These were all our purchases from the day. We somehow managed to fit our luggage in too!
One of my favorite purchases of the weekend.
I absolutely LOVE Mexican food, and Abuelo’s is my fave Mexican restaurant! So of course we had to eat lunch there and it was FABULOUS!
Cousin Marcie, Marji, and Andrea.
Brandy, Me, and Leslie
A couple of us girls decided it was time for a much needed girls weekend. Marji, Andrea Swenson, Leslie Posey, and me loaded up and headed out on Friday after all the husbands got off work. I can’t remember enjoying a 5 hour drive so much!! There were no kids screaming, annoying cartoons playing, or constant stops for peeing. It was a stress free drive full of great conversation! We got to Dallas around 10:30 and stayed with one of Marji’s friend, Brandy. We dragged our butts out of bed after staying up way too late, and began our day around 9:00. We went to IKEA, Sam Moon, the outlet malls, and Fire wheel Mall. Marji and I were able to see our Cousin Marcie who spent part of the day with us. We ended the day at a wonderful Italian restaurant where an Italian Elvis sang Happy Birthday to me. It was so wonderful to get out of town for a couple of days and have some “me” time. I didn’t have to worry about school, cleaning, cooking, or breaking up fights. The only thing I had to do was talk, shop, and eat………….it doesn’t get much better than that!! I am grateful for an amazing husband that doesn’t mind playing Mr. Mom when I am not around and encourages me to take time for myself to de-stress . I love that he realizes I am a much better wife/mother when I am able to take time for myself. I love that my kids were so excited to see me when I got back and welcomed me with warm hugs and kisses. I love that I have a sister and amazing new friends to share these experiences with. I look forward to the next girls trip………..
