thirty five weeks & a mission

April 5th marks 35 weeks... just 5 short weeks ( give or take a few days...) until we meet our beloved little man! 

We have been taking the weekends and purposefully making plans to have no plans because we know that soon a tiny person will control a lot of what we do and when we do it. 

So this Sunday after a great message at church, B decided he would like to 

drive Ortega Canyon, which I had never done. 

It was a perfect day for it! 

Drove. 

Stopped. 

Ate candy.

On our way out of the canyon we saw a horse show taking place... so naturally- we pulled in.

We watched about 3 horses jump and decided ( since our candy was gone) that it was time to go. 

So we drove and while trying to find a gas station I mentioned I had never been 

to The Mission in San Juan. 

B was shocked. Like I had missed out on this great childhood experience. 

So we stopped. 

I gasped at the $9 entrance fee.. threw a tantrum in my head then a sweet old man gave us free tickets. 

Note to self: mental tantrums work. 

We toured all throughout the mission.. fountains... adobes etc. It was great. 

I did want fajitas and tortillas after we left though. 

My little top heavy self trudged around and after a few flights of stairs, 

I decided it was time for a starbucks.

 So we left the mission, walked San Juan.. found new and great places for date nights. 

Picked up a little something at an antique mall and went home.

We are soaking up every moment of "free time" we can get! 

{Although at many times, we caught ourselves saying, "we can't wait to bring E here..."}
