Weekend Wrap-Up

I had maybe one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. It was so restful and relaxing...those kind come few and far between.

My weekend started off with me deciding I didn't want to go with D to the crazy forum for Memphis Madness. Instead, I let him go hang out with his buddy, Pete, and I went and hung out with the one and only sister. I picked us up some Chinese food, rented a red box movie, and to her her apartment I went.

It was so nice to be in comfy clothes and lay on the couch and laugh at a funny movie. I rented:

It was a great movie and I would give it an A+, but they chose to add a completely unnecessary, terrible word at the end.

After the movie, mom and dad joined the party and brought sister something delicious from Sheridan's and a pumpkin spice latte for me.

They're the best. After a night of laughs and treats, it was time to go meet back up with my boy.


Saturday morning at 7:45 my eyes opened...what in the world?! My day to sleep late and I'm awake at 7:45. I made myself lay there until 8 and then I decided getting out of bed was better than wasting away the day. I laced up my 'conies and had an 8:15 date with Jillian. I showered, folded laundry, and helped D. His latest project...replacing the padding at the bottom of our doors. Yes, I know OCD. To do this, the door must come off the hinge which he needed my assistance for. That concluded all my productivity for the day. :)

Soon it was time to head over to my in-laws for Saturday football watching. The boys played wiffle ball in the back yard for a little bit and I sat in a comfy chair on the back porch with my book....and get this....a blanket. It was cool in the shade! It was so nice.

A little while later, us girls (Momma D, Jules, B, and even Mags) decided to go see a movie. We love Karen Kingsbury's books and there is currently a movie out that was made from her book, Like Dandelion Dust. It was a tear jerker. B and Momma D were teary eyed, I cried at the end, and poor Jules cried throughout the whole movie. It's a movie that tells about an adoption story. Clearly a tear-jerker. Maggie informed us as we were walking out that she did not want to ever go to a big girl movie again...it was too boring.

We loaded up and went and had pizza with our football watchers. Then before I knew it, my bed was calling my name.

Sunday 6:50a.m. Grabbed my 'conies and my water and had an early workout before church. We heard a challenging message from D about worship and how it shouldn't be something we just do at church, but how it should be a lifestyle.

12:15p.m. We all crammed in the Jerkins' suburban and headed to Mississippi to grandmomma's for lunch. Roast, potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, cornbread, salad....yep I was miserably full. It was worth it though.

4:45p.m. Back to church to learn about Buddhism or Booty-ism... must see the dance to appreciate this.

6:00p.m. Church

7:15p.m. Sonic with our youth

9:00p.m. Chex Mix in the oven. Amazing Race on our TV...thank you DVR.

10:30p.m. In my bed, wondering where in the world my weekend went.

I always feel like I blink and my weekend is gone? Is it just me? Is it because I work full time? I sometimes think if I was a stay at home home that my weekends would feel longer. Is that a misconception? Probably.
