My Weekend

This weekend was a good one. One of those that you wish every weekend could be like. First off, I took the weekend off work. (Hey I like my job and everything but come on, don't we all wish we could enjoy our weekend and not work but still be getting paid at the same time? The beauty of vacation days)
Saturday morning started with a mani and pedi that I snuck off to while Jon happily played with Caden. It was niiice. I think I fell asleep at one point.

Then Saturday evening was our good friends Scott and Jennie's wedding. It was at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, and it was a beautiful wedding and so much fun. My mom and dad watched Caden for us so we could go, and Jon and I had a great time with each other and with friends. Dinner, dancing, a night out with friends--all in all, a good time! Here are some pics from the wedding: On the water

To round off the weekend, since I had today off I was able to sleep in (Caden had a slumber party at Grammie's, hence me being able to sleep in) and then I headed off to Burke Williams. When Jon found out I was taking today off, but he had his once a year huge "Fantasy Football" draft today, he insisted I make it a spa day for myself. No arguments here. It was wonderfully peaceful and relaxing. I enjoyed all the amenities as well as a relaxing massage. It was so nice to have some much needed "me" and quiet time since needless to say that doesn't happen much these days.
When I got home and told Jon all about it, he was saying how I need to do that more often. He said, maybe if it feels too expensive to get a full treatment, go for a "half massage" and then still enjoy the amenities. Um OK! Sign me up!
What a sweet husband I have to let me pamper myself and then even offer it up again so quickly. I could get used to this. :)
When Caden got home from Grammies, it was wonderful to hear how much fun he had and what a good boy he was. It's such a blessing to be able to leave our son with family that we love and trust, knowing that he gets so much attention and love. And we are even more blessed that everyone says he is such an "easy baby". (We think he is, so its nice to hear that from others too!) It makes it so much easier for us to get to do special things like this, knowing he is in good hands and enjoying himself.
Ok, that's all for now. Time to get ready for bed since I have to work tomorrow. Getting up for work has been a lot easier lately since Caden is sleeping through the night. And after my relaxing weekend, I'm thankful it shouldn't be that hard tomorrow!
