(in no particular order)You can always tell when Monday rolls around. People just don't seem to be on top of things. I thought the weekends were for refreshing yourself for another week, but it seems that I always just wear myself out :) Here was my weekend...
Friday night we had steak and potatoes for dinner. They were so yummy. After I put Meg to bed, Jarrad and I watched "Failure To Launch", then crawled into bed. Around 3:45am, Jarrad's phone rang - turns out that one of the doors at a car wash was left open, so he had to go up to Irving to lock the door. Since it was already 4:15 by the time he left, he just didn't come back to the house. So, his Saturday started VERY early.
Saturday, Meg and I went to Lawson's b-day party. I can't believe he's two. Meg loved playing with Brylie and Marlie. She actually ate cake (two pieces)...but, turns out she didn't really like the cake, just the chocolate chips that Darla put on it. Speaking of cake - you should have seen Lawson's cake (pictured below - not a great picture, was taken with my cell phone). Darla actually made it. I was VERY impressed.
Saturday afternoon, Jarrad came home around 3:30 or so. I was able to talk him into going to the mall with me. I know - Jarrad at the mall...but, it's true. Jarrad gave me a beautiful ring for our anniversary and I needed to pick it up from being resized. After the mall, we went to Razoos for some boiled crawfish - yummy!!! Then it was back to the house.
Sunday, I got up and tackled my "project" of converting the "baby room" into a play room for Meg. The fact is that the rooms just sits empty, so we thought we'd take advantage of the space while we still have only one child and make it into a play room for her. It took all day, and it's almost complete. Meg loves it :) It was worth my time and effort. Of course, we all know what this means....I'm going to be pregnant and have a baby sooner rather than later. But, hey, I can live with that :)
I can't explain some of the things below. I just know that it's what I do :)
I know what you're thinking....why would you get another dog. Well, we just couldn't resist that face. She's super sweet and Meg loves her. But, seriously - she's not ours. She lives at the house next door and is always coming under our fence to play with Dixie, Ace, & Meg. Our neighbors have tried everything to keep her out of our yard, but nothing works. She always finds a way.
So far, our neighbors have tried:
Nothing can keep Lucy out of our yard. We don't mind - except when our neighbors are no where to be found and we have to break into the backyard to return her.
Saturday night, Jarrad and I celebrated our FIVE YEAR anniversary by going to the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine. We had an amazing time. While we were there, I talked Jarrad into getting our caricature done. Aren't we cute???
We started the evening off by checking into our room. The, we wandered around aimlessly for about an hour before eating dinner. We ate at the Riverwalk Cafe in the hotel. It was an all you can eat place. They had everything. My favorite part was the snow crab legs :) Jarrad and I could have eaten that all night.
After dinner, we went back to the room so I could change shoes...I'm not cut out for wearing heels all night. Plus, I wanted to put my purse up too. We left the room and headed to the cigar bar so Jarrad could smoke a cigar and we could have a few drinks. After Jarrad smoked, we played two games of pool. I lost both games :(
Sunday morning, we slept in...well, Jarrad was up early and he let me sleep in until 9:15. After I got moving, we ate breakfast at the same place we ate dinner the night before, then checked out of the hotel. We had a wonderful time!
Today Jarrad and I are celebrating 5 years! I can't believe its already been that long. I feel like we just got married yesterday. Tonight, we are taking Meg to boompaw and nawnaw's house and we are going out. We're so excited. I love you, Jar.
