Weekend Wrap-Up

So this was actually Thursday morning after I went to the orthodontist and had my attachments removed from wearing Invisalign.  It's a bad picture but I was so excited to have them off!!

Friday

I worked at the restaurant all day then went to try to find something to wear to a party I have on Saturday night.  I did find a dress but wasn't set on it.  I then went to Niki's to put out all my garage sale stuff for tomorrow.  I met T at his house and we were going to go out to dinner but it was late and we weren't really hungry because we both ate lunch late.  We ended up going to hang out with my friend Jessica and her boyfriend Ben.  We stayed way to late and were both exhausted when we got home. 

Saturday

I got up and headed to get donuts before going to the garage sale.  It was the city wide yard sale and we had so many people come through.  We all sold a lot and made good money.  T & I had plans to take the boat out later that day so I was going to pack my stuff up a little early and go to his house.  He texted me about 9:30 and said he was going to play some golf and for me not to rush to get back to his house.  We both got there about the same time and changed to go out on the boat.  I was so excited and so was he!!

I sent this picture to my mom....she was a tad bit jealous I think! HA!!

(Hi Mom)

We were out there for just a few hours and it was so fun.  I am looking forward to many, many more weekends out there!  We went back to his house to get ready for a surprise party for my friend Deana.

Oh, and the big reveal of T...... 

All I wanted was a decent picture of the 2 of us and this is what I got.  He said he would take another one. 

This is what I got the second time, bless his heart, he's still smiling! 

The third and final time and I'm ok with it.  I wasn't going to make him stand up and pose in front of a bunch of people he doesn't know!  HA!! 

Brooke & Josey

So after that party, we went to our friend Eddy's house.  It was Eddy & Charleen's wedding that we met at.  They had a cookout/meet and greet since Runge and I both have started seeing someone!  We didn't stay long because we were both so tired from getting up early and running around all day long.

Sunday

I slept great!!  We went to eat breakfast at a little cafe up town and then came back to get ready to go out on the boat again today. 

I posted this on Instagram and my sisters were wanting to know when they could come with us!  It was an even better day on the lake today.  We went to a cove and hung out for a little bit and sat on the back of the boat and put our feet in.  It ended up being really hot and the water was cold at first but we warmed up to it pretty quickly.  We used sunscreen but still got a little bit of sun. 

I was on call for work that night so we had to come off the water by 5 so I could go home and get ready just in case I got called in later.  I stopped at Redbox and got a movie, Jack Reacher with Tom Cruise, and brought it back over to his house.  We ate dinner then put the movie in and he was out before 9:00.  I watched the whole movie and it was actually pretty good.  I am so looking forward to Memorial Day weekend this weekend!!!  My niece is graduating 8th grade, I can't believe she is that old!!  

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
I got up way to early so I could be at the restaurant at 4:30 am to open!  It was a good day but I was so tired!  I left there at about 1:15 then made the drive to Evansville to spend the weekend there.  I was so tired driving and T totally saved the day when he called and talked to me for a long time so I could stay awake.  I made it home and took a little nap then ate dinner with my parents.  I then went to visit with some friends.  I, of course, had to stop by Lic's Ice Cream and get some choco-creams to take with me.  Danielle had stopped and gotten some too!  We played Phase10!  Have you all played that??  It is so fun!!  We called it a night and I headed home to try to catch up on Grey's Anatomy and then crashed!

Saturday
I was up pretty early and waited for Lindsay to get there so we could go run.  Well, she ran more than I did but I tried to keep up with her till the end when I skipped a road or two.  We then did some upper body then lower body and stretched.  Our neighbor came out and asked if she could join us and reap the benefits through osmosis!  She was too sweet!  We got ready then headed to the mall to do some shopping.  We found some really cute stuff and stopped to get Starbucks while they were still having their half off frappucino happy hour!!  We finally made it back to the house so we could all hang out and eat some great food off the grill.  We ended up watching Safe Haven and it was so good.

Sunday
Lindsay and I got up at about 6:30 so we could meet Michelle at the gym and workout.  Wish we could do that everyday together.  We came home and got ready then went out to Grandma and Grandpa's to celebrate Mother's Day. 

Michelle, Me, Maddie, Lindsay, Mom, Nate & Katie, Kelsey

We ate way too much then went upstairs and took a little nap.  That getting up early and working out totally meant we needed a nap!  We all came back home and packed up to get back to our other homes.  It was a good weekend and I can't wait to be back to celebrate Maddie graduating from 8th grade here soon.  Once I got home, I unpacked and started on laundry.  T & I had plans to hang out so once he got home I headed over there.  It was such a fun weekend and I'm so looking forward to this one also!!

