Weekend Recap

Fall Break Recap + Blog Reno

I took the past few days off from blogging because I was off enjoying my fall break from school!!!  It was MUCH needed.  And my blog may look a little different to you because it’s under construction.  It’ll be ready within the next week, so I can’t wait to show all of you what I’ve been really dreaming up the past few months.

Now, a little recap of my fall break…
 We celebrated my sister’s birthday on Friday!  Happy Birthday Rach!


 Of course we had to get a picture together 🙂


 We took a trip to Nashville and I captured a picture of the fog sitting on the Tennessee River.


 Flavored coffee at Fido in Nashville–it almost made me want to start drinking coffee 😉


 I had a smoked turkey and Brie sandwich on focaccia with roasted sweet potatoes.


 Dustin had braised beef and (I think cheddar??) with roasted sweet potatoes.


 We love Hillsboro Village in Nashville!


 Then we bought more Christmas decorations.  I was excited and Dustin…


And we went to see Hotel Transylvania 2 with our nephews!

Weekend Recap!

This past weekend was a lot of fun!  Even though Dustin worked days all weekend, we were able to hang out with friends and I was able to relax–that’s a win-win in my books!

Friday
 As soon as I left school on Friday, I rushed to Walmart to get our weekly grocery shopping done.  You can see in my purse my Erin Condren planner.  I plan our meals out each week and the grocery shop the week before.  I used to do all of my grocery shopping on Saturday morning, but I soon realized that I hated going to the grocery store on Saturdays.  So instead of going home on Fridays after school to relax, I fight the crowd at Walmart (it’s surprisingly crowded on Friday afternoons).  And since Walmart honors Publix adds, I got a lot of stuff on sale–yummy food that I will be mixing up for the blog!


 As soon as Dustin got home from work, we scarfed down supper and headed to watch our hometown football game.  If you’re from Hartselle, I’m sure you heard about the red powder incident….Dustin only got a little on him and I don’t think I got any on my coat.


 Trying to take selfies in the stands without being noticed 🙂


 It may have only been 60 degrees that night but the constant wind mixed with misty rain at times made it feel like it was 40 degrees out!  We had a hot chocolate break during halftime.

Saturday

 I woke up early Saturday morning because apparently I’m getting older and cannot sleep in past 7 AM.  Since I got up early, I decided to get started baking desserts for the Alabama game later that day.  This is the beginning of Lucky Charm marshmallow treats, and I also made another bundt cake–because they’re my fav!


 I needed a few more items that Walmart didn’t have Friday, so I headed out to Kroger in the rain…..dressed like that.  I seriously didn’t think many people would be there but I saw half the town.  Thank goodness I brushed my teeth before I left!


 Dustin took off work four hours early in order to watch the Alabama-Georgia game–that man is crazy about his football.  We went over to our friends’ house to watch and this was what the guys looked like during part of the game.  They either sit on the couch together or stand up and yell at the TV 🙂


 Toward the end of the football game, the girls decided to head to Hobby Lobby to “look” around haha!  I stocked up on more Christmas decorations since this is our first Christmas in our home!

Sunday

Sunday consisted of church, watching a Hallmark movie I had recorded, and a nap (which is not like me during the school year).
 I also cooked dinner and looked at my new Pottery Barn catalog that came in the mail this weekend.  I’m OBSESSED with their Christmas decorations this year!!!!!  (Don’t you love my  outfit that matches so well?? haha!  Welcome to Sunday night Sarah)
Check back tomorrow for October’s Home Tour Tuesday!!

I’m linking up with Biana today 🙂

Weekend Recap–Revive ’15

This past weekend was AMAZING!  I went to the Revive ’15 conference with a group of ladies from my church–and my mom 🙂  I am so glad I attended this conference.  I learned so much about teaching women the Bible and was able to listen to an awesome pastor preach on two difference passages in the Bible.

We left on Thursday to make the long trek to Indianapolis.  Dustin dropped me off at church that afternoon.  He might not admit it, but I know he missed me being around while I was gone haha!
I started out as navigator and my friend Sarah took the first shift driving.  We ended up stopping in Cool Springs, TN, to eat supper at Panera.  Side note:  I had the new Autumn Squash soup.  It tasted so good!
The conference didn’t start until 2:00 on Friday so we had all morning to hang out and do whatever.  My friend Callie and I headed out to go run/walk.  Our hotel was in such a nice area and there were lots of people out an about!  The NCAA office and museum was across from our hotel, so naturally I took this picture for Dustin!
A view of the city on our run.  It was a gorgeous day with perfect weather.
This was the big park area by our hotel.  Indianapolis was a lot nicer than I had expected!
This was our schedule for the weekend.  This is a ministry of Nancy Leigh DeMoss’s (one of her books is Lies Women Believe) and so she was a main speaker along with Jen Wilkin and Dr. Eric Mason.  Lauren Chandler led worship–I don’t have words to explain how amazing worship was!  Music really helps get your heart ready for the message and I have really missed a more contemporary worship setting.  You could look around and see the sincerity in the worship of each woman–and there were 2200 there!

Lauren Chandler leading us in song.
Dr. Eric Mason teaching us the Word.  He taught Friday on Psalm 51 (which was my favorite message from him–I learned so much about that passage) and on Saturday he taught us Ephesians 4:15-20.  I didn’t get any pictures of Jen or Nancy.
On the way back Mom and I accidentally wore a similar outfit.  She’s so cute.
Our whole group Saturday morning before walking to the convention center.  These ladies really strive to glorify God in all that they do, and I am so thankful for their friendship and accountability!
