time! So I'm hoping he can rest easy and not worry too much about anything but just enjoying some family time for the rest of the weekend!!

Here's to great get aways and wonderful quiet days...that make you thankful for the noise and clutter and routine of the everyday :)
