john and i celebrated 12 years of marriage in chicago. it was so nice to get away and spend some quality time together. we rode the train and spent the day shopping, walking, and eating wonderful cupcakes. ;) we had beautiful weather. we ate dinner at catch 35 and had amazing seafood. john decided to splurge on theater tickets and we got to see hamilton. it was a great show.
sunday we slept in. it was glorious! then we went to a cute cafe and got some breakfast burritos and headed down by the lake. we sat and read and talked and just were still for hours. it didn't feel like we were in the big city. it was relaxing and peaceful.
i started present over perfect on saturday and finished it on the train on the way home sunday. it's one of my favorite books. i got sooooo much out of it and it has confirmed some things for me as a wife and mother. i teared up more than once as it spoke to me on so many levels. i felt as though the author took the words that have been swarming around in my heart for so long and put them on paper. it's a must read!
the kids and i enjoyed the week off together. i declared the week tech free, which was a little more challenging since we were stuck inside because of the weather, but it was sooo nice to not hear bickering over the tablets and seeing my kids glued to them. we played games and did a lot of puzzles. we also brought out the perler beads and everyone enjoyed playing with those. when we couldn't take the inside any longer, we'd go to the barn and mess around.
thursday we went to indy with aunt jen to see aunt jenn. we went out to eat, build-a-bear, the lego store and handel's for the best ice cream! we didn't get to see uncle toby or trent because they were working and we had to leave mid-afternoon.
we celebrated kenna and greyson's birthday with the family and got to put up the trampoline on saturday. it was actually nice!
spring break is our favorite! 💛
