Whew! I think that I
am still recovering from the weekend. I believe
that I need a weekend of relaxation after the busy weekend that we had.
First I am going to start off by saying I had an awesome weekend,
even though I am still recovering.
I started Saturday off by picking up my mom at her house and
driving over to my grandmother’s retirement community. You see it was family day at her retirement
community. Now often, in a loving way I
refer to my husband as a five year old. That
afternoon was my day to act like a child, I mean after all I do not have kids
to do some of these things with so why not do them on my own. I guess I should explain. For family day there were many activities
going on, some of which I did not get a chance to partake in. My highlight of the afternoon was the balloon
lady who was making different balloon items like Elmo, Cookie Monster, flowers,
ect. My choice, yes I wanted something,
was a flower corsage. And a flower wrist
corsage I got and I wore it proudly on my wrist. My next favorite thing was the photo booth
they had there, once I discovered the photo booth I promptly took pictures with
both my mother and my grandmother. Yes,
I did stick my tongue out in some of the pictures and I might have given them
bunny ears too!
Fun times were had by all, including my aunt, uncle, cousin,
cousin’s wife and their two little ones.
Then around 2:00 p.m. it was time to leave, I needed to take mom home so
I could get home and get ready for our next event.
On my way home the Husband called and said he had a surprise
for me. He had booked a hotel room downtown Indianapolis at the Omni Sevrin
. Sweet!
I could get ready at the hotel and then we could walk over to the Gleaner’s
Food Bank Fall Harvest Gala.
When I got
home we quickly packed a bag and we were on our way downtown. We checked in and got ready. Man, does the Husband look good in a suit!
Every year one of my good friends purchases a table at this
event. Gleaner’s Food Bank is a
wonderful resource for those that need food in the state of Indiana. Not only do they support food pantries, but
they are also very involved in having food pantries in the schools and a backsack
program for students. Words really cannot
describe how awesome they are and how awesome their volunteers are.
We had a wonderful time there and it was so nice to catch up
with my friend, as it had been awhile since I had seen her. We really appreciated her inviting us to
attend with her.
Then it was time to go back to the hotel. Did I mention the fact that my shoes were
KILLING me? I was not sure how much
farther I was going to be able to walk.
So the Husband, being the awesome man that he is, walked back to our
hotel, waited to get the car out of valet and drove over to get me. I love this man! Afterwards, we decided to change, me in to
some more comfortable shoes and we took a walk over to Buffalo Wild Wings. The Husband was like, there are all of these places
downtown and you choose to go to Buffalo Wild Wings. <Shrug> what can I say, I really wanted
some popcorn shrimp and it was 11:30 p.m.
The next morning, Sunday, we decided on checking out later to avoid all of the Colts
game traffic. So we were able to relax
for a bit. It really is a beautiful hotel!
After that, it was not home bound we were headed. Nope, we were headed over to mom and dad’s to
pick them up to go and use our Groupon to get some pizza, tokens and to
miniature golf at Ben & Ari’s in Fishers.
We all had a great time; you would have thought that we were a bunch of
teenagers. Mom ended up winning by one
point, Dad and I tied and the Husband lost.
He kept saying that he won because he had the highest score. Ha! I
actually think his golf lessons hurt his miniature golf game.
So do you see now why I said I need a weekend after the
weekend?
