on the eve of yet another holiday

Its Buddha's Birthday... Happy birthday to him. I get the day off!!! :) Most elementary schools gave their kids Monday off too, but unfortunately our school didn't. That's ok, I can't be greedy. I'm just happy I get Tuesday off. So, what to do on the eve of a holiday? Well for starters, we spent an hour in the gym. After showering and getting slightly presentable, we went to a new favorite little spot close to our house. This place just opened and it is so cute and the prices are ridiculously cheap and the food is fantastic! Its called "Bistro Slow".

The decor is rustic but classic and chic. It's so cute! 

The artwork on the walls is amazing and all hand painted

Then it was off to a new coffee shop that we had spied last week: "Coffee Mama" 

Again, the artwork on the walls was all hand painted... 

Recently, I was with a group of women and some of the married women made jokes about "wait... don't do it!", "Hold on to your independence for as long as possible!" While I enjoyed my single life immensely, I can't imagine my life without Robert. Sure, we have those times where we give each other the "look" that translates: "I am not too happy with you right now!" but I have not once, wished I was not married to him. I tell every single girl I can, "do it! find that someone and get married! It's the best thing you will ever do!" I get to spend every day with my best friend... it doesn't get much better than that. 

It's a hard life.... but someone has to do it. 

In other news... We finally bought a coffee grinder! But wait until you see it! The thing is, this was the only one at the store! It wasn't even like I chose this one deliberately, but I definitely would have!

So we bought some Kona Hawaiian and some Blue Mountain Hazelnut coffee. No more of that Folgers in a French Press! :) And there you have it, my "at home" coffee experience just got better. Stay tuned friends. Love you!
