Isn’t Brady a fabulous blogger? While I was wracking my brain over what I could pre-write and post on the day I was away with Jerilee, he offered to write for me! I took him up on it, obviously! Win for everyone.
Jerilee had a birthday plan in mind for me, and it took until now to actually make it happen, since we were waiting for Brady to have a day off. Yesterday was the day! She drove to pick me up in the morning, where I said goodbye to my family, grabbed my little backpack, and didn’t look back. I kind of really needed the day away.
We listened to good music, drank coffee, and chatted the time away. It wasn’t long before we arrived in Regina. We drove all the way there solely for Pizza Hut buffet! Yes, a few locations still exist that serve a buffet for lunch. We proceeded to eat our body weight in pizza and breadsticks. We both grabbed a bit of salad, but who were we kidding? Pizza pizza pizza. Pizza Hut always wins!
Who doesn’t want to eat far too much pizza and follow it up by putting a bathing suit? We did!! ✋✋
We backtracked to Moose Jaw and headed to the spa. I had never been there before, and was so ready to soak my worries away in a nice warm mineral spa.
I should have pictures or more stories. We chatted goals and reflection and what the next year could/should hold. Work, school, family, friends, etc. We covered a lot of basics, but we literally bobbed around the pool for four hours. It. Was. Awesome. We waited until we were solidly pruny and somewhat dehydrated before finally calling it quits.
THANK YOU JERILEE FOR THIS LATE ADDITION OF PICTURES!!!
Don’t we look great?
We were both solidly loopy trying to get out of the pool, haha! Slow moving, a bit light on our feet, etc. But we made it to the change rooms and got our bearings back. We meandered our way out to the car and checked the time. It was supper time. Based on the fact that we ate SO MUCH lunch, and the lazy afternoon spent in the pool, neither of us were even a shred hungry. We opted for slurpees and made our way back home. We tried to stop and eat some supper partway through but neither of us were hungry at all, so we skipped it.
We were way quieter on the drive home. Just sleepy and content and squishy. It had been SUCH a nice day away, and I wasn’t entirely ready to go home at the end of the day. Not quite ready for reality again. But Brady greeted me with a baby girl who hadn’t slept longer than 45 minutes at a time for the whole day. She felt SO good in my arms, and once with me, she settled so beautifully. I’m flattering myself, but I’m choosing to believe she missed me. I missed her, too! But the break was good 😉
WHAT a great day! I felt loved and celebrated and appreciated, and that day, being 30 didn’t feel as rough. Let’s hold on to that feeling!
