Monday I ended up working a half day and with the rest of the day I took my kindle to Starbucks and started reading "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. I love her books..... I've only read a few but I've wanted to read this one for years. When Jon got off work we took Cooper to the dog park then went into Huntington to have a little date. We used a gift card to go to CPK and then went over to REI (twist my arm) where Jon spent his Christmas money on 5 finger shoes. Jon can handle shoes like that from all his years at Hume Lake walking around barefoot everywhere.
When we got home we continued reading Harry Potter out loud together. Jon's family did this growing up and Jon and I began doing this a few years ago when we started "The Hobbit". We're about 3 quarters of the way through the first Harry Potter book. I have to tell you though.................................................................................................
I am sooo excited to be reading the books. We both LOVE the movies and we're so excited to hear more background on a bunch of the characters.
Tuesday after work I met up with Lauren and we went to Disneyland for a few hours. It was packed.
The new Little Mermaid ride is really cool
Wednesday after work I stopped off to get my new fav sushi roll on my way to join Jon at Biola. It has shrimp tempura, crab, and cream cheese...... you should get the picture of its amazingness. Jon is taking an inter term class that has him most nights at school till 9:30. During the night they watch a movie and discuss all the difference ways faith can play into it. The movie was "Amazing Grace" and it was a really amazing historical movie thats def worth the watch........ ( now for those of you that are freaking out going..... you just watched a movie during your fast....... well for me I decided that movies would be okay as long as it was intentionally watching and I wasn't by myself- this was about as intentional as it can get)
Thursday after work Jon and I took Cooper to the dog park again. It was later than we usually go so Cooper didnt have his usual friends to play with so instead Jon kicked around a deflated basketball with Cooper and man was he obsessed. I dont know if I've ever seen Cooper that attentive.
The coolest thing about this week is all the little pockets of extra time I"m finding I have....
-I'm taking longer showers
- I'm actually taking time to get ready for work as opposed to doing my makeup in the car on my way to work (which is only .5 miles away)
- I'm playing in the apt. with Cooper more
- I'm listening to music
And tonight I'm going to go help out Jon's mom and Dad babysit my beautiful nieces.
