This past weekend started off plain old terrible. I woke up at about 4am feeling super nauseous. Like "is this morning sickness" sort of nauseous. Spoiler Alert: It was not morning sickness, I am not pregnant lol. Throwing up and other sorts of terrible and disgusting body things were happening. There is nothing worse than being sick and having kids. Especially when your husband then wakes up feeling sick and all of the kids' grandparents work so there was literally no one available to help. Dan and I spent the day resting in shifts. I would nap, he would nap, I would nap, he would nap. That was pretty much our entire Friday. I was supposed to be having a joint birthday party with my friend Madelyn Saturday so Friday was supposed to be food prep day. Dan had two pork butts marinating and no way in the world was smoking that going to happen. We ended up having to cancel hosting it and I was so bummed! I love birthdays. I love June. I love day drinks. I love being outside. This party was going to be all of that and more. So really, bummed was an understatement.
I ended up going to sleep right around 8:30, after both girls were asleep for the night and Dan was shortly after.
Fast Forward to Saturday morning and both Dan and I were feeling better but still not quite right. Dan was feeling better than me at that point so he decided to smoke the pork so it didn't go to waste. I told everyone I would try to stop by the party at Chris and Madelyns if I felt up for it and around 4ish I thankfully was. Ava and I trekked over and enjoyed saying hi to everyone and I got spoiled with multiple bottles of wine, a new purse, gift card, beach towel. My friends are the best! I went home and got the girls ready for bed and then ended up going out for an hour to Tellus in downtown Lancaster. I have only been there once and it was so Hipster I could hardly stand it. I gave it a try this time and was so happy I did! They had the rooftop bar open and it was such a beautiful night. It still had a hipster feel to it but it wasn't too intense.
Sunday- We decided to invite people over for my birthday/Fathers day to make sure the pork was eaten and that we did something fun for the weekend. My mom, Mammy, Summer, Iz, Madelyn, Chris and Dave all came over and we ate pork bbq sandwiches, chips, baked mac and cheese. Lots of good stuff. The pork turned out awesome. Dan did a great job.
To my surprise that night, Dan had planned for his dad to come over and sit at the house for a couple of hours so we could go out just the two of us while the girls were sleeping. I was really excited to get out for a little and go on a date just the two of us. We went to the Bvelvedere downtown. The food and drinks were SO delicious. We really loved everything! We sat outside on their swanky little porch that had hanging plants and beautiful lights everywhere and sipped our fancy drinks and ate a late dinner and dessert. Cannot beat their grilled chicken ceasar salad. That is not an entrée to be missed.
Thank you to everyone for the calls, gifts, texts, etc for my birthday. I am so excited for another year of continued health and blessings. Life is so good.
