Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

Thursday night I decided to experiment with another bundt cake flavor.  I made lemon and made it sugar free.  All I wanted was one piece of it, and then I sent it to work with Dustin Friday morning.  It was so good, and I could have eaten the whole cake!  I am such a sweets fan.
Friday after school Mom, Rachel, and I met up for the matinee showing of The Longest Ride.  It was my FAVORITE Nicholas Sparks book so I couldn’t wait to see the movie.  Let me tell you, it did not disappoint.  It’s my favorite story line and I only cried one time during the movie.  
Excuse what we look like.  Mom and I had already had a looooong day teaching (and a long week) and Rachel had been doing house calls for Hospice all day long.  We were tired.  And this isn’t the best picture, but oh well.

Dustin worked days this weekend, so Saturday morning Mom and I met up to go preview a yard sale in town.  I had been eyeing a leather couch and love seat that I knew would be perfect for our upstairs game room.  When we got there Saturday morning, the furniture had already been sold but I did end up with these Christmas decorations…… 🙂  The mini tree will go in my classroom and the glitter trees are going in the new house for Christmas!!  Eeeek!

The Lilly for Target sale.  Oh my.  If you read Friday’s post, you know that I had planned to meet up with a friend at 6 am to wait in line early Sunday morning.  Well, our area had been getting threats of very severe weather so I ended up staying home.  I researched the online sale and saw that it was being released sometime between midnight and 2 am.  I set my alarm for a little before midnight and rushed downstairs as soon as it went off.  

Apparently midnight wasn’t the release time.  I looked through the online lookbook again and decided to check the #LillyforTarget on Instagram.  THANK GOODNESS I DID!!!  I saw all of these posts of order completions and I started freaking out.  How were these people ordering already when the site wouldn’t work for me?!?!  After reading through the comments, I realized that the mobile site had accidentally opened early.  I rushed to find a shift dress I wanted and it let me order it!  Then I went to get another shift I wanted and it had already sold out.  This was about 12:15-12:20 am.  All of the shift dresses in my size had already sold out except the one I already ordered.
 This is the message I got used to seeing 🙁

I saw this Sunday night and thought it was hilarious!  I sent this to Mom and Rachel because this is so true for us!  Especially on birthdays….cake was ALWAYS for breakfast on birthdays!
This week we start state standardized testing and my test days are today and tomorrow.  Testing lasts two weeks and then we only have three weeks of school left–and that includes giving semester exams.  This year has really flown by!  I genuinely love everyone of my classes and I am going to be so sad to see them go!

Weekend Recap!

This weekend was a ton of fun!  The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and Dustin was off work, too!

Friday night started off exactly how I wanted it to–at home doing nothing!  I had seen advertisements for Barbara Walters’s interview with Mary Kay LeTourneau (sp?), the teacher who had a child with her 6th grade student.  They are married now–and have been for 10 years–with two teenage children.  She’s 53 and he’s 31.  The interview was weird and you could tell that there wasn’t any love between them.  Yuck.  I just remember when the national news was covering her affair and thinking how disgusting it was.  And now that I’m teaching 12 year olds, I can’t even fathom what that woman did.  The thought of it makes me want to throw up–they are children!  Little kids!  Yuck yuck yuck!

Saturday morning I went to a boot camp class at the stadium.  It was a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to more!  After the class I went to my friend Sarah’s house for a quick visit.  It’s nice to be able to go for a quick visit to a friend’s house.  Then Dustin and I went fishing.  It was gorgeous outside and I even caught a fish!

Dustin caught one first though 🙂

We had lots of company, too!  Actually they just wanted to know what was in our tackle box ha!

Saturday night we went to Bridgestreet to eat at The Melting Pot!  We got there about 2 hours before our reservation so that we could walk around and look for some flip flops for me.  Side note:  Friday at school I tripped UP the stairs and broke my favorite flip flops.  I was so sad about my flip flops because they I bought them while I was in college at the Clarks store.  Well, of course, they don’t make them anymore.  I thought I had settled on Rainbows except that none of the stores had my size 🙁

The Melting Pot was such an experience!  I had been there before but Dust hadn’t.  They came around and took pictures of everyone (not sure why?) and I found it on their FB page.

We were a little sunburned from spending all day outside.

Sunday we went to church, and we went to a birthday party at the lake for Dustin’s little cousin.  Then we decided to go by our new house with Dustin’s family to walk around the inside with them since they hadn’t done that yet. Saturday the workers got a good bit bricked and the entire roof shingled (is that a verb?).  I LOVE THE BRICK COLOR!  While we were there, Janie and her husband Chris drove up–which was so funny because they now live an hour away and were in town to see Janie’s parents.  So we showed them around, too.  The last time Janie had seen it was after they poured the slab so it was a big difference!

This weekend was a blast!  I am so thankful for the perfect weather and the time with my husband.  We really cherish these weekends that we have together since he works two weekends a month.



Weekend Recap

This weekend recap is a little late since I usually post them on Monday, but Sunday night we didn’t get home until after 8 PM and there was no way I was blogging!  Where did we go?  Read along to find out!!  (I’ll learn to take pictures someday 🙂 )
 
Part of my Christmas present were tickets to see Wicked in Atlanta!!  Dustin surprised me Christmas morning with tickets to the 2 o’clock show in a new purse he had bought me!  I was so excited and Dustin….not so much ha!
 
 Before the show–we had pretty good seats!  We didn’t know if we would make it in time because we got stuck in two different construction zones heading to Atlanta so our lunch plans didn’t happen.  Instead, we scarfed down Quiznos in 5 minutes (no joke) and ran into The Fox Theatre to find our seats.  I had already seen Wicked but it was great to see it again and Dustin actually thought it was okay!
 
 We ended up staying at the Westin Hotel in Buckhead so it was right outside the craziness of downtown.  We checked in after the show was over, changed clothes, and walked to the restaurant where we ate dinner.  I took this photo inside our restaurant’s lobby while waiting for a table.
 
We ate at True Food Kitchen in Buckhead.  It was so good!  If you eat a gluten-free diet, then you need to eat here.
 
 I ordered the Spaghetti Squash Casserole, and it was great!  It looks really big in this picture, but that dish was pretty shallow.  There was a little bit of mozzarella cheese on top, and then spaghetti squash and zucchini mixed with pasta sauce.  YUM!
 
 Sunday we ate at The Varsity.  I had about three bites of this and gave the rest to Dustin.  I just can’t eat food like this anymore because it makes me sick.  
 
 After lunch we headed to Ikea.  I decided I’m over Ikea.  The last time I went I had just graduated from college and was broke.  The cheap furniture was awesome.  Now, not so much.  If I’m buying anything now, I’m buying quality.
 
 Dustin had never gone to the Coke Museum so we went there next!  The best part?? The Taste Room!!  Apparently, Coca-Cola now makes chocolate milk and we loved it!
 
We drove around a lot, ate too many cupcakes from Sprinkles (our new favorite), and enjoyed planning our next trip to Atlanta!!
 
I hear there’s snow in the forecast, again, this week.  Hopefully, I’ll get around to doing a post about our insane amount of snow last week.  Where are you warm weather?