I'm totally slacking on blogging, I know but life is busy right now and I'm living it up and can't wait for a fabulous summer!!  I still plan on keeping it up because it is my scrapbook!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
I got up way early so I could be at the restaurant at 5am to open.  I had gotten a spray tan the night before and didn't want to take a shower yet because it hadn't been done for 12 hours yet.  I did go ahead and wash my face before I put makeup on but it didn't really help, my face got darker and darker as the day went on.  All the old men kept asking me if I had gone to Jamaica or the Bahamas and I kept having to tell them it was a spray tan....they then said oh....they had no idea what I was talking about!!  HA!!  It was actually pretty funny but I was tired of answering the question by the end of the day.  I came home and showered and felt a million times better.  I ran to Target to get some things and was so happy to remember it was half price frappuccino hours from 3-5 and I was just in time!!  I got the new caramel crunch and it was so good!!! 

I then went to Maurices to look around and I'm so glad I did, they had a sweater on clearance that I had been wanting but never could find and also some shoes that I wanted but they were sold out of.  I'm guessing someone returned the shoes because they were the only ones and in my size!!  It was a good shopping day!!  I came home and got ready to go to dinner with a guy I'm dating-we'll call him T.  We went to Fujiyama, his choice and I was so glad that's where he picked.  He had told me about how he didn't like sushi.  I told him he probably just hadn't had the right one, I ordered my favorite and he loved it!!  Loved it so much, he ate more of it than I did!!!  Success!!  We ate dinner and then hung out at my house and just watched a movie.  He left after the movie and then I went to bed because I had to be up early for work the next morning.
Saturday
I worked form 6-2 then went to Goreville for a birthday party.  It was not raining but still cold and it was at the park.  He had so much fun with his friends and it was such good cake!!  I stayed to help clean up and load up the cars then headed back home to take a shower so I could go to T's house.  He was cooking dinner!!
Sunday
I got up early and then ended up taking a long nap on the couch.  I wanted to run to the mall to look at some jeans and bathing suits but slept too long.  I talked to T and he needed to run to get a birthday present for his nephew so we ran to town to do that and then went to BWW to eat dinner.  We came back to his house to hang out. 

I posted this picture on Instagram and the questions immediately started....I haven't answered any yet but did get a text from my mom about how I needed to fill my sister in!!  It was a great weekend!!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

My 4 year Blogiversary!!!
(Actually it was yesterday, but I didn't get this written in time to post before work)

Friday
I worked at the restaurant all day, ran a few errands after work then came home to pack for the weekend.  I headed down to Niki's to hang out with her.  We went to the school for PTA's bingo night.  I won several times, it was a lot of fun.  We came back to her house and finished getting our stuff together for the weekend.
Saturday
We got up at 4am to head to St. Louis for the Color Run.  It was misting rain and in the 40's, we weren't very optimistic for it to be warm and sunny!  We slept a little in the car and were ready to go when we got there.  We were so cold though!!



Courtney, Niki, Me & Stefanie

Runge & I

We had on way too many layers!!

Lindsay & Anne made it!!

We 3 ran the whole thing and I was so excited, out of breath, but excited!!  We didn't take any pictures during but we took lots after...

Our whole group!!!

It was one of the most fun things I've ever done and I'm so glad I got to do it with some of my best friends and sister!!  After we were done, we were really hoping we could check into our hotel early so we could get out of the rain and get a shower.  Niki and I went in to the hotel, we batted our eyes and talked about how cold and wet we were and just wanted a shower....they got us into our hotel before 11am...check in wasn't until 3!  We were so thankful!!!  We all showered and then got ready for the Cardinals game.

Niki, Me & Charleen before the game

She got us such great tickets for the game!!  Our seats were under an awning or we could sit inside.  It was all you could eat and all you can drink!!  It was amazing!!

We headed back to the hotel to change our clothes again so we could go out.  We went to the Big Bang, which is a dueling piano bar!!  It was so much fun!!!

 Sunday

We woke up around 9am and headed back home.  It was still kinda rainy and gloomy....perfect day for a nap that was much needed!!  I did laundry and cleaned my bathroom also then I went and had dinner with a guy I had gone on a date with a few days ago. 

It was one of the best weekends ever!!!! 

Weekend Wrap-Up

I can't believe I'm just now writing this but it's been a crazy week and this past weekend was so great, it has to be documented!!

Friday

I worked the night before so I came home to sleep for a few hours then I was up to shower and get a spray tan.  Loving my spray tans!!  I did that, then went to Niki's to meet up with her and take some decorations to the church for the wedding.  We decorated then both headed home to hurry up and get ready to be back at the church for rehearsal.  It was rough on me as well as the others.  Chad was supposed to be one of the groomsmen so they had a canvas made of his picture and had it on an stand.  I cried every time I looked at it and then when they started playing music, it was even worse.  We all finally made it through the rehearsal, ate dinner and headed home.  It was going to be a long day tomorrow. 

 

Saturday

My day started early!  I got ready and headed to the church.

It was the dollar dance and a new song happened to come on when we started dancing.  He started laughing and looked at me and said "You will never believe this....this is the song that my phone rang when Chad called me!"  I started balling and we danced the whole song.  Chad was there, I know it!
