Words can not express how thankful I am that it is finally Friday! Just knowing that has given me a sense of renewal today. This past week has been so busy for me and being sick was just the icing on the cake! Since this week has been so crazy I am really looking forward to the weekend. Why? Well, because we are doing a whole bunch of this....
NOTHING!!!!
Ok, well I'm sure we'll be doing something, but overall there's only two things that we are planning on doing...going to see the kids I used to watch and bringing the oldest her birthday present and softball tonight. Yep, that's pretty much it! We're going to try to keep the running around to a minimum and just relax this weekend. Doesn't that sound lovely?
I must admit that even though I love to go out and about, I'm really looking forward to some time with my amazing fiance this weekend. He's pretty happy about the weekend too since he loves to just stay at home and relax after his two-hour-each-way commute Monday thru Friday. He works very hard and needs his time to unwind on the weekend which, unfortunately, he didn't get much of last weekend so, we're going to fix that this weekend.
Well, those are our weekend plans...What are yours?

Weekend Recap
Friday was awesome! I only worked 2 hours the whole day and was able to pick up the apartment, run to the grocery store, and relax for most of the day. As usual, we had the family Friday night dinner and it was amazing. We had crab imperial, snap peas, fruit salad, and garlic potato wedges. I love family dinners on Friday nights because it gives Phil and I a chance to sit down with the people that we love and reconnect and catch-up with them.
Saturday was by far our busiest day. We hosted brunch for some friends of ours and it turned out really well. I made french toast with brioche bread, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla, veggie pizza, gorgonzola pizzettes, fruit and yogurt cups, and orange cream mimosas. Phil made the bacon and deviled eggs. I did really well with letting him make those and not interfering...lol. After brunch, we went to a family friend's birthday party for their adorable little girl who turned 1! It was a lot of fun and there was tons of good food and sangria :) Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling well so we decided to skip family game night at Phil's Aunt's house and just relax just the two of us. We went to pizza hut for dinner and were able to have a great time talking and eating pizza.
Sunday, we went to church in the morning (of course) and followed it by lunch and running errands. We ended up getting a lot of things at the store, mainly because I had some really good coupons and didn't want to waste them, and had a quick bite to eat from the brunch leftovers before heading out to the Marriage Fellowship Bible Study we are involved in. Even though we are not marriedor engaged yet, we are prayerfully considering marriage and I strongly feel that God has spoken to me about this man being my husband. It is really helping with so many things and to be able to see other couples interact and tell stories has really blessed us both and makes Phil less anxious about getting married.
Well, that's my weekend recap...what did you guys do this weekend?

Weekend Remix
Wow, what a great weekend! We did a lot and changed our plans and it was a lot of fun. Here's the recap:
Thursday night we went to a "Taco Bake" over at a friend's house and was able to have dinner there and be around some great people and eat a fantastic dish called Taco Bake. Seriously, if you haven't tried it...do it now!
Friday we had the whole day together.
Today we went to chuch this morning, picked up Subway for lunch on our way back, stopped at Wal-mart to look at a couple of things and finally made it back home. I still have to run to the store tonight to look at curtains and pick Phil up a deodorant since he lost his on the trip...lol.
Overall, we had a great weekend and the weather made it even nicer...sunny and not too cold!

- We had an appointment with my boss' office in the morning and I didn't have to go in early that day!
- Afterwards we went to the mall for lunch and to return a couple of things. While we were there we saw one of Phil's friends and were able to catch-up with him while he was on his lunch break.
- We picked up the kids from school.
- Then we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with a great couple and their two adorable boys! We followed dinner with games at their house and had so.much.fun.

Sensational Saturday!
I must admit that today was such a great day! Phil and I took the two youngest kids I watch to a pancake breakfast to support the church's youth group and afterwards we took them to Toys R Us and let them each pick out a little toy. It was great to be able to spend some time with them and not be in "nanny mode."
We followed that by going to the mall where we hung out and shopped for a couple of hours. Since the mall in town is small and doesn't have any good stores, I love it when we venture the 40 (or so) minutes to the bigger mall with all of the great stores. I may or may not have been a little discouraged by not finding anything that currently fits me well and I may or may not have splurged at Victoria's Secret. I also found that if the clothes would fit I would totally shop at J. Crew. It reminds me a lot of American Eagle, but for adults. This just might have to be one of my new goals.
After the mall we headed on over for an early dinner date at The Melting Pot. If you have not been there, seriously go...like now. It is a little expensive, but the four course fondue meal is fantastic. Our two favorites were the cheese and chocolate.
We finished the evening by having a family game night that his parents hosted. It was great to see his aunts, uncles, and one cousin for a few hours of playing games and just spending time together. I love his mom's side of the family and really look forward to seeing them every chance we get.
Tomorrow will probably be more of a relaxing day seeing as we've been so busy today, but it was great to have a whole day with him and know that we still have tomorrow together before the work week starts up again.
