Sunday in the South

Today was one of those pretty perfect days. Nothing big was planned and life just kind of happened today. Aside from our honeymoon, this was the first day since we've been back that we haven't had to set an alarm to be somewhere. We actually slept in until...wait for it...wait for it...7:30! That's actually pretty late for us. We woke and went to Taqueria Arandas for breakfast. I was disappointed in their chilaquiles but everything else I've had there has been good. We got back home and took a little disco nap before it was time to get ready for church. We haven't been to church in what seems like forever because we've been out of town so much the last few months. So we went and boy did it feel good. It warms my heart to hear Neal singing in church. And today I got to write Neal & Rebecca Ferguson in the sign in book. We came home to make the HEB/Costco grocery list. I love grocery shopping together. I know Neal is smart enough not to send me by myself since he does a lot of the cooking. This is something we've done from the very beginning. Back when we first started dating, I remember telling my school friends how much fun we had going grocery shopping. I think Terry told me "oh no, we're in trouble now!" By the way, Terry told me as soon as he met Neal that he was the one. If I had to choose 1 store to spend all my money in, it would be Costco. I love the randomness of the place. It takes lots of restraint not to buy things just because they're cool. But that place has the coolest things! Seriously. After the shopping trip, it was time to tackle our kitchen which sadly has not had much attention since the wedding. Well its sparkly now. I made some banana bread with a few bananas that were pretty beat up. Neal worked on a project and I finished our thank you notes. Our front room still looks like the wedding exploded in there, but everything will eventually find its home. Right before dark, we walked Mack around the neighborhood. We even got brave and let him off the leash to play around with the neighbor's dog while we visited with them. Although its right off of ghetto Gessner, I love our neighborhood. I love the people. I love that people play with their kids outside. I love that we have big yards with tall trees. I love that all the houses don't look the same. I love that its quiet. We came back to the house and had a gourmet dinner of guacamole with chips for dinner. Today was what life is all about. Doing life with the one you love.
