I had been looking forward to this weekend for sometime now. A friend of mine where I work gave me tickets to the last Cubs game. I have had them for while and wanted to surprise Kevin with a weekend away. On our budget I knew that it wasn't going to be possible, so I set up for a sleepover at Grandpa and Lisa's house.
All day Saturday the kids were looking forward to their sleepover. I was a bit worried because Victoria had been sick on Friday, and I just kept praying that her fever was gone. She showed no signs of it come Saturday evening so we loaded the kids up and dropped them off. When we got back in the truck we knew we were planning on running to the grocery store, but Kevin had a plan...I do not have a winter coat and he knew I would need one the next day sitting at the Cubs stadium. So he took me to the mall and MADE me buy one. As a mom, when the budget is tight, I will go without just to make sure my kids have what they need. It doesn't bother me at all, and growing up I clearly remember my mom doing this too. So I was able to get a new coat and even used my forgotten gift card to the mall.
The next morning we got up nice and early and headed into Chicago. It was so nice to just spend time with Kevin...it is a bit weird sitting in the truck talking to him with no interruptions. I loved it! We walked around the stadium and then headed to Harry Caray's for some lunch. Yummy!! I love their food. After lunch we headed into the stadium to find our seats. They were PERFECT seats and we had an awesome view!! (Thanks Jim for the tickets!!!)
By the time we both got home we were exhausted. What is it with that?? We picked up the kids, headed home and just crashed. We did have a wonderful time and I am so thankful for Kevin and all he does for us as a family. It was so nice to just have the time to spend together and be able to reconnect as a husband and wife.
