On Sunday we woke up late and decided to spend a quiet day out together. Originally, we'd planned a road trip, but the weather wasn't cooperating (read: storms from the west!). Instead we visited a nearby community that boasts a beautiful lake smack dab in the center of town. It was a quiet, beautiful place to walk, talk and just spend time together. It was perfect. And I'm so thankful he's willing to take out time to focus on "us".
We also made our way to a local book store, where I loaded up on a couple of new titles. One of which was "Matched" by Alli Condi. Many have compared this book to The Hunger Games. Honestly, I can't imagine anything coming close to the "amazingness" of The HG series. They are, and probably will be my favorites 'till I die! But, I'm gonna give this other series a try. So, we'll see. ;-) Anyone else read it? Thoughts?
The night ended with dinner & dessert at Nathan's...and OH MY WORD. The Ice Cream was amazing. I only plowed through 1/4 of the blast. My Choice?Jamaican Me Crazy Blast with Oreos. Think Almond Joys + Oreo + Chocolate Overload. Good stuff.
How was your weekend? Happy Tuesday!

Sounds like a great weekend!
I just read Matched! It was really really good. It's definitely not Hunger Game status because like you I was completely obsessed with those books but it's still very good and I'm looking forward to the second book in the series.
Three cheers for spending special time out as a couple.

^Awe, thank you Glenda!
I read matched a while ago - I really liked it, but seriously, why can't all books end with the main character married and happy jumping into a pit of puppies?
I haven't been able to gear myself up yet to read the sequel, Crossed!
I want to take a trip to a lake! These photos make me want to be there right now :) Happy Tuesday!
Sounds like the perfect weekend!
I spent Friday at church working on the youth room renovation. Saturday, a bunch of us from church went to a Spanish restaurant nearby and pigged out on yummy food. (I splurged and had a Cafe Con Leche, loaded with caffeine, yum!) And then Sunday was church. I guess it was a churchy kind of weekend, lol!
I really like your new header!
^^Cafe Con Leche??
Oh...I need that right about now! ;-)
I want to read Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but I'm so scared haha! Beautiful pictures of the lake :)

Oh my goodness, that blast looks divine!! I've been craving a good ice cream for FAR too long!
I've been interested in the Girl..tattoo book but not up for a really dark book, maybe I'll wait to be in a 'mood' to read that. haha
Thanks for stopping by today! :)

I've been wondering about Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.... I'm glad you said that. I just don't think that book is for me.
