Finally some downtime with my husband

Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day in DC. It was clear, sunny, and the high was in the lower 80s. And it was an even better since David took the day off work. Actually, it was the first day David has taken completely off work (as well as school work) in months. Ever since he bought out his business partner, he's been going into the office seven days a week. I can't even imagine how he does it. I would go completely crazy if I had to work that much.

In any case, when I asked him what he wanted to do, his response was "absolutely nothing." I knew I loved this guy for a reason! We went out to our new house to check out the wood floors they just installed. Then David decided that since he now owns a driveway, he can wash his car. So we got out the hose and sponges and washed away. Then we walked down to the community lake a couple of block from the new place. We chatted with a few of our new neighbors around the lake, while Jenny (our yellow lab) romped with a Golden Doodle named Sandy along the shoreline. I think may be able to enjoy the 'burb life.

We then came back into the city, walked to pick up Thai food, and spent the rest of the evening watching the new episode of Battlestar Gallactica and an episode of the X-Files on DVD. (We're trying to re-watch the whole series before the new movie this summer). A perfect ending to a perfect day.

I know this may sound like a pretty mundane day, but I see David so little lately that just having a day to do nothing was precious. Sometimes the small things are all you need.
