Scenes From The Weekend

Thunderstorms all day Saturday created the perfect excuse to burrow underneath the covers with hot tea, candlelight and plenty of reading material. That's what I did for the entirety of the day and let me tell you, it rocked.

I ventured out of my cave for a home-cooked dinner and then listened to the rain beat against the windows as we snuggled with a movie.

On Sunday, we treated ourselves to a delicious Thai dinner at a local restaurant that's been on our "must try" list for awhile. We talked about plans for our wedding and the future and I stared across the table at him and felt like laughing and crying at the same time because of how monumental this all is.

My mom is staying with us for a couple of weeks before she leaves the country to spend a year teaching in China: she and my sister surprised us by baking strawberry vanilla cupcakes with lime-infused cream cheese icing as an "anniversary treat." They marched in holding a tray with a candle and sang a little ditty. Have I mentioned my family is super cute? We promptly demolished the entire plate.

Today, officially: Happy two years to my handsome almost-hubby! The best is yet to come.

 (Planned to do this last year. Glad I got my act together this year. He loved it).

P.S. Emma and I went on a sister date to see Crazy Stupid Love on Friday night and it was crazy stupid good. Recommended.
