Quality Time

Boy oh boy is it nice having Eric to myself 24/7. After the dogs all got picked up on Friday (and we said our weepy goodbyes!) we spent the rest of the weekend relaxing, eating and enjoying the weather.

Friday-Eric made the world's most incredible burgers ever, seriously. He had watched the Ultimate Burger Challenge on TV, became very inspired, and definitely impressed me with the final result. I made some sauteed mushrooms and onions for the top but really owe the credit for dinner fully to him.

Saturday-After Eric dragged me to the gym, we came home for the afternoon, then did a little window shopping in Weiden while we were waiting for Liu to open for dinner. Liu is a Mongolian restaurant there that we absolutely love. Eric had ostrich and all sorts of crazy seafood, I didn't get much braver than sushi.

Sunday-We almost splurged on a flat-screen TV, but both talked each other out of it. Instead we bought a new vacuum which was much cheaper and more necessary. We came home for dinner then decided to catch a movie on post. The only one playing was the new Nicholas Spark's drama starring Miley Cyrus-whom we both hate-but ended up seeing it anyways just to make fun of her the whole time. Was a good laugh.

Monday-It wasn't quite as sunny as we both had hoped, but after physical therapy/gym, we got cleaned up, picked up some Gelato and headed to the lakes here for an afternoon walk. It ended up being really nice to get some fresh air and stretch our legs.

It was a quiet and long weekend but definitely some much-needed respite after Eric's long time from home. We were both appreciative of the opportunity to catch up with each other, and catch up on sleep. So so nice.

Here are some photos from our stroll around the lakes yesterday. The whole area is so peaceful and beautiful, and also some sort of bird sanctuary, which made for a great afternoon. Eric was really hoping that a wild boar would appear from the woods but all in all it was a successful adventure.
