A great weekend, plain and simple

This weekend I experienced a first in 2 years; an entire night, 16 hours in fact, without Wyatt. Byron and Wyatt attended our church's father and son camp out. I was surprised and thrilled that Byron wanted to take on the task of camping with Wyatt for the first time. We had no idea how Wyatt would do, and yet Byron just wanted to spend some time with his son. I knew then that spending time together was an important thing. They had a great time. Wyatt and Byron slept in the back of the truck. When Wyatt woke up, he raised his head and at that moment realized that he actually slept outside all night long. Slowly a huge smile grew on his face and he turned and looked at Byron in amazement.

So what did I do on my very first night of complete freedom, you may ask? Such bliss. Item number one, pedicure! Imagine me sitting in a massaging chair with the rollers positioned right on my shoulder blades, my feet soaking in warm bubbly water as a talented Asian women scrubs, kneads, and smacks (that's right) my feet and calves, and the final blissful treat, dark chocolate and raspberry chocolate truffles only for me, melting slowly in my mouth. After my 45 minutes of utter relaxation, I jetted off to Chili's for a take out order of an ice cold IBC root beer and a Caribbean grilled chicken salad with extra dressing. I then proceeded to plant myself on the couch for dinner and a movie ("Pride," excellent movie, read the post before this). My next final moments consisted of 2 Advil PMs, a bath as hot as I could stand it, and a darkened room. Ah sleep, lovely sleep. I slept in to 8 AM, the garage door opened at 8:15 AM. Welcome home boys!
