Manic Monday!

Happy Monday!  🙂  So, today is a holiday for Kaleigh so we are going to take the day and just hang out!  No errands, no running around….just simply staying around the house…I say that now but I know when tomorrow rolls around and the kids are driving me nuts we will have to get out of the house haha!  So, maybe a trip to the bowling alley 🙂

We had a pretty good weekend.  The Valentine’s Day and anniversary festivities continued and we went out to eat with Nana and Papa at Outback on Friday.  No cooking for me, yay!  Saturday evening Jay and I went out to eat for our anniversary since our plans to go out of town changed and then headed to his brother Will’s apartment to celebrate his birthday.  It was a fun night, but we stayed up way too late and I paid for it yesterday.  I was SO tired and useless!  Im just glad I got all the cleaning done Saturday so I was able to allow myself to be lazy.  I am so thankful that I can mentally be able to take weekends and relax because I know that soon enough I will be photographing weddings and I wont have weekends for a while!

FYI, if you have never been to Edo’s Squid before in Richmond, you HAVE to try it!  Definitely make reservations in advance because it stays packed and even when you make the reservations you may have to wait, but it is SO worth it!  It quickly became my favorite restaurant and I LOVE everything about it!  You wouldnt think that its that great based on the location and how it looks(like a hole in the wall haha) but I just love the atmosphere and of course the food is beyond amazing.  I always get the eggplant parmesan and I love it but when I tried Jay’s dish on Saturday the flavor was so amazing so that is the dish Im getting next time we go(which is very soon I hope lol)

Like I said before, I was really lazy Sunday and basically did NOTHING!  Well, I cant say that, but it felt like I did nothing haha!  I finished editing my  bridal session, did some light cleaning and wrote the blog entry for today, but that was it.
