A Better Day

Ok I am now over the initial frustrations of the end of the week. I ended up taking a half day off from work and headed home. Deanna is between sessions so she was home(teaches at a year round school). Well we decided to ride to Fayetteville and see how far it was as it turns out airline flights were up to 2000$ cheaper. Turns out only about an hour drive so not to bad. Normally a 30 minute drive for our local airport so this is an option for us.

We ended up going to cross creek mall in Fayetteville and did some shopping. The Disney Store had onsies on sale so we bought a couple for later and some other things. Plus a little infant pair of Converse Chuck Taylor's. I have 3 pair, my favorite shoes to wear so of course my child will have some!

We ended up finding this great little Vietnamese Bistro on Yadkin St. It has been opened about 6 months. I ordered a beef with lemongrass dish and Deanna a grilled pork with veggies. Both were great. I like spicy food so I asked to make it spicy. Man did they! Deanna was laughing at me as I ate the grilled red Thai chillies but I loved every minute of it. We started talking to the couple who owned the lace. They moved here in 77 and just decided to open the place. We told them about our hopefully soon travel and they were excited for us. The said if you like the food here it will be even better when you get to Vietnam. We shared photos of our little girl and they of their new granddaughter(her daddy is a golf pro in Sweden!). They gave us their number and insisted in coming back to see them when we got back. All in all a good afternoon that really cheered me up. Now if we just get that call to get the tickets! Well have a good rest of the weekend.

they had sizes 1-4 at a kids journeyz in the mall in fayettville NC. I would just search where a store is near. I think I saw them in that size on the Official converse website as well. But they are cool aren't they. My wife of course picked out pink ones. That is a color I guess I need to get used to LOL!
