50 year Honeymoon

Elder Gong last October talked about making the honeymoon last 50 years then to start the second honeymoon after that.  This weekend was so much fun, Steve said it was part of out 50 year honeymoon :)  We didn't even do anything spectacular, but it was so much fun to be together!

Friday I met up with Steve in DC after classes, we had lunch with some of his law friends, then we played around DC.  We spent a little time in the Smithsonian and metroed home.  Later that evening we watched a chick-flick--The Lake House.  I loved it :) 

Saturday was our IKEA adventure. We got some stuff to make our apartment complete and of course ate some swedish meatballs for only $2.99.  We also went to Bed Bath and Beyond, got a steal of a deal, and then checked out baby gear at target (only to buy it cheaper online :)).  We had a good time putting the new furniture together--we love projects like that.

Sunday was wonderful, we went to church and then had dinner with Dave and Nikki and chatted with family on Skype. I love skype!

Monday, we finished building our dresser and bookcase.  It was the last day our pool was opened so we went for a little dip for about 5 minutes then it started pouring rain.  It made it all the more romantic in my mind :)  So we ran back home and got ready for Hallie's birthday party (our niece).  Dave and Nikki asked Steve to perform Hallie's favorite youtube video--The Butterfly Color Song.  So he learned it on the guitar and made some butterflies and we performed it for her.  Haha, she wasn't quite sure what was happening, but we enjoyed ourselves.  I've posted it for your personal enjoyment :)  If you want to hire us for your next birthday party...we charge a bowl of ice cream...that's all!


We ended the evening with updating our budget and a stellar Family Home Evening by Steve himself.

So...nothing out of the ordinary, just spending lots of time together and we loved it.  I am so blessed with an incredible husband!  Although it was regular day to day stuff...we felt like we were honeymooning.  So 10 months gone of our honeymoon and 49 years and 2 months left to go until we get to start honeymoon #2 :)
