Weekending

Happy Tuesday, friends! But how is it only Tuesday?

I can't wait to go home tonight and do NOTHING. The last two weeks I've had something to do every single day after work and it's been kind of exhausting. I'm excited to have a few days this week to relax in the evenings. 

This weekend was a whirlwind but a really good one. Sammy's off days fall on the weekend for the entire month of March and few days in April (and then they won't fall that way again until June) and I've forgotten how good it is to share the weekends together. I saw him Friday through Sunday this weekend and by the end I was like that was so weird, seeing him for three days in a row! But it was so good. 

We spent Friday night with his family visiting his aunt who recently had surgery. We ended up having to take his grandfather to the ER unexpectedly, but thankfully, he's OK and was able to go home the same night. I got to spend all the time in the waiting room with Sammy's cousins who are some of my very favorite people on earth, so despite it not being a great locale... the evening ended positively which is great.

On Saturday Sammy and I met my Dad in Crystal Lake to see two houses we've been lusting over. The experience was a roller coaster of emotions haha. Going into it, there was one house that was clearly Sammy's pick and then the second house we saw was mine. I've been looking at the photographs of my pick since before Thanksgiving, so I was fully expecting to love it and was shocked to find that we eliminated it almost immediately after leaving. We ended up loving Sammy's pick (I swear to God that guy does everything right) and decided we'd bring the rest of our parents back to look at it again this coming weekend, along with another house Sammy wants to see. 

In a super disappointing turn of events, the listing agent texted my Dad last night and told him it's under contract *insert sobbing emoji* I keep telling myself that it obviously wasn't meant to be and we'll find our house eventually (luckily we're in no rush) but I can't help but feel like it was our house. We'll keep our eye on it to see if the deal falls through, but now we know these houses move fast, so the next time we like something we better jump.

Anyway, we came back to my house and told my mom all about both houses, and then we ordered Lou Malnati's for dinner and watched Lockup for the rest of the night because I'm obsessed ;)

On Sunday we went to Sammy's cousins' confirmation and then to Zia's Trattoria in Edison Park afterward for a lovely dinner.

I can't believe we're basically halfway through March... what is happening?!

We have some plans St. Patrick's Day plans (despite my hesitation toward the holiday in general ;) ) for this coming weekend and maybe some more house visits, so I'm anxious to get through the bulk of this week!

Hope everyone had wonderful weekends!
