Life is tough.

Lucy was punished this morning for knocking her ball under our dresser and then scratching the furniture repeatedly to try and retrieve it. Punishment meant putting her ball away for 15 minutes. She was mopey but waited patiently by the dresser for her punishment time to end.

Oh how I love the weekend

The first few weeks of the year have been long and challenging because of work schedules, but long weeks give you a greater appreciation for weekend time to play and rest. Last weekend, Matt brought me to Lockhart to try one of his new favorite restaurants, Kreuz Market.

Not only is the bbq delicious, but Kreuz's gives you a unique dining experience that seems to make the food taste that much better. You order your meat in the "pit room" which is the room where they actually smoke the meat. You then carry your meat wrapped inside a large piece of paper (which will also serve as your plate) into a separate room to order your sides and drinks.

The most suprising thing you need to be prepared for is you do not eat with silverware. You eat with your hands.

It was a fantastic little adventure and a great way to spend our afternoon together. This weekend we watched a lot of movies and rested to regain our energy. Our lives finally go back to normal this week. We look forward to what normalcy will bring!

Have a great one!
