Monday, family night, has been designated as a “Do a Random Project” night. Zach usually hacks on the internet by my side as I work on a random task. This particular Monday was making tassel earrings. Super easy, and fancy…but I love anything with tassels, so I had to try them out.
Tuesday, my sister-in-laws came over for an Illustrator tutorial. Zach even hooked up my laptop to the television downstairs so they could get a better idea of what was going on. Hence, the laptop party in my family room. The four and a half of us [you can see Charlie in the Bumbo] went over the basics, ate Junior Mints and popcorn, and visited.
Thursday I went out to dinner with some of my friends to my favorite Italian restaurant. Always a good time, and the food was delicious.
Friday, Zach and I hit up sushi and a movie. I bet the people at Tsunami were wondering where we had been. The movie was lame (we tend to take turns picking, switching off each weekend) and Zach informed me next week was already decided – The Vow is on our hit list. I was elated I didn’t have to beg him to take me. I am not the typical girl when it comes to Valentines – I don’t desire flowers or jewelry, but mushy girly movies are something that he knows I love.
Saturday was spent running errands, church leadership training, spending some of my birthday dollas [see Jazz jersey + jewelry box + and colored Target denim below], and my niece Sammy’s baptism. She looked darling and giggled as she emerged from the waters of the font. It was SO sweet. Zach and I decided to hit up Market Street for some clam chowder after the baptism.
Sunday, after church, we celebrated Camron’s 6th birthday. My mom and I decided to take on the challenge of making his birthday cake – a lego cake to be exact. I thought it would be a breeze…cake + marshmallows + frosting. It was no ‘cake walk’. The cakes were sticky, the marshmallows were squishy…but we did the best we could, and Camron was ECSTATIC. He thanked me for making the biggest lego blue, his most favorite color. So even though they look a little ghetto, it was the thought that ultimately counted.
I even got a sleepy cuddle session, so at least (for now) he thinks I am pretty cool.
I know I do a lot of random things during my week, insignificant things. But the things that matter are the things that involve my family and friends – time spent together are the only times that really matter.
