Weekend Highlights

This past weekend we were planning to go to the temple. We live four hours from ours and it has been a long time since we have been together. We had everything planned, a babysitter set up, directions printed, etc. The night before, we were laying in bed and Tony popped up remembering we never had our recommends renewed!!! How could we forget that?! So our plans to go to the temple were a bust, but hopefully we'll be able to go in the next month. Such a bummer, but we still had a good weekend!
We decided to go to the library for story time with Jesse. Jesse is a therapy dog and comes to the library every second Saturday. What a beautiful dog! She is a pure lab but only weighs 60 lbs and is quite short for her breed. She comes with her owner to the children section of the library. The owner reads stories and afterward takes Jesse to each child and lets them pet her. Since we don't have dogs, we thought this would be a good experience for Charlie--especially since Jesse is trained to be around kids.
It was so cute!
Charlie absolutely loved it!

After the library, we did a little shopping and then decided to be adventurous and try a new restaurant. We've been driving past a sign for Greek & Mediterranean food for quite some time. I love, love, love Greek flavors, but the building looked a little sketchy so I've been hesitant to go in. We finally gave it a chance and I'm so glad we did! It's a family owned restaurant and is AWESOME! It kind of reminded us of My Big Fat, Greek Wedding :)We ordered warm pitas and tzatziki sauce for an appetizer. I had a gyro and Tony ordered a dish with rice, meat and grilled vegetables. So good! I was in heaven.

It was overall a good weekend. I'm sad we missed our chance to go to the temple, but am excited to go soon. If you are lucky to live by one, take the chance to go!
