Mission Accomplished

I got almost everything accomplished that I had set out to do this weekend.

Friday night I was home alone and did 6 loads of laundry! Too much! Lucas called at midnight, just as I was getting ready to go to bed and said that he was on his way home. He got home at 4:00 on Saturday morning. Later that morning I was getting ready to go run with Debbie and asked Lucas if he wanted to come with me and he agreed! So we drove over to Debbie's house and the three of us ran to our house (a little over 3 miles). We had some water and took a 5 minute break and then Debbie and I ran back to her house a shorter way (about 2 miles). I hadn't run to get ready for that distance but it all worked out well... I did have to walk half way up this really steep hill towards the end of the run but all in all it was a good run. If I keep it up I should be ready for my 10K.

Lucas and I were going to have a date night but we ended up going to Hartselle. On the way we stopped by Home Depot and got blinds for the living room, family room, and eat-in kitchen area! Although we haven't yet had time to hang them I am super excited to have them. We hung out with Mom and Dad for a little while then when to eat at the Asian Buffet with my parents and grandparents. When we got back to the house, Chris, Aida, and Rocky came over for another sleepover to get Rocky ready for his big stay. I can't believe he'll be here in less than a week!

Sunday I played tennis from 12:00 to 4:00. First, I played some doubles with Amy against Jill and Debbie to get them ready for state. Then, I played some singles and then doubles with Mary Beth, Sarah, and Jennifer. MB, Jennifer, and I were talking about state afterwards and I think MB is going to go and Jennifer is going to stay in our room so we are going to have 5 girls in one room! That is going to make it good for the bill but bad for the shower! We'll work it out and I think we'll have fun. I hope Jennifer isn't too overwhelmed with us b/c we do like to have a good time while we're there. I still haven't asked Joey if I can get off work... I'll miss 2 days of work but it is right after the primary so we should be slow... hopefully no run-offs.

Lucas played soccer at 2:00 on Sunday and scored a goal! I hate that I wasn't there to see it but he was really excited about it. His team won 3-0. Afterwards, we went and had an ice-cream date at Brewsters since we didn't get our date the night before. It was really nice and such a beautiful day to sit outside and eat an ice-cream cone.

(As you can tell by my eyes I am really lovin' that ice-cream... Lucas eats his too fast)

Then we went home and I gave Lucas a haircut. I dread giving him haircuts b/c everything gets so messy but we have an agreement... I cut, Lucas cleans. And I have fun doing it! I never would have thought I would be giving hair cuts. Haha! We went over to Debbie's house. She and Andy had prepared a great meal... steaks, baked potatoes, and best of all GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE! I love green bean casserole! All of that (plus more than there is time to mention) with wine and good company made for a great relaxing night as we sat outside on the back deck. It was a great way to end the weekend.

Work is somewhat slow today. Joey is out of town until Thursday. Right now I am working on getting involved in the Huntsville Young Professionals and trying to test the waters to see if I can apply for Connect Huntsville (a leadership class for young professionals... if I get accepted that will be $1800, hopefully paid by my boss). Also on my list of things to do is to get some more sponsorships for CABO!
