When you first buy a house you have all the stuff you “Have” to do, unpacking, getting necessities like a water hose and sprinkler, hooking up your washer and dryer and all that stuff. Well this weekend I got to do the fun part of buying a new house. My mom and I went shopping on Saturday for things we “needed” (and yes, Jonathan, they were needed) for the house. We struck gold! We went to the all time favorite, hobby lobby and everything we bought was 50% off–yes you heard it right–50% off! Then we went to Bed Bath and Beyond and we still had some gift certificates left from our wedding and used some of them there. I got home and of course, put them all out and up on the walls and they look great….well I don’t have much on the walls yet, just set out where I might put them. Saturday night Kara and Tim came over for dinner and we played some games while the “children” AKA presley and their puppy Izzy played around the house. Then Sunday we went to church and went to Olive Garden for my brother, Brian’s, birthday and then went back to my parents house for brownies and ice cream. Last night I made some cookies so Jonathan could take them to Entry which was at James and Mary’s house–Entry is a get together where new people at our church can come and learn about Encounter–the history, the beliefs and so forth. While he was there I was getting things done that needed to be done–laundry, cleaning, and then started on a side table for the living room I’m painting. Overall, a great weekend.
