Carrie and I were off duty on Friday! It's the first alone time we've had since the beginning of 2013. Thank you Indy, Pop-Pop, Nana, Jama!
Friday night, Carrie and I went out to dinner. My hair was shaggy and my beard was bushy, so my wife made me stop at a barber shop on the way. I tried to tell her "I only trust a barber I sleep beside! That's lying beside your quality!"
Carrie was not dissuaded.
Once I was cleaned up, I forgot my jacket on the coat rack, and we rushed to make our reservation at Hooked. There were sushi and tempura fried ice cream delights! Carrie was in love. She's even requested we stop by again the night before her surgery.
Saturday was more of a relaxed, get-stuff-done day. We slept in to the amazingly late hour of 8 AM. We went back to the barber shop to reclaim my jacket, to get gas, and to pick up Carrie's ring from the jeweler (the setting was changed to be more sturdy).
Afterwards we got coffee at Wegman's and worked on filling out job applications to my school system for Carrie. My wife is determined to work. She would prefer to find something in environmental stewardship and working with youth or volunteers, but she's more than willing to jump into education if no opportunities present themselves.
Only time will tell.
We ended our holiday at a Starbucks near Nana and Pop's playing a Scrabble card game.
Carrie won the last round.
Fully caffeinated, we packed up and headed over to greet Shane when his nap ended.
