A weekend in DE

David was able to fly into Philly this past weekend. I was super excited to show him around and to show him how good of a city driver I've become!

We took a few pictures and I'll try to upload them at some point--I have the camera here but don't have the USB cord to upload them to my computer. Bummer!

We spent Friday in Atlantic City. Wow...AC may have been nice at one point but it is a total dump now! I was afraid to walk on the beach because of all the glass and cans that were in the sand! We started our day at the Showboat casino on one end of the boardwalk and made our way down to Bally's. I gambled away all my money and David came home with $25 profit (JERK!).

After we spent the day gambling and walking around, we met up with my friend (R0sa), her husband (Rick) and her two girls (Gabriella and Bella) at Angelo's. We had a delicious meal although David and I filled up too much on the buffet and just had appetizers. We walked around the outlet malls and then parted ways.

Saturday we hoped on a train in Willmington, DE and took it into Philly to spend the day with Brian and Anna. We went to Love Park, the Philadelphia Museum of Art (aka the Rocky steps), the Liberty Bell and Redding Terminal Market. My favorite was probably running up the steps because I could do it! It wasn't THAT hard. The Liberty Bell was a little underwhelming because you have to stand in line for awhile and then walk through a hall with tons of information about the Bell. Then...there it is...It was still cool to see!

We got back to the hotel early enough to spend the evening watching movies and eating supper in bed. It doesn't take a lot to entertain us! We just want to be together. It was very hard to say goodbye to him on Sunday morning. I cried all the way from Philly to Deleware and pretty much all day. I cannot wait to get home on Friday to see my honey!

This weekend is my 10 year college reunion. In preparation for the reunion, I completed my college scrapbook! It feels wonderful to have it done!!!!! My lists of upcoming scrapbooks include:
  • Wedding (I'm almost done)
  • Honeymoon
  • May Seminar trip (Europe)
  • Summer Outreach
  • High School
  • After College (10 years worth of scrapping! Ugh...)
  • Childhood
We're having a "Croptoberfest" at my church in a few weeks. I'll finish up my Wedding scrapbook and move onto my Honeymoon one. I hope to get MOST of the honeymoon done. I'll have 12 hours after all! I told David last night that once I finish those, then it'll be time to have a baby and then I'll get behind again. :)

Speaking of scrapping and David....He is SOOOO supportive of my hobby! I just love it! He will talk about it with me even though I'm sure it bores him to death. He practically BEGS me to go to my events (which is probably because he wants time alone!)! He knows that scrapbooking gives me one night a month where I get to spend time in fellowship with other ladies and I really enjoy it!

Oh shoot! Just realized I'm going to be late if I don't get moving! Just SIX MORE SESSIONS for me to lead! I cannot wait until I get some time at home with my husband. I can't wait to make his lunches and cook him supper!

Delaware

What does one do when stuck in Delaware?

NOTHING!!!!

I am so bored! It has become painfully obvious in the past few weeks how my life is slipping away from me as I sit in my hotel room. My solution: Today I'm going to a weight watchers meeting in a part of Newark, DE that I've never been. I think it's in a mall. So maybe I'll get a good walk in and do some people watching.

This weekend I'm going to decorate our house for fall and have a few hours ALONE in the house. This never happens! I usually have to share the joint with David and Tristan. I'll have to post some picture when I'm done.

I started a running program which solves the boredom problem except I've been waking up at 4:45 am to get on the treadmill. I'm never bored in the morning...just in the evenings. So this doesn't solve my evening boredom problem.

I thought about bringing my scrap booking stuff but I really don't want to lug it across country. I have no desire to knit or even cross stitch. :( What's a girl to do??
