***Correction on my last post. I had a misspelling on the link to Initial Boutique. The correct address is www.initialboutique.com . You should check it out! ***
My weekend didn't turn out exactly like I planned. I did get dressed Saturday and I didn't sit around eating Nutella out of the jar. I heard about a lot of yard sales in the Milton area and since we had not been in a while, we set out on a bargain hunt. I didn't find a whole lot but I did get a brand new set of Satin Hands by Mary Kay, a new punch bowl set, a pair of Gap jeans, a sweater, a pair of Dockers khakis and a pair of crocs for Luke for around $15 so it was a pretty productive day I guess.
We made it home around 2:00 and I went to Randy's to watch the Alabama game. After weeks of watching a red tv, Randy decided that Saturday was the day for a new one. I must admit it was way past time. After an interesting dinner that I'll spare the details of (1 waitress for about 10 tables of people...you can imagine), we found ourselves in Wal-Mart. This was one of those experiences that opened my eyes to the different ways we approach things. We are both thoughtful about big purchases but the difference is that I will research something to death online and then either order it or go in the store pick it up and leave and Randy likes to spend 3 hours in Wal-Mart. If he was trying to make me hate tv in hopes of never having to watch Real Housewives, it was a close call. He was about 15 minutes from it to be exact. The whole experience made me wonder what the process of naming our children will be like and it sent me to a scary place that I just can't revisit until that time comes. The funny thing is though, when it was all said and done, there's no one else I would have spent more than 30 minutes looking at tvs with. Love will do strange things to you.
We spent Sunday afternoon putting the tv stand together and setting up the tv. We assembled everything without a fight and without any problems. This has to be a good sign.
We also found ourselves at the school unloading pumpkins for their fundraiser. I told you love would do strange things to you. I have to admit that the dorky side of me came out during that time. I LOVE carving pumpkins so I'm looking forward to getting some pumpkins for our first carving experience together. Unloading two truckloads of pumpkins is something you'll never do at an insurance office!
There was truly nothing eventful at all about the weekend. Strangely though, it was the best weekends I've had in a long time. I love those laid back days. I do have a God moment to share one day this week about something going on but I'm going to get my thoughts together before I pound all that out. I'm so glad God shows up in our lives when we need Him the most!
