Back!

We're back from our first family vacation. It was awesome and exhausting. We had such a great time being with my sister and her family. Since I'm still recovering, I'll just post my favorite photos from the trip.

We decided to drive through the night so the boys would sleep the whole way. It's horrible to drive all night but it was good for the boys.

Half way there!

There were games and candy.

Lunches.

Movies.

Playing.

And other kinds of funness :))

Laura and I sharing a breast pump!

Then the long drive back. We ended up stopping at a hotel thanks goodness.

And finally home.

Also while we were seat Truman turned 6 months old! It's a little hard to believe!

Now it's back to reality for everyone ;(

Almost Vacation Time!

Tomorrow we are leaving for Pennsylvania to see my sister, her new baby and the rest of her family! I'm super excited to see them but the drive is 9-10 hours long :( Also, we are driving through the night so the boys can sleep the whole way. But that means we have to be awake all night. We're praying for safety and energy! 

This will most likely be my last post until we get back. 

Tried avocado for this first!

New youth group game! They loved it!

Walter is like that cat that sits in the window.

Pray for us! See ya when we get back! 

Monday Morning

Good morning. It's gonna be an extra coffee kind of day.

Walter has already been in trouble, fallen off a chair and Truman is being grumpy. Also my hair needs colored. I was hoping for that trendy ombré look but it's leaning more toward the trashy, dirty look. Which that may actually be trending. Ahead of the curve, you know? 

I need to clean and go to the store but I'm seriously so sleepy. I may have to stop by Starbucks for the really good stuff. 

Anyhow, good morning! I'll leave you with something slightly humorous.

Facebook Break

I've taken a break from Facebook and I'm seriously debating on deleting it for good. I was on it way too much. It was awful. I felt like an idiot because it took me like 3 hours after deciding to delete the app off my phone to actually do it! I kept going back and forth on the idea and saying how I need it then I thought, "This is ridiculous! If this stupid app is causing me this much distress, then it needs to be gone.". It was like quiting a nasty habit. It was hard and I'm still tempted to get on the computer "just to check to see if someone needed me". Pathetic. But it's done and I'm glad I did it. 

Walter is our daredevil.

Paul and Michelle came over Friday night to just hang out and do nothing. Which is my favorite. Walter loves to pet Paul LOL!

Lazy Saturday!

Love getting weird snapchats from my love. 

Selfie Sunday because I'm narcissistic. 

The Oscars are on tonight and I kind of want to watch them. I've never watched them before and I think it could be fun. Something interesting to half watch while I crochet my life away :) 

To Eight More Years

We celebrated our anniversary at this amazing restaurant in town. It's this little hidden gem with the most delicious food. The owner/chef is so eccentric and talented and just by giving him a bad vibe or if he decides he doesn't like you (for any reason at all) then he won't let you eat there! It's super intimidating but it also makes you feel special when he lets you make a reservation (which you have to make a month in advance but we got lucky and he fit us in at the very last moment!!). It's seriously the best and most food I've ever eaten!

The owner hates it when you're late or too early (I told you he's eccentric) so we took a selfie before heading inside :)

You need to block out 3 hours to eat here. This is Travis's look of anticipation.

Also, I forgot to mention that when you make a reservation you are the only people there. He only cooks for one party a day. 

Another one of Travis because he's so handsome!

LOOK!! Not pictured is bread, butter and wine.

Here is dessert! Not pictured is the piping hot dark chocolate ganache. I almost died. 

Travis's boss's family watched the boys for us and that was so awesome of them. 

The next day I think I was still full. The boys and I just relaxed and built a tent :)

And here is today:

I finally finished my flower pillow. I'm not sure if I should keep it or give it away. Still pondering. (Check out my crochet Instagram: midwestmomvest)

Yikes. Team no sleep :( 

Travis, I love you so much and all the sacrifices you make. You are my perfect mate and I'm so glad God chose us to be together. To eight more years! :)
