Great Weekend!

I am such a homebody, I just like to hang out at home on the weekends, have a couple drinks, have friends over, cook, or whatever - just be at home. This weekend though was pretty packed! We had some friends over Friday night (Sew I wish you would have come!) and went to eat Mexican and Saturday night was a benefit downtown in the square, Mud Bug Bash, benefiting a local children's home. My parents own a wine store and they were sponsors for the event so we got free tickets, and who can pass that up? My family and friends came over for a drink and some apps then we walked to the square and had such a great time! Sometimes we just need to forget our problems and just have fun. Well I am ready for bed now at 6:15 (in my defense I just finished a 4 miles walk for our priest who died of Hodgkins Lymphoma a few years ago) but I am glad we were able to enjoy some good friends, family, and fun.

  5. You are so pretty, I love your house (without paint and all), and that sounds like just the perfect weekend! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)

    I got your comment about adoption agencies- I have some others that I know are good...feel free to email me and I can pass a few more names along to you to take a look at- graceinmyheart@gmail.com. The one you mentioned I've heard has kinda long wait times....we have a friend who just recently switched from them cause she and her hub have been waiting for about 2 yrs. Just something to think about! Have a great week!
