youre gonna miss this

this weekend was simple but wonderful. Saturday morning bj and i woke up early to go to the temple. we were all ready to go but couldnt find his recommend. so instead, we made breakfast together and noticed the weather was too nice to not do something outside. we decided to go on a bike ride together. except we only had one (borrowed) working bike. i rode the bike while bj ran with toby. we let toby play in the fountain in our neighborhood to cool off and bj kept telling me i was torturing him as he ran beside me. after that we ventured off to home depot to get supplies for a project we are doing together.

((we are building this together. more on that later))

we wandered around home depot getting everything we needed for the project. it took longer than we thought and bj was getting grumpy so we sat outside and chatted while he ate a hot dog. we picked up lunch on the way home and went to work on our project. the majority of the day was spent in the garage cutting the wood together and bj teaching me how to use a table saw. around 4 we had most of the wood cut and decided to take a break. we took toby in the car and drove out to one of bjs flip houses. it was perfect weather that night and we sat in the back yard of the flip house with toby trying to decide if the road that ran behind the house was too loud or not. we dropped toby off at home and went to meet some friends for some dinner. after dinner we came home and watched a few episodes of our current favorite show how i met your mother before falling asleep.

we did not do anything extra special or even kinda special this weekend, but it was a good weekend and i want to remember it. as the time gets closer to our little babe making her entrance into our lives, my heart aches a tiny bit that weekends like this, of just us, will be few and far between. 4 years has been perfect for bj and i to get to know each other and find our own little niche. i dont think this takes away from how excited we are to become a family of 3 or to be new parents. it will be a big change and a really, really good change that we couldn't be more thrilled about. but i know in the future when those moments of pre-baby nostalgia come, it will be weekends exactly like this one that i miss. i love bj and i love the "us" that we have become. after the baby comes i hope we remember to make an extra effort to keep go on dates and spend some time with just each other. the end.
