april 2nd

can you believe it's already the 2nd of april? it's amazing how that happens. this past weekend was a lovely. one of my favorites. saturday we went up to peters parents for the day. it was their birthday so we made them lunch. well, i made them lunch and peter was on clean-up. my mom gave me this awesome chicken salad recipe that was a total winner. i made soup and cupcakes too. riley had a great time in their ginormous backyard. he kept himself really busy with all the smells that needed to be looked into. after lunch we went on a walk in this awesome park down the street from the house. it had rained the night before so some areas were a little muddy. riley was thrilled! especially since that morning he had been given a bath. he was laughing he was so happy to be running in the mud.
saturday night was just as much fun. we went over to my cousins house down the street and my other cousin was in town with her boyfriend. we had a great time and a couple glasses of wine. we ended the night with a burrito. sunday was lazy the first part of the day and then sunday afternoon we met up with my cousin again. this time we met up with her boyfriends family. they were really nice people. we ended our weekend with some bad television and some chinese food. peter flew out the next morning to washington d.c. for work. he's been working on a huge united campaign. they won the the campaign which is exciting but the work has just begun. he loves it though. he would have it no other way. i am going to make him tacos with roasted tomatillo salsa tonight. i haven't made mexican food in awhile. i wonder why? anyways, things have been rolling right along. i feel quite peaceful.
