The Weekend

This past weekend, I didn't take a single picture. I don't know why, but I forget to get my camera out!  It is frustrating, so I am going to try and do better.

We had a nice weekend.  My cousin, Richard, and his wife, Julie, came and stayed with us for the weekend.  It was fun getting to hang out with them. They don't live too far away, but just far enough not to be able to see each other regularly.  Maybe one day soon, they will move closer--fingers crossed!

Friday night, my parents watched Will so that we could go out to eat.  We went to a Japanese steakhouse and it was really good!  We ate so much food.

Saturday, everyone indulged me and we all went shopping together.   We got a few more things done for Will's birthday, I got some makeup and books, and we ate lunch at the mall food court!  Saturday night, we hung around the house and John came over. I made hamburgers and we watched a movie. It was nice and relaxing!

Sunday was church day!  Richard and Julie went with us to Sunday School.  We had 22 people in our class, which is AMAZING!  We started this class only 4 weeks ago to reach out to the 20-35 year old age bracket and God has really showed up!  I am so thankful that our pastor has a passion for this age group.  Clay and I had nursery and we had a good time playing with the 4 & 5 year olds.  After morning service, my parents, my grandparents, John, Richard, and Julie all came back to the house to eat.  I made chili and cheese dip and mom made a cake.  It was a nice, simple meal! Soon everyone left, and Will and I took a much needed nap.  After our nap, we headed back to church.

Clay stayed home from night church to work on our bathroom because we had a water problem that needed to be fixed!  I am not a big fan of home repairs because it is so much work, but at least I will get to repaint my bathroom.  I have been dying to do that for a couple of months!  I am not sure what color yet but I want to paint our bedroom too, so hopefully Clay will be up for that! 

It was a great weekend and I am glad that Richard and Julie got to come up.  The next few weekends will be filled with birthday prep, I hope I can pull it all together!!!
