Happy Weekend!

May your weekend be full of wonderful blessings!!



Allergies, the Weekend, and North Dakota

My hubby and I had a great weekend with his family and at our friend's surprise birthday party. Unfortunately I brought awful allergies home with me so I thought this picture was very suitable since it's exactly how I'm feeling right now! :(

We mainly went for our visit, because Saturday was our friend Mark's surprise birthday party. I have looked forward to this all week since all I've been doing lately is job hunt. He completely fell for the surprise which his wife, Crystal, was very happy about. It was great just catching up, enjoying a great meal, and dancing the night away from classic country to old school 80's. We helped clean up after the party was over then went over to Mark and Crystal's to wind down and relaxed in their hot tub.

One of the things I was most grateful about was their inviting me to go with them to Schlitterbahn next week! Quade leaves this Sunday for 3 weeks to go to North Dakota for work and I figured I would just be going to spend most of it with my family. I do miss my family and I plan to go spend time with them as well. So Sunday morning after I've dropped Quade off at the airport I'll probably go to church with my family then leave for our friend's house. Monday is the Praha picnic for the 156th Prazska Pout celebration. All new to this southern Baptist gal who is still baffled by the fact that you can get as drunk as you want to at a church picnic and it's ok. HA!

All this for last year's church picnic!

Tuesday we are Schlitterbahn bound! I haven't been in probably 3 years at least so I am soooo excited!!

That's our plans so far for next week but who knows what else with these girls!!

I'm going to miss my hubby so much but I figure as long as I keep myself busy it'll go by fast!

What else do you think I should do to help time fly?!

Wedding Weekend Recap!

This weekend we were in New Braunfels for our friends Brittney and Kevin's wedding!! It was so beautiful and perfect! I must've teared up over a dozen times thinking about how the next wedding will be OURS in just 68 days!!!

Here's some of the pictures from the wedding....

Gorgeous ceremony area

Flower girls were so cute

Brittney and her dad

Our hillarious friend LaVerne...I'm soooo glad she was there! :)

The blushing bride...loved her feather bolero jacket she wore into the reception!! 





We such a great time!! She's a teacher so they are putting off their honeymoon until summer. The really sweet part is their honeymoon was scheduled to last until the day after our wedding so the changed it so they could be at ours!! I was so touched that they wanting to be there that much. :) 

Hope y'all had a great weekend!! 

Happy weekend!!

Of all the days that's in the week
I dearly love but one day
And that's the day that comes betwixt
A Saturday and Monday.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!

Oh Those Friday Night Blues

I now know tonight what John Conlee was singing about in his song! Being a big fan of country music and especially classic country, songs like this one have a big impact on my life. If you don't know how the song goes here's the chorus...


And the Friday night blues they get in your shoes and they work to get you down
Oh and there ain't a lady that I ever knew who didn't need her a night on the town
But the hills and the bills and a week's worth of deals has got him feeling more than used
Oh, he's kicking his shoes off she's putting hers on she's got the Friday night blues


I'm more focused on the part "there ain't a lady that I ever knew who didn't need her a night on the town." Yes, my Quade did go home and go to bed but he has to be up at 2 AM so I TOTALLY understand that! This is just my last weekend before my ankle replacement next Thursday (November 4th) and I was really hoping for a fun weekend to "send me off!" Not exactly my idea of a fun night being at home with the parents tonight and tomorrow night going to my church's fall festival! It's not like I expected a big party, but just me not have to be the one to ask or go out of my way. I think I'm a pretty good friend, but when my gestures aren't returned I start to feel otherwise. I think I've just been having a pity party way too long and I need to get some sleep. Who knows, maybe while I'm in recovery this time I will get visitors.

Hope y'all have a Happy Halloween!!
