great day!-ish

Today I went with V to Culpepper VA to visit his mom. It was a really great day. The weather was beautiful, cool and crisp without any biting wind, the way a fall day should be. We had a slow start which led to a nice, relaxing Saturday morning with enough time to take the kids to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast and get a doppio machiatto from Starubux before their dad picked them up and V picked me up. It takes 2.5 hrs to get there, a ride that V dreads but I don't mind at all, because the ride is a BMW, the scenery is the rolling hills and treelined roads with the blue ridge mountains as the backdrop, and the company is top notch. :)

Once there we had a delicious lunch of mostly vegetarian fare, delicious sweet potatoes, asparagus, cabbage, acorn squash, everything fresh and delicious, watched his little brother's football game, had some nasty fried dough and french fries, big mistake! V played football with his little brother in the yard and I made a necklace with his mom which everyone said came out beautifully! I got to pick a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch and got 3 bags full of farm-fresh fruits. It was kind of like a field trip. We finished off with some thai food for dinner and an 80 mph ride home. Who'd-a-thunk that spending the day with your inlaws could be fun! :P

Once we got back we had a fight, so that sucked, but when we fight we don't scream and yell or say hurtful things, we just talk things out and discuss our thoughts and feelings and explain why we are upset and try to understand why the other person is upset. Its really the best thing ever, as wierd as that is to say about fighting! It just reinforces how much I love him and think he is the best person in the whole wide world.
