On my birthday, Stephen surprised me and had a whole day planned for just he and I (and Lydia of course since she is still nursing). He had asked Sarah and Josh to come over and be with the kids while we went out. They got here a little after 10:00 am and we left shortly thereafter. The kids were excited to get to spend some time with Uncle Josh and Aunt Tunka. He had a wrist corsage for me to wear all day. We headed toward the Bryan area, but stopped off in Navasota to look around at some of the antique shops. I had always wanted to look around in the stores there, and Stephen wanted to be able to take me. We put Lydia in the stroller and enjoyed going in and out of several stores there. We found a few treasures to decorate with in our kitchen. I cant wait to hang them up! Then we headed to Fudruckers in College Station to eat for lunch. We both enjoyed some big old juicy burgers with fries! We went to Producers Coop in Bryan and bought 50 posts for the alley way paddock divisions we are in the process of putting in. We were so excited to get such good posts for a very reasonable price. Then we started driving and taking one back road after another and ended up about 3 hours away from home and it was starting to get dark. We called to check in with Sarah and Josh and asked if we had time to go out to eat before coming home. They were so sweet to say sure. We ended up at a Mexican food restaurant in Conroe and to make a long story short, we locked the keys in the truck. Thankfully we had everything out that we needed. Stephen called Josh back and asked if they could bring our extra set of keys from home and bring them to us on their way home. Mo and PawPaw were sweet to keep the kids for a little while. Meanwhile, Stephen and I enjoyed a delicious dinner! We had plenty of time to sit and visit. Stephen gave me a beautiful necklace and earring set. It is from James Avery and it is a beautiful rose bud design. I am so excited! It is just beautiful! After we got the keys, we headed home to get the rest of the Herd.
