After that dreadful Monday, I had a church meeting in the evening. Let me tell you that I have never been so excited to go to a meeting! It was in air conditioning, and it was with ADULTS. I wasn't ready to face going home yet when the meeting was over, so my friend Jen kindly agreed to go out with me afterward. It was refreshing to have some girl time, and I had missed talking to her lately!
I got to drop Ellie off at my parents' on Tuesday afternoon to sleep over, like usual. Boy, did I need that time! I wandered through a farmer's market and then went grocery shopping. I got the idea to make a couple fancy things I'd been wanting to try, so I called Isaac and asked if he'd mind coming home early and grilling tonight - just the two of us. We had a lovely dinner of salad with homemade Olive Garden dressing, fresh fruit, and grilled sirloin! (This is the first time in my life that I have actually purchased steak - it was wonderful.) We accompanied the dinner with a pitcher of Citrus Mint Mojitos, recipe compliments of my friend Katie and Pampered Chef, which was delicious and refreshing as well.
After dinner, we went for a walk around the neighborhood and watched Definitely, Maybe, a romantic comedy that was very good. This was a very wise way to spend our Ellie-less time. I feel like myself again, and had the energy to be good mom again today! (You should see a 6 1/2 month pregnant lady play hopscotch!)

oooh... that looks GOOD!
Can we come next time?
(Or would that ruin the point?)
It was fun to go out. I am so glad that you were able to spend some quality time with your hubby.
