Weekending: The Happiest
28 Jan 2013
Eric and I had so much fun this weekend. We went to dinner and a movie, we did some work together, we caught up with family. We went to the library and showed our books off to each other like true nerds, we accidentally took a two-hour nap (the best). We put some boxes in storage and Eric helped me epoxy the straps of my purse back together (true love). Of all the things we did, though, it’s the little ones that I want to remember. How great it was to click away at our keyboards in the same room. The smiles we shared over the Sunday paper. The impromptu dance we had when one of our favorite songs came up on the iPod. Nothing happened that made this weekend one for the books–no big trips or events, no exciting new purchases or plans. And yet this weekend is exactly what I think of when I think of happiness. After the work week, it is such a treat to spend several whole days with Eric. He just makes me the happiest, the happiest.

Yes, weekending is just the funnest! For me, weekending is being able to have the feeling of being “off work”, free of responsibilities and set in stone plans. I’m glad to know you both had such a special weekend, just being at home. They’re the best!

I totally agree! There’s nothing better than having no plans at all!

That sounds exactly the kind of weekend I like. What I look forward to most of all is being able to just spend time with my sweetie, and we too sit in the same room, laptops clicking away.

Sounds perfect. people often mistake grand gestures with love.. but it’s in the little things, saving the last bite, being content in silence, the shared smiles.. that’s where love really lies.
