Busy Weekend

Wow, we had a busy weekend! It was full of family time, shopping, dinner and drinks with friends and just enjoying each other!

Friday night I went out to my parents house for family night. Stephen was working until 8 so he didn't come. Mom, Dad, Aaron and I went to the grill for Friday night dinner. We had such a great time eating and talking to each other. I really enjoyed our family time and miss my family of 4 spending time together. I love my husband dearly and love the addition he brings to our family, but it is also important for us each to spend time with our families without each other. So, back to family night. After dinner we went back to Mom and Dad's house and played two games, Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader? and Sequence. Aaron and I tied in Are you Smarter than a Fitfth Grader?, but I won the tie breaker question! YAY! Then we played Sequence with two teams, Mom and Aaron and Dad and me. Mom and Aaron won. It was such a great night and I can't wait for family night next month.

Saturday morning I met Mom and Roslyn at a model home furniture sale close to our house. I got there about 10:15 and Mom and Roslyn had already been shopping for an hour. After looking around a while, I decided on a dresser, two lamps and a few accessories. Then I realized I brought my car. So I went to the dealership and got Stephen's truck and headed back. When I got back I shopped some more and decided to get another dresser and a few pictures for the game room and master bathroom. I also got an amazing mirror. It is huge and I am so excited to hang it in our dining room. Rosyln got me a desk that matched a dresser while I was gone. I am going to refinish the dressers and desk and likely some of the accessories. Everything I got was only $400. I am so excited! It is all such great quality and will be great pieces in our home.

We loaded up Mom's expedition and my truck and made a load to our house. Roslyn bought a ton of stuff including a couch, two chairs, a full bed with mattress, headboard and foot board, two end tables and a bunch of accessories. Once Mom and I got back we loaded up the rest of the stuff and went to Roslyn's house. Dad met us there and we unloaded the cars. We then headed back to our house to load up the rest of the stuff. Once at our house we loaded everything up and Mom, Dad and Roslyn took everything to her house. I had to get ready for a night out with Stephen, Daniel and April so I hopped in the shower.

I met Stephen, Daniel and April at the dealership and we went to dinner. We decided on Gringos and had a great time together. Our service was horrible, but we had fun together. After dinner we headed over to Sam's Boat. We had a blast just sitting and talking over drinks. I have never spent much time with April so I didn't know her that well before tonight, but we had a blast together sharing stories and just hanging out. We left at 2 am and headed home. It was a great night.

Sunday morning we slept in and then woke up and hung around the house for a while. Stephen went and got a haircut and then we went and met my parents for Lunner (Lunch plus Dinner) at BJ's in Sugarland so we could get the truck back from them. We had a great Lunner with them. Stephen and I then went to the grocery store and back home. We watched the Grammy's and I worked some.

It was such a great weekend and the other than being very windy, the weather was great!
