What a whirlwind this past week has been.
School started today (more on that later this week!)

Here is a sneak peak about what we have been up to the past week
We had a Kindergarten playdate at the splash pad for Claire:
Helped some of our friends move into a house less than a mile from ours:
Went to the circus:
Kevin started on a house project.....Demo of our current Fireplace. Nothing like starting a home reno project the last week of summer. Yikes!!
Completed the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge:
I read my final book of the summer...(I finished it in 1 day....SO good!!)
Drank a lot of coffee getting amped up for Back to School...thanks for the wisdom Oprah:
I dragged my kids to my classroom for several hours so I could get things organized for this week:
Not only was last week the last week of Summer, but Kevin and I celebrated our 12 wedding Anniversary!
Our actual anniversary was yesterday, but we decided to celebrate it on Saturday night instead.
(Having a date night on a Sunday night before the 1st day of school would not be relaxing!)
For our date night, we did one of our favorite things.....rode our cruisers downtown for drinks & dinner!
Gotta love a selfie while riding a bike. #skills :)
Yummy drinks:
Pork Chop & Balsamic Glazed Peaches....YUM.
Filet Mignon. So good. YUM.
Creme Brulee for dessert. Amazing.
Love date nights. Can't believe this was our first date night of the entire summer...and it was on the last night of summer.
And here we were 12 years earlier. Babies!
Kevin and I share an anniversary with my parents! They celebrated their 40th anniversary on Sunday!
Here is a little flashback to their wedding day in 1974:
After our date night on Saturday night at 3:20 in the morning to an Earthquake. It was a BIG one.
One of the biggest ones we have had since 1989. It was a 6.0 Earthquake. It lasted a looong time.
Ugh. Earthquakes are no fun. The epicenter of the quake was right outside Napa, and it hit Napa hard.
Here is a photo from one of my friends who owns several restruants in our town and he has 1 restaurant in Napa.
This is a photo he posted on FB showing some damage to his Napa Restaurant....all of their wine....crashed to the floor.
Ironically, we were at one of his restaurants just hours before on our date night!
Lots of prayers for those in Napa, there was tons of damage throughout Napa because of this Earthquake.
So there you have it....a random recap of our last week.
School started today & we are trying to get back into the swing of things!
I can't believe summer is actually over.
It was one of the fastest summers yet.
Have your kids started school yet?
I'm so excited that I won! Thanks you so much! My email is lnwalter@hotmail.com (I'm one of your R and F customers!).
ReplyDeleteSo glad you guys are okay after the quake! That's scary stuff right there. Congrats on 12 years!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 12 years!
ReplyDeletehmmm...I'm Lindsay W. also...and one of your R+F customers. haha! if it was me that won here's my email also... :) lindsayrosewoods@gmail.com
Another thing that we have in common - my parents also were married 40 years ago! Their anniversary is in two weeks on 9/8, which is also my 37th birthday. :D
ReplyDeleteSo glad you guys are okay and did not sustain any damage.
My kids have been back at school for three weeks - Alabama starts pretty early and Tennessee started on July 31! But they get long breaks throughout the year.
Happy Anniversary! It goes without saying that couples who were married in 2002 are the coolest. ;)
Ooo, I hope the winner "Paige" is me Paige. If so, I'm at paige_estes@hotmail.com. Good luck this week! Teachers are the best! My mom taught 5th grade for 35 years! My oldest boy is starting 3rd grade and my baby is starting Kindergarten! Tears!
