Labor Day weekend!

T

David and I have had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. The first couple of days consisted of much-needed resting and quality time. David ended up not working Friday night so we made some delicious raman noodles for dinner.
We went on our first date night here in Chicago on Saturday. We went to Portillos! Both of us had a cheeseburger and some fries. It was yummy :) The place was really neat inside, I wish I had taken pictures of it, but it was like you were in an alley in italy. There were clothes hanging on lines above us, some old man on a rocking chair in the corner, and an upstairs dining area that looked really cool, but we couldn't see it because there was a party up there. On our way back we met David's friend Matt and his girlfriend, Hayley, and we walked the way back to Moody with them and talked. They more-or-less invited themselves over for games the next night, and we accepted because we know how it feels to be dating and not have anywhere productive to hang out at night ;). 
Sunday we went out walking and went to survey the beach. It's really beautiful out there, and reminds me of - and makes me miss- Washington and it's ocean. That night Hayley and Matt came over. David and I made some super scrumptious popcorn with our handy-dandy popcorn maker! :) I think they were impressed. We played Moods, a real come-out-of-your-shell-type-game, and it was hilarious! It's the game where you pick a phrase like "Are those real handcuffs?" and then a mood, like 'crazed' and you have to say the phrase in that mood and the other players have to guess the mood based on choices that are in front of them. So as you can imagine, it was quite fun. We then watched the movie The Proposal. 

Monday was homework day for David. 
he read. and read. and read! He read for four or five hours straight that day. I was proud of him :) 

He's STILL reading!!!

our surprise faces :)

Then when he was finally done reading, we went to the beach! We were very surprised with how late it had got by the time we made it out of our room that night! So then we ventured to the sandy paradise and had a 'vonderful goot time' :) here are some photos :

It got late so we decided we'd better head home and make dinner (it was like 9:30 mind you). So I made tacos, David's favorite! and the pictures speak for themselves ;)












So that was the end of our splendid Labor Day weekend! Hope you enjoyed this, expect more to come!

Love you family!
David and Audrey
