We had no plans this weekend which is sometimes fun. I have been battling bronchitis and now allergies for nearly a month and rest was something I welcomed. I woke up this morning with a cold pill hangover but was told my daughter had made plans to go to the mall with her friend. My husband told me they weren’t leaving for an hour so I quickly made some tea, showered and got ready. I wasn’t going to miss out on some fun. We picked up her friend, and headed to the mall. Once the kids went on their way, we grabbed some lunch and did a little shopping. What a fun day! We also had plans for my friend Kandice that I was stationed with back in Texas to come over for dinner, so we stopped by the store on the way home for some last minute dinner items.
Today I am thankful for:
- The fact my daughter is finally making friends here. Middle school age is hard.
- Last minute date lunches with my hubby. We don’t get much time just for us, so today was nice.
- 65% sales at Dillards. I got two super cute Free People dresses for 65% off. Winning.
- Dinner with friends. For the first time since we’ve moved here, we had a friend over for dinner. Steaks, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, bacon wrapped asparagus and my cauliflower mash were a big hit.
- Positive outlooks. While this year may have started out rough, I am hopeful for better days.
Do you make time for date time for your significant other? What’s your favorite dish to cook for others? Are you an “on sale” shopper?
Cheers!
it’s funny how a day can completely turn around in a positive way )

Thanks, Debbie. Me too. Moving so often has made making friends for all of us a little hard.
