Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap!

This past weekend was glorious.  After my first full week at school and my grad school term starting back, I needed this weekend in more ways than one.  I was able to relax a little and get the million things done that I had on my To Do list.

Friday

Dustin worked nights this weekend so Friday night Rachel and I went to the re-opening of a local ice cream shop.  It turns out that one of my student’s family owns this ice cream shop and they’ve spent the past several months re-building it.  I saved up my points all day for this special treat and it did not disappoint.  I accidentally got the wrong kind of ice cream because I was too busy talking to my student and his parents but what I got actually tasted pretty great.
After I left Rachel with a friend (I felt like her mom ha!), I stopped by Target on my way home to pick up a shower curtain for our upstairs bathroom.  This will be the third shower curtain I’ve bought for that bathroom because if you know me, then you know that everything I want is white–and I’ve been trying to get out of my comfort zone and pick something with color for this bathroom.  Nothing looked right so I bit the bullet and bought an all white shower curtain and it looks perfect.

While I was at Target I saw a display of the new Essie gel setter polish, and I had just read my favorite blogger, Shay’s, Friday Favorites post with this exact nail polish.  I bought it and painted my nails that night.  I forgot to take a picture of my nails but I am loving this polish.  It’s very fallish but I’m so ready for fall right now that I don’t even care!

Saturday

Saturday morning I went to the gym and had a great workout session.  I’ve been trying to incorporate more weights into my workouts and I was very pleased with my workout that morning.

Then I went over to my sister’s to photograph her house for September’s House Tour Tuesday post. (I’ll either post that September 1st or 8th.)  I’m excited about this post since she’s in a rental house right now so you will get to see how someone is able to make a rental house homey.  This is August’s House Tour Tuesday post.

Here is a sneak peek of Rachel’s house!

After Dustin headed to work Saturday evening, I headed to Huntsville do a little shopping before I met my mom and stepdad for dinner.  I needed filler pillows for the shams for our new bedding and wanted to check out Home Goods for an upholstered bench for our living room.

I ended up getting everything I needed!  I lucked out at Home Goods and found the perfect bench, but it happened to have a little stain on it–that you can’t see unless you are looking for it.  I got them to discount the bench to where it was under the budget I had set for myself!!  The only problem??  Fitting it into my car AND beating a thunderstorm that was on it’s way.  There were a few nice people who stopped to ask if I needed help (I was wearing OTBT wedges and if you know what those look like, they are high!  I’m sure I looked like a crazy woman!) and a few people stare at me ha!  It took me a while but I managed to maneuver it into my car.  I also had items in my front floor board and trunk.  I put this on instagram (@saraheshaneyfelt)–I need an SUV!!

Here’s the bench in the house!  I’m hoping to move that picture somewhere else and put a few pictures on that wall but when you build a house and are newly married, you don’t have much, so until then, the picture stays!

And a few of the other goodies I got at Home Goods!  The Halloween plate to display in my kitchen during October (I already had the plate holder), the greenery for our bedroom, and the most beautiful glass pumpkin for fall decor!  You can’t really tell, but the pumpkin is burnt orange at the bottom.
Sadly, I didn’t take any pictures of my family eating Saturday night but it was yummy!

Sunday

Sunday was pretty laid back so I didn’t take any pictures.  I went to church while Dustin slept since he worked off Sunday morning.  I wasn’t feeling too great so I came home and napped while he went to his parents to get stuff ready to go work at his hunting land.  He came home, we hung out after I woke up, I stopped by my dad’s after D left for work to see both of my sisters, went to Walmart, and watched the Hallmark movie channel–which is my favorite channel!

Weekend Recap

This was my first weekend since kids started back to school on Wednesday.  Translation?  I went to bed early every night and did absolutely nothing.  There’s just something about getting back into the swing of things at the beginning of a school year that just wears a teacher out!  I told Dustin to think of it this way–while he was working this summer and I was at home, I talked to no one.  Now I’m talking constantly all day long and at an elevated voice level for all of my students to hear.  I. AM. SO. TIRED.

Friday

I took zero pictures.  I got home.  Laid on the couch for a little bit.  Dustin and I decided to go out to eat because I had no energy to cook.  Then I fought sleep until I decided to go to be at 9 o’clock.  

Saturday

I slept 11 glorious hours!  I don’t even think I slept that long all summer so you know I was exhausted.

I got out and ran 3 miles = tough.  I let my running slide this summer because of the heat.  Hopefully I’ll have time this week to go run at the gym since it’s supposed to rain every day.
Then I cleaned the house, and since it rained most of the day, I read a book.  We also waited around for our mattress to get delivered and they called about 5:30 PM letting us know that the truck had broken down and we couldn’t get our mattress until Sunday.

[Side note: We bought a mattress from Mattress Firm two weeks ago.  They delivered a week later.  One of the box springs was broken (apparently king size beds get 2??) and the mattress had black stuff all over the side and part of the top.  They sent us another mattress Friday.  It was even worse–it had lots of black smudges and so Dustin refused it.  I didn’t find this out until I came home from school.  Truck broke down Saturday.  At this point, we decided that if we didn’t get a mattress on Sunday that we would ask for our money to be refunded and go down the road to another mattress store.]

Sunday

Selfie after church on Sunday!

And then we tried out the self-timer.  We’ll need some practice.

The mattress people arrived!!

Dustin’s feelings toward this whole mattress process.

I quickly snapped this to show y’all how he went out to greet the delivery guys and talk to them as they brought our mattress in.

And it is a keeper!!!!!  We ended up getting a Tempur-Pedic Flex–which is their latest model–and we can’t wait to try it out!  Hopefully no more backaches!

That night Dustin grilled and my dad came to eat with us.  We love having people come eat, and we always pray that our cooking turns out ha!

A Thursday – Weekend Recap :)

I missed Friday Favorites because…school started back for teachers.  And Thursday I ran around like a crazy woman in the pouring down rain trying to get to two doctor appointments so I don’t have to take off of school any at the beginning of the year.  I really feel like this weekend went by so fast, but that’s how they feel when school is in session 🙁  Kids start back on Wednesday!
Thursday

I went through some boxes that my mom sent to my house and found this gem:
 This is from the 6th grade.  I’m 2nd from the left.  Sixth graders definitely don’t look like that anymore!  They now look like little mini college students.  And this was the only year I played Upward.  Basketball + me = embarrassing!

My first doctor appointment on Thursday morning was at my dermatologist for my yearly check up.  This was my first time visiting her new office and I love it!  It’s so Restoration Hardware with all of the neutral grays throughout.  If it wouldn’t have looked weird, I would have taken pictures throughout the office haha!
Friday

Teachers started back to school.  I didn’t even think to take a picture of my room because I had SO MUCH TO DO.  Think numbering and dividing up new textbooks, workbooks, freebies from the textbook company, and a million other things, so I didn’t even get around to anything that I needed to.

I left school Friday at 4 because our new mattress was being delivered!  I had them stick it in one of the extra bedrooms because we needed to air it out and our bedroom furniture isn’t getting delivered until Tuesday afternoon.  We got the newest TempurPedic and I’m excited to finally get to sleep on it!


Saturday

I ran two miles.  Rachel and I went shopping to take advantage of tax free weekend here in the state of Alabama.  Then I got really sick so we had to go home 🙁  I’m hoping the doctor can figure out what the deal is with my stomach so I can finally eat.

Sunday

Church and open house at school!  I can’t wait to teach beside one of my friends from high school!!!  I’ve waited a whole year for her to be hired and I am thrilled to finally have a teaching partner!
