Let me just tell you that this weekend was really great. I mean really!
We went out to eat on Thursday night last week, because I put a plea out on facebook for my hubby to take us out a night ahead of schedule and it worked!! Go me! I just couldn't stand the thought of cooking Thursday night. So we ate mexican at our local mexican restaurant. And can I just tell you how great it is to have a mexican restaurant in my town? I love it, and they have the greatest punch ( ha Abby). We then headed back home to watch the SEC win big!!!
Friday night, I cooked, we ate, we played Clue, I came up with the answer but Stephen won because of where he was on the board (RATS!), and we went to bed.
Saturday, after sleeping in, I fixed biscuits, sausage and gravy and then we sat around the house. The twins were invited to a birthday party and Anna and I decided to go shopping. We spent 3 hours trying on clothes, walking the mall, and just having a great girlie time. When we got home we built a fire in the backyard fire-pit and roasted hot dogs and made s'mores while listening to the first half of the Arkansas game. The kids jumped on the trampoline, while Stephen and I sat gazing into the fire listening to the radio. Such a sweet time.
Yesterday was a LONG day at church, but a great day. We had our largest attendance in Sunday School in quite a while, we had a guest preacher, which meant my family got to sit together during the worship service. That never happens, and it was so good! We also had visitation and a funeral, fed the family of the deceased, cleaned up the kitchen, and then had potluck and business meeting. Then went to the funeral home for another visitation. I left my house at 9:35 am and got home at 7:15pm. As I wrote that, I realized that many of you are working longer hours than that everyday, so me being at church for almost 10 hours isn't much. Sorry about that, it just seemed like a really long day!
I pray you have a great week!

Julie

WOW! Sounds like a really busy, but enjoyable weekend!

I have a question for the sisters! Have you ever thought about doing a Q & A here on your blog? I think it would be something fun for you both, so we readers can see both of your answers.

Ok, so the real reason I'm asking is because my girls have not been getting along much lately, and I pray they have a great relationship like you two one day, and I have tons of questions for you myself, lol. As you know they are 5 years apart. Help?! :o

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
