Weekend Recap

I had one of those weekends where you're just desperate for some relaxation, rest, and quality time with your spouse. 

 

Friday, after working all day and having the work chili cookoff, I went to pick up my car from the shop.  They found taht the shop that replaced my timing belt back in January hit a clip that held on a hose. The hose fell off and caused the huge leaks. So they reconnected and secured the hose and I was only charged for an hour of labor.... $105. At this point, I just laughed.  I couldn't help it.  So much money has been poured into this car to find that a hose is disconnected.  If I didn't laugh, I would have cried. But, my chili was great, my car was fixed, and my husband was home.  Successful Friday, if I say so.

 

 

Saturday was a busy day for us.  I woke up and made Jackson a "welcome home" breakfast - his favorite: fried bologna and eggs.  :) Then we went to First Tenenssee to try to join our bank accounts.  We sat there for literally 55 minutes and there was still someone in front of us waiting to be helped.  So we said forget it and went to his parents' house because his grandmother was going to be there. On our way, we made a detour to grab lunch from the Grilled Cheeserie. Soooo gooood.

 

On the way home from his parents' house, we stopped at Opry Mills to hit Vicky's 7/$26 (um hello Vicky, what were you thinking running this sale on Spring Break? I had to fight off a million high schoolers!).  Jackson found a really cool pair of sneakers on sale! While we were at Opry Mills, we stopped by a kiosk that was selling wooden decor with Bible sayings on it.  One of them really spoke to me, so I put it on our chalkboard wall when we got home. :)

Sunday, we went to church (where everyone got the denim jacket memo) and then had lunch at Las Maracas with some of our great friends.

(couldn't help a photo-op with two of my favorites!) We then helped out with my best friend's pre-marital counseling.  We were able to give her advice from the newlywed standpoint.  We shared with them just how different it is and how hard it really is to learn and mesh with this person you thought you knew so well.  While they were still in their session, before we came to help, we were on Puppy Patrol for our Minister's dog, Ruby Jane.

 

After their pre-marital counseling, we had a fire-pit and roasted hotdogs.  It was a chilly night, but I love hanging around the fire with my husband and our best friends. 

 

Needless to say, I'm not very glad it's Monday.
