Let’s Play Cards | The House of Huff

Saturday morning we woke up early, got ready and headed to get our baby girl!  After a mere 28 hours without her, Dave and I were craving some Mia time!  I was so happy to see her and kiss on her.  When you get to stay at home as much as I do, you take the time together (at least for me) for granted.  After being away from her for a while, I realized just how much I love our time together!  Yes, Dave and I did need a date night, AND I LOVED IT, but I was terribly happy to be home to my girlfriend!

We came home and all played together and snuggled up on the couch together and then had some dinner.  Later Saturday night, we got a visit from Meme and Poppy!!  Mia gets so excited to see them, that she starts acting like a maniac, running around like a dog chasing it’s tail! HA!


Meme and her best girl!

My hand at one point. Are you kidding me??!

Sunday we woke up, went to church and then out to eat lunch with Nana and Papaw.  Mia is so loved and so spoiled! We are blessed to have parents who love our girl ALMOST as much as we do ;)


Mia ready to go to “chuch”


After I put her in her car seat, she grabbed my face and said “momma, kisses and hugs!”  Melt my heart!


My BFF!

Sunday night, Mia went to hang out with Meme and Poppy (again, thank you soo much) so daddy and I could go to the movies with our Sunday ABF group.  We went to see “Act of Valor” and it?  Was INTENSE!  Such a great movie of courage, bravery and selflessness.  I always ALWAYS am thankful for our men and women who protect us and serve our country every day, but this movie just makes you realized just HOW MUCH they actually DO and sacrifice for YOU!  Not only them, but their families as well.  I couldn’t even begin to imagine my husband leaving for an unknown amount of time to a foreign country, not knowing if I would ever see him again. So, THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart.  You are truly appreciated!

We had such an action packed, fun weekend!!

Much needed Date Night | The House of Huff

Last Friday the hubs and I went out for a much needed date day/night.  We absorbed every single minute.  It started at 5 am.  Yes, FIVE. In the morning.

We headed out to Columbus Ohio for the "Arnold Classic," which is a body building show that Dave has went to every year for the past seven PLUS years.  He absolutely loves it because he gets to meet top fitness gurus and some UFC fighters.  Back when he first started going he actually go to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Before I had Mia, I actually enjoyed going as well because I was like a size ZERO with no fat.  Not so much anymore :)

That's totally OK, I will take my post baby body any day, over having a nice body with NO baby! HA!

I figured I would "take one for the team" and go with him this year.  PLUS?  The outlet Mall isn't far from there ;)

We hit the road at 6:30, stopped and had breakfast and got to the Columbus Convention Center are 9:40am.  We walked around, met some cool people, got free shirts, supplements, etc. and had lunch before we left.

On our road trip!

Dave (halfway through a blink!) and Randy Couture

Momma and Cookie Monster (for my girl!)

Dave and Rich Froning (Crossfit Champ)

We hit up the outlet mall after we left and I found some great deals!  Of course, all for Mia.  Gap kids and Old Navy had some really good prices.  The skinny Gap Capri's?  I die.  Cutest things ever! 

After all the days festivities, we worked up and appetite and Dave wanted to eat somewhere that we had never been.  We came across this local steakhouse called "Lone Star."  It was a mix between Texas Roadhouse and Outback.  We got so much food for such a good price.  

Thanks hubby for the wonderful day/night :)

On our way home, we were making such good timing that we decided we would stop and watch a movie to complete our date night.  However, a few minutes later, this....

Complete bumper to bumper traffic.  STOPPED.  For miles ahead of us.  We sat in the line for about an hour before I had to go the restroom.  I mean I had like almost 3 glasses of water at the restaurant!  

Dave pulled over to the emergency lane and drove down to the first exit.  There we were told by locals that a semi had over turned and was blocking both lanes and had already been there for 2.5 hours.  He gave us some directions for the back roads and we made it home by only an hour later than we had planned.  Nonetheless, we didn't see a movie, but still had a very successful date night!

Thank you so much to Meme and Noona for making date night possible!!
