We had the best weekend. Relaxation, a run, rest, house projects, fun with friends, good weather, even some yard work! Amazing.
Friday night Matt and I cuddled up to the new DVD release, "The Bounty Hunter" and made a trip to Home Depot to make a new makeshift desk for his office. With school starting next Monday, I wanted him to have lots of desk space. So, we took a slab of melamine wood and put it on top of two filing cabinets spaced apart. Instant desk! (I will post pictures tomorrow...)
Saturday we set out for an hour long run first thing in the morning. It had been 2 1/2 weeks since I had run since being sick and traveling. We had to do some walking breaks here and there but finished feeling really good. Matt had a class during the day so while he was away I filed, shredded, and dusted stuff in the office. FUN!
Saturday night was date nite part two - we watched "Our Wedding" which was hilarious (we love Redbox. $1.25 for a DVD rental!) and then made the mistake to do a Walmart run at 10pm at night. That is a time to see the worst parenting on the planet. Strung out/tired kids that should be in their beds and not a shopping cart... oh things like that really frustrate me.
Sunday we went to church and then a fun potluck at a local park afterwards. Mmmm BBQ! We have some great friends here in Tri-Cities...
We took a nap all afternoon once home and then tackled some house projects. A little lawn work (yard waste pickup day today!) and some office work. I felt like we had such a great weekend as it was so balanced, and not too overloaded. Matt even did the grocery shopping this morning for us to free up our evening yesterday. (I love that guy...)
I am really excited for this week - we are so grateful for Matt's new job starting Friday and school on Monday. It will be a huge change for us, but a welcome one.
I hope you all had great weekends!

I am so thankful that Matt got the job! Have a great, great week!!! Tell Matt I said I will be praying for his school adventure. Mine starts back up Saturday, but I'm not too sure I'm as excited as he is- :).
(((Hugs)))
I don't know how you manage to do so much in 100 degree weather! In the 90's here, and I'm just gunna spend the afternoon watching 'Northern Exposure' - whew, it is cool there.
Oo, Bonita, I LOVE "Northern Exposure"!
Roo, UGH! Walmart at 10 is a nightmare. The worst parenting, indeed. Kool-Aid stained children in saggy, dirty clothes, desperate for bed. :sigh: :oS
Praise praise praise for Matt's job! I'm so excited for you guys! :o)
Sounds like you also had a productive weekend. Did you mention what Matt was going back to school for and I've forgotten? I'm so happy he got the job :) Miss you!
Yeah for the job starting, what a complete and total answer from the Lord! Sounds like a jam-packed weekend, I hope this week is shaping up to all you wished it would be ... mine really isn't, but hey, that's just life sometimes, right?
Glad you had a great weekend! :) Hugs to you!
Sometimes I long for those weekends when it was just me and Adam. Lately it seems like our weekends are filled with activities for the kids!
