A Relaxing Weekend on the Books

Well it is once again Monday, cant say that I am thrilled to say goodbye to the weekend but on to the next one right? This weekend was so nice because it was nothing overly exciting just relaxing and a nice time. Part of the reason our weekends can be so uneventful is because we don't know many people out here in Dallas so we spend most of our time just the two of us, but I'm also super ok with that. I never get tired of spending time with Evan which is why I feel so lucky I get to hang out with him for life... ok sorry mushy moment over.

Lets start this journey on Friday. By that afternoon I was more than ready to get off work and have a free weekend. Like I mentioned I have been tired and burnt out, however I do think this weekend helped a lot. So as soon as I got off I headed home for a bit until Evan got off of work. As soon as he did he picked me up and we headed to a local park to walk around and then enjoy some drinks and dinner at a restaurant in the park.

Our View from the Patio

 

We had never been to the Addison Ice House before, we had only seen it we were in the park once before, it just so happened to pop into my head when I was driving home that day and when I mentioned it to Evan he thought it was a great idea. Part of the reason I really wanted to check it out was simply because they had a nice patio and it had a pretty view of the park. Seriously I think I'm on a hunt for all the best patios in my area, I may need to compile a list. I just want to get in all the patio time possible before it gets scorching hot. To start we ordered some drinks and appetizers and just hung out for a bit, we were in no hurry. Then we decided we might as well stay for dinner. The food here was seriously good, not healthy by any means but very good.

Saturday morning we both got up and got hair cuts, no not a normal thing I make my appointments the same day as my last cut and Evan just thought it was a good time for him to get one as well. After that we hit the gym as usual. I may have taken a nap because I was that tired. Then we decided we wanted to whip up some dinner at home that night (we typically go out on Saturdays) and made a version of a stuffed poblano pepper recipe that I found on Pinterest. They came out great and we really liked it a little different flavor than your typical stuffed bell pepper. Here is my attempt at taking a decent picture of it. I definitely get frustrated at my inability to take a picture of food that actually looks appetizing. After dinner we headed out to see the movie Neighbors, it was really funny in my opinion I enjoyed it. There were even certain parts that just made me miss college.

 

Sunday morning I convinced Evan that we should start the day with brunch and I'm sure glad. We spent the morning sipping mimosas enjoying every interesting but yummy brunch food I wish I had snapped a picture to share. After that we ran errands and cleaned around the house before heading out to the gym. Sunday is our favorite day to go to the gym because the place is always empty which we love. Some days after work our gym is such a mad house there is almost nothing available which is such a treat when you are trying to complete your workout. Then we pretty much relaxed for the rest of the day.

 

Yesterday my sister and I spent a good amount of time on the phone discussing wedding plans which was just so much fun for me. I am so excited and cant wait to get the actual planning under way. Last night I also decided it was time to get started on a project for the wedding party so you better believe I will be heading Hobby Lobby's way on my lunch break today to scout out supplies. I cant wait to share the finished project with you.

 

Happy Monday
