Keeping Busy

    This morning {at 6} Connor and I woke up to a bang. One of the pictures on our gallery wall going up the stairs fell off the wall and tumbled all the way down! Unfortunately this was the second time it has happened, and the frame broke. I was sleeping so well, I hated to wake up... but when my baby wakes up, I have to also. I gave him a quick bath because he leaked through his diaper and then we went downstairs. I found this sweet little note from my hubby on the counter. He had a C-130 jump in Pisa today, so he was going to be gone until late tonight.

     So what's a girl to do while her husband is gone all day? Pass the time with a little retail therapy. He told me to go, so I did! My friend joined me and our first stop was a second-hand store near my house. They had tons of antiques.

 Old cameras.

 Demijohns.

 Old typewriter, anyone?

 Love this chandelier.

    After we were done there, we headed to the mall so I could try and find some shoes for the military ball in October. We stopped at a Chinese buffet for lunch before we did any shopping, and it.was.awful! The service was horrible, the food was not very good, and there was a sign that I missed the first time I got food saying they can charge you €5-20 for leaving food on your plate! Thank goodness we didn't get charged for what we didn't eat. After that bad experience, we wanted something a little sweet. We walked by McDonald's and they had lots of yummy looking desserts! I decided on strawberry cheesecake and hot chocolate {which ended up being the consistency of warm chocolate pudding...not quite what I was expecting}.

So much to choose from!

 How pretty is that?!?

Feeding my boy!

    After eating, we did a little shopping and I found a pair of shoes for my dress. I was looking for earrings, but didn't have any luck. I'm sure I will find some from now until October.
    Connor and I didn't get home until after 4. We played for a little while and then ate dinner. He was so sleepy from only taking a 30 minute nap that he fell right to sleep at 8, which was perfect because I had a Face Time date at 8 with my best friend from back home.  I was so excited because I got to meet her little girl for the first time! She's 2 1/2 months old and a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e :) We talked for a good 2 hours and caught up on what was going on in each others lives. Next time, we are not letting that much time go between talking!
    Now I'm just waiting for my hubby to get home... I think I'm going to get a little shut eye while Connor is still sleeping. Goodnight!
