I ♥ Saturdays

This Saturday was a lazy one for sure! We did something long overdue...we slept in! We awoke at 11:15, and it was glorious!!! The only problem is we had a date with some friends at 11:45! Talk about adrenaline. While guys may be able to put on pants, shoes, change their shirts and call themselves ready; this little lady needs some time. So much for washing my hair, thank goodness for dry shampoo!

We made it to our new favorite Thai restaurant in town, called Renoos. It is sooo good! For Las Cruces, it tastes pretty authentic to what I was eating in Chaing Rai 5 years ago. We met up with Daniel and Theresa, two of our favorite people, and spent the next 2.5 hours catching up on each other's lives. Our conversation quickly changed as the boys chatted away about the scary video games they were playing, and the girls talked about movies and TV series they just finished. It was effortless, natural...it was fun.

I so enjoy days like this. Good food, great people, and fun.

I ♥ Saturdays

Today was a wonderful day, brought on by not so wonderful circumstances. Today marks the first free Saturday of many Saturdays to come. Let me explain: the summer months are financially hard on all jewelry stores, and because of that, Bobby no longer works on Saturday mornings. While that may suck for our bank account, I am overjoyed to spend the whole day with my hubby.

Our first full Saturday together was spent wonderfully. We went to our local Farmer's Market (which is the best in the nation they say), and we had so much fun! My favorite things about the market:

*Iced soy pumpkin pie fair trade coffee that is locally roasted by Green Beans Gourmet Coffee

*Broken dish jewelry (they make sweet earrings/necklaces out of vintage china)

*Posole verde sandwiches from 138 Sandwich Food Truck

*The adoptable puppies (where we got Penny)

*And all the amazing performers

The rest of the day we spent going to a bunch of different stores, window shopping, and just being silly. So this is what the weekend feels like for normal people.

Let me clarify, I love every other Saturday, because that means Bobby has half the day off from work. It is so nice to have one morning where we can sleep in together, and act like a normal married couple. This morning I was blessed a by chorizo and egg breakfast (ladies, marry someone who loves to cook). :) Though I only get him until 2 pm, it is just so much fun to sit and talk, and maybe watch some funny videos on YouTube.

Saturday afternoons he heads to church to practice and then lead worship for the Saturday Night Life service...which means I get the house all to myself for a few hours. It is so fun to be able to surprise him with something when he comes home. Sometimes it's dinner, but lets be real, most of the time it is some random baked good I created. So to no avail, tonight I made two types of Paleo muffins, pumpkin almond chocolate chip, and double chocolate. He likes the pumpkin, I obviously love the chocolate (hint, hint, Bobby if you are reading this.)

I am always pleasantly surprised that something healthy can taste this good! We are not hardcore paleo-ists by any means, but I love being healthy. It is astounding how good we both feel when we eat right, and it has helped my hubby lose weight...he is looking amazing as well!
