Jawbreakers and Gatorade

There's nothing like Jawbreakers and Gatorade!

Yesterday was a great day! I'm in the middle of my week on at work, and Nick overslept, so he decided not to work at the bindery yesterday. Great choice, I say! It's such a long ride down on the bus, and the actual work he does is not fun. So, he stayed home and cleaned- deep cleaned- the house! He's awesome! Then he made us a crock pot dinner and it was ready right when i walked in the door. It was so sweet and the dinner tasted great! AND he even made some homemade dessert. He made my grandma's recipe named "Tom Thumb Bars". They came out just as I have always remembered them.

Since Nick had been stuck inside without a car, we decided we needed to get out. We went to our new favorite park which I have described in a previous post, and decided to walk around the path there. It is such a neat place. The path is dirt, and it makes you feel like you're walking through a forest even though you're in the middle of town. It started sprinkling outside, and it felt great. We finished our walk and found a little pond. Nick walked down by the bank and started skipping rocks. I have never been able to do that, but he taught me and I successfully skipped four or five!!! Then we both decided we could each get something we want for under $3. It's strange, I know, but I wanted a jawbreaker. I haven't had one of these sugary things since I was a kid. Nick wanted to get the new Michael Jordan Gatorade.

We found my jawbreaker at the mall, and I felt like such a little kid going into that candy store, but it was fun! Then off we went to find that gatorade. First, we checked Harmons. No Luck. Then we went to the 7-11. Strike two. Then we went to Smiths. Nick's eyes lit up when he found all THREE new flavors! So we got one of each and headed home. We enjoyed our treats together and fell asleep.

It's so silly, the things that make me so happy, but I'm looking back on last night, and I absolutely loved it! I didn't bring my camera to take pictures or anything, but this man makes my world go 'round! I love the memories that we have together. Even if it's nothing more than jawbreakers and gatorade.
