Man oh man, I cannot say enough about this past Monday! It was incredible. We had such a great day. My good friend Mary Rath gets a big shout out for making our day amazing. Not many pictures were taken but we had such good times. After we woke up and got ready for the day, we dropped off Miles at Mary's house. She is so amazing to take him for the day with her own two boys! What a great friend! Anyway, we dropped him off and pealed out of the driveway... on our own for the first time in a while. We headed out to Hillcrest to enjoy lunch at a local Thai Restaurant. We sat and talked and enjoyed our meal leisurely. It was pure bliss, heaven on earth, eating like it was meant to be. I don't remember a meal that lasted more than 15 minutes since Miles was born, quite frankly, I don't remember much of anything anymore.
After lunch we headed for the movies, another distant memory. Movies at the theatre? What's a theatre? Just kidding, it's not that serious, but close. It started to poor down rain while we were in line so Mike waited while I took refuge in doors. I aint gettin this hair wet. We saw a movie, not a good one, but a movie non the less and then walked around the mall a bit.
After that we picked up Miles. We were gone a total of 4 and a half hours. Bless Mary's heart. The beautiful thing was that when we got home Miles went down for a nap and slept for 3 hours! It was wonderful! Mike and I just vegged and hung out. Miles woke up and was so sweet for the rest of the night. We all just hung out together. Mike and I, and for that matter, Miles all felt well rested and very relaxed. We ended our night listening to music and Mike and Miles wrestled. (There new thing they do together. Miles thinks its hilarious when Mike gives him the sleeper hold. :))

Oh Joni... this was all so sweet. You are right! Bless Mary's heart :). So glad you two got some time alone. Much needed. Not every Monday, but definitely plan just the two of you every once in a while.

I'd babysit Miles every Monday if we lived close to each other.
Julie- We would take you up on that offer... We were just talking yesterday how amazing it WILL be when you move here. We miss you so very much. As you can see, I put WILL in all caps, were expecting it :)
New Monday PLEASE!!!! I know Miles is sleeping longer, so there's really no excuse. :)
