As you can see, it was a fun and festive weekend at the Rogers' household. Our visitors arrived on Friday night and the fun didn't stop all weekend. We had a great time. Saturday was a beautiful day but it might as well have been wasted on us. They (notice I didn't say we) spent the day trying to conquer Super Mario Bros. on the Wii while Noah and I watched. We did manage to leave the house for a few outings. For lunch we hit up a barbecue joint here called Hoggy's Barn and Grille. It was so yummy. That night, Stuart, Stacey and I hit up Jeni's ice cream. It's this great place that has all kinds of different ice creams. Do yourself a favor and google it. My personal favorite was the roxbury road, chocolate with homemade marshmallow and smoked almonds. It was delicious!!!
On Sunday, Stuart and I were able to leave the boys at home and attend church by ourselves. Wow, it is amazing how much more you can focus when you have no responsibility. Awesome!!! Both Stuart and I felt so refreshed afterward.
We were sad to see our visitors go but we will see them in just a few weeks when we make our way to IN for Cam's spring break. Yay!!!
In other news...I finally got my mini-van!!! We are so excited about it. It makes traveling so much less complicated. We shopped around and decided on a Mazda MPV. While it isn't as long as any of the other mini-vans out there, it is perfect for us because it fits in our garage. Besides that, it doesn't look like a granny van. Not only did we get a new mini-van, our new television for our living room arrived this week. For those of you who haven't seen our new house, our old television took up roughly 30 percent of our living room. Now, I feel like our living room is so much bigger and Noah has a lot more room to play on the floor.
If I sound high on life, it's because I am. I am so much happier these days due to the fact that we have had 4 days in a row of bright beautiful sunshine. Noah and I even busted out the jogging stroller yesterday. It was my first decent run in a long long time. Noah loved it too...until he fell asleep.
Because we got our new mini-van this weekend, we said farewell to a longtime friend of mine. Ruby, my first ever car, went to be with her new owner. It was a bittersweet moment for me. That car and I have been through a lot together. It was the first big purchase I ever made (and I almost had a nervous breakdown over it). She saw me through 2 stressful, crazy years of graduate school. Drove me to my first real job at Franklin College. Drove Stuart and I away from our reception on our wedding night. Saw me through 2 more jobs and drove us to a new state. The good news is that Ruby is still in the family as Stuart's mom now owns her. What a great car!!!
That's all I've got for now. Noah is napping in his crib and when he wakes up we are headed out to enjoy this beautiful day.
"Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy..."
