Life in Lancaster County

Ah...we're having such a good time but the week is flying by way too fast! Not a day goes by when we don't have a heart to heart conversation or we find ourselves bending over laughing so hard it hurts. We have found ourselves playing games each day too...little things like favorite this or that or what we're thankful for and/or proud of in life. We always strive to pull out the best in the other.
As far as what we've done the past day or so. Tuesday we went to Valentino's for breakfast, sat around the house and talked for a bit, walked downtown to see Mrs. Armstrong and then walked around market, and then came home, made brownies and took them over to my parents house for dinner. Mattias had the chance to play the piano a bit and see my sisters again. We all shared a few laughs as always and then later that evening Mattias, Matt and I watched August Rush. Great movie!

Yesterday, I had an appointment in the morning so, I dropped Mattias off at the mall until I was done. After that we went into Lititz and walked around...visiting Wilbur Chocolate Factory, Cafe Chocolate and walking around the quaint shops. Later, we stopped by Cherry Hill Orchards for a fresh peach (so yummy) and then picked some apples (I think we'll make an apple pie today). After being out in the sun for a while, we decided to go somewhere a little more shaded, so we stopped by Susquehannock Park. Great times! Mattias and I had a great talk, as always. Somehow we can talk to each other in different ways that we talk to most people. We always have great conversations with each other! We have so much to learn from the other. As we walked back to the car, I found this great big hill and said "hmm...looks like a nice hill to roll down." He said "what are you thinking?" And of course, I ran over, layed down, and rolled down the hill. He did the same. We laughed until we cried and had grass stains all over us. I felt like a kid again and loved every second of it. After that, I decided to teach him a few other games and again, we fell over laughing (quite literally). On the way home, we stopped by and picked up a case of beer and some corn on the cob and then grilled some of the leftovers from Friday night. Trevor came over too. It was a nice layed back evening.
By the way, I have to mention...I'm so proud of my hubby...he rode 34 miles on the bike yesterday! Go Matt!
