Ok, whew! Its official. We’re home, all three kids are asleep, everything is carried in from the van. No unpacked, but inside nonetheless. A bathtub is running (how we’ve missed our tub!) and I’m laying in my bed, writing this out to you guys. It feels SO nice to be home!
We had a long but great day of travel. We ducked in to a Value Village along the way and found a PERFECT dress for me for this gala-type event I’m attending at the end of the month. I’ll show you when I have the rest of the outfit, but I’m attempting to assemble the look solely out of thrift stores or borrowing/reusing/recycling items. Could be interesting, but the dress alone is beautiful, and would likely speak for itself if I couldn’t find anything to accessorize it with.
As we drove, Brady and I continued to dream about the house we want to build. It was so exciting to spitball ideas back and forth, and see what things we felt really strongly about and what things we figured didn’t matter as much. Lots of discussion and of course, lots of decisions still to be made. But it was fun to dream together.
Once we got home, the kids were super giggly and funny, which was a lovely surprise! We tickled and wrestled and enjoyed our time getting them ready for bed, and there was little to no fuss at all. Those kids were at the perfect point of being ready, and not quite overdone. It was perfect.
Brady unloaded the van while I put at least some of the stuff where it belonged. At least in part. Toiletries bags are in the bathroom but not unpacked, things like that. It was so fun to unpack some of my fun new purchases! I didn’t do anything too overkill, but I did come out of our trip with some fun new stuff. Treats!
Our usual evening includes, blogging, Brady making his lunch for the next day, him playing some games on his iPad, myself watching a bit of YouTube, and then a soak in the tub. Today, I counted back, and I am behind 60 VIDEOS!!!!! I don’t even subscribe to that many YouTube channels, but a number of them video daily, and I have not been watching! While I’m thinking I’ll never catch up, I’m actually quite pleased that I was able to let that slide and just vacation without it 🙂 I don’t feel like YouTube is an addiction for me, I don’t have to watch it everyday, but when I get behind, it bugs me, and I really want to catch up. But this is much too much, and I actually feel fine about that. I’ll go back and watch the ones I really want to see, but certainly not even close to all of them! I’m happy that I don’t care, haha! Our last week and a half has been WAY too much fun, and I have not missed that guilty pleasure at all!
But now, I am missing the guilty pleasure of relaxing in a bubble bath with my husband. Here’s hoping its not hot enough to tick my sunburn off again!!
I have some bling jewelry that you might want to look at 🙂
Yes please!!!!
next time I see you we’ll have a bit of fun looking at it 🙂
