Our uneventful weekend...

Well, my last uneventful weekend for awhile is coming to a close. I just woke up from a 2 hour nap, and I probably won't be getting another one of those for at least a month! We didn't do much this weekend. We prepared for Ike on Friday night. We moved all of our patio furniture, grill and other outdoor stuff into the garage. I had mentally decided I wasn't getting out of the house on Saturday b/c of Ike. Yeah, big.fat.mistake. Ike was absolutely nothing but a measly rain storm for us. I don't even think we got more than 1/2" of rain. We do have friends in Houston who rode out the storm. If power isn't restored by Tuesday in my good friend Kori's neighborhood, she is going to come see me here in Dallas. Her parents' house just has some missing shingles, downed fence and trees, but no MAJOR damage. Our thoughts go out to all those who experienced the full strength verison Ike and who are now picking up the pieces from the jerk.

Today, we did the normal routine. Got up, went and ate breakfast, grocery store and then shopped for the house. We now have outdoor landscape lighting which looks great! I failed to get any pictures of my handyman, aka Jason, installing the lighting. He amazes me every day with his skills. We bought a new rug and runner for the living room, and a new lamp for the office.

Our next 3 weekends are pretty hectic. Next weekend Colby has a baseball tournament and it is Jason's birthday. The following weekend is the JDRF walk, Colby's team building activities for baseball, and a big family party at our house (right now...we are expecting 30 people...holy crap!). We are celebrating my mom turning 60, my youngest brother is graduating from the Dallas Fire Academy, and Jason's birthday. The weekend after that, Colby has another baseball tournament and we have a joint bachelor/bachelorette party to go to.
