Sensational Sunday

What a great Sunday we had yesterday. I was lucky enough to have it off (a rarity) because of a co-worker leaving on vacation later this week.

Chris is currently on his first day at his new job so yesterday we went shopping to pick him up a couple pairs of khakis. Work dress is business casual for his training and his current pair of khakis was well-worn.

Before shopping we stopped by our friend's house to meet her new cat - Sprinkles. We walked to the new Mexican bakery just behind her house and got some yummy treats to enjoy with coffee and ended up staying a little longer to watch a movie and hang out.

Then it was on to brave the CROWDED mall (when you see that many people shopping and buying stuff, it's hard to believe there's a recession going on). We were successful at finding some khakis on sale at Macy's and used up most all of our leftover wedding gift card - finally! What have we been waiting for?

After shopping, it was on to a nice dinner at the Olive Garden (courtesy of my parents $25 gift card to us for Valentine's Day) Yummy! We even had dessert - zeppoli - Italian doughnuts served with chocolate sauce. The waitress also threw in a raspberry sauce that I thought was even better then the chocolate!

It really was a great day and I'm so thankful I got to spend it with Chris before his first day off work! Now there is going to be some adjusting to do as we see what Chris' new schedule will be like and how much time we will get together.
