My weekend..

As promised, tho a little later than planned, here is my trip last weekend:

So Friday night I pull into town. I meet up with my wonderful friend, Ashley B (she will probably read this, thus.. well, anyway.. :) So I'm getting out of my car and *get this* I run into my rearview mirror!!! I mean, I hit it hard! Smashed my thumb really hard. Still hurts. And this morning I realized I have a bruise on my side that's about the same size as my thumb..... nice. Bet you've never done that...

Anyway... Ashley is a friend from the bank (tho we were much better friends than just coworkers) so I went with her to see the call center *where I used to work*. Partly because I wanted to see all the wonderful ppl (all two of them, the rest were all newbies. It was late in the day..) and partly because they recently renovated the call center. It's AWESOME! I can't believe they waited until AFTER I left....

So after that Ashley and I did a bit of shopping, then we had dinner with some of my other friends from the bank. We still stay in touch ALL the time (pretty much every day) via email, so it was really good to see them again.

After dinner Ashley and I decided to go see a movie. Fun stuff! :) I miss Ashley so much. :( Anyway....

Saturday morning I woke up shortly after 7:00. Yes, AM. And I couldn't go back to sleep because my allergies were choking me and the sun was streaming in on my face. Plus when I got up to go to the bathroom my mom came downstairs and so.. Mom and I visited for a while then decided to go garage saling. We had a good time, despite the fact that I was sneezing and my nose and eyes were running.. So we went to wm and got some allergy medicine. I don't like to take allergy medicine, I prefer herbs and such, but I was NOT about to let allergies ruin my weekend.

Well, the combination of allergies, getting up early, and the "non-drowsy" allergy medicine made me sleepy so I took a nap. Allergies REALLY suck...

Then Ashley Miller called and said she was ready to go. So I picked her up, we made a "quick" stop at neighborhood market, then to creekmore park for Stephen's b'day party. He'll be 2 April 21. We had his party early because my dad is leaving tonight to go to Honduras.

Stephen's party was a success! It was a perfect day, warm, not too windy... Apparently everyone else thought so too.. The park was PACKED. They grilled hot dogs and we had chips and such. Then Elij- I mean- stephen (that's what I did ALL weekend.. haha.) opened all his birthday presents. At first he didn't get the hang of it and was NOT happy when mommy took his new toy away. But he caught on pretty quick that there was MORE!! :) And, of course, he loved the new scooter that Brandon and Mary got him. Wore Brandon out, cause he had to walk beside him and help him steer. haha.

While we were at the park these two guys came to the park in girls' clothes. Like, the one dude was wearing a long shirt and leggings and the other guy was wearing a short white skirt with flowers and a shrug.... So that was kinda weird.. rumors say it was a dare or a school project.. not sure which.. But there was a girl following them with a camera.. ANYway... It was weird and we were all relieved when they finally left.

Sunday I woke up miserable. Took me, like, forever to eat breakfast cause I couldn't breath through my nose and it kept running and I kept sneezing. But finally I got through it and started feeling better. So we went to church. Stephen sat with me. He's such a cutie! He'll sing the songs, but he's, like, a line behind everyone else because he's just repeating what you say. haha. Sunday evening my Uncle Jerry preached a really good sermon about praying for revelation.

Sunday evening I went back to mom and Dad's. I had most of stephen's presents in my car, so I had to unload them and pack everything up. Then I visited with mom and dad for a bit. Headed home around 6:45.

It was a great weekend, minus the allergies. I really enjoyed it. Made me really miss everyone there. But one good thing: moving away from my parents has REALLY made me appreciate them more.
