How was your weekend?
What did everyone do?
I went home to MD for the weekend and co-hosted a bridal shower. The shower went well. I ate a ton, I think I probably consumed a block of cream cheese from all the dips. We also watched some old home movies of us (bride, bride's sister, me, & my brother) growing up and they were hysterical. The traffic to/from MD was free-flowing, which was a nice surprise. I listened to a book on tape that was terrible - I do not recommend "A reliable wife", fyi. DH had a friend from college visiting, so I was happy for the lack of traffic b/c I was able to make it back in time to spend a few hours with him. So yeah, that's about it. How bout you?
Re: How was your weekend?
Morning Terp!
My weekend was very good. Friday night I went for a nice and hard 5 mile run by myself since DH was doing something with his group of kids from school. I sat down to watch another classic movie, All about Eve, but fell asleep (typical for me).
Saturday I woke up early and went to the Farmers Market to buy most of my produce for the week. One cantaloupe was already eaten by the end of the day--it was REALLY good. Then DH and i went for a ride--it ended up being around 35 miles and on the way home we stopped off to pick up some lunch sandwiches that were DELISH! (Always good stuff from Giacamo's here in GSO). Then, I did some gardening, while Dh went early to his PSU alumni association gathering. I met up with Dh and a few other friends at said gathering and went to sleep.
Sunday, I went to church (haven't been in awhile!) to a new service which was AWESOME!! Finished watching All about Eve which was a GREAT movie, did a little more gardening (got some lettuce seeds in the ground) and then went to bike race and did a few more errands. Went BACK to the bike race, then went to dinner with some cousins that are looking to move down to our area, which was fun.
All in all, a VERY good weekend!!
Well my weekend was not as expected.
Friday night I went over to UNCG for formal sorority recruitment for the collegiate chapter I advise for, got home about 10pm, still cooked dinner and went to bed.
Saturday I wake up and DH tells me he needs to go to Urgent Care. We go, they end up sending him to the ER, and 4 hours and 12 pain pills later, we finally get to eat and go home. Relaxed at home for a bit, waited for DH's pills to kick in and did a little shopping and went to dinner.
Sunday went to the bid day festivities for my collegiates, they got 13 new members! After that I went to DSW and bought me some new shoes since I was sad we didn't get to go to Williamsburg this weekend with the whole hospital debacle. Retail therapy! DH cooked some steaks on the grill for dinner, then we watched our Sunday night shows on HBO.
Friday - Grabbed dinner with hubby at Baba Grill, then went shopping for some clothes
Saturday - 7AM to 7PM EMS shift
Sunday - Grocery shopping and also shopped for a twin size comforter set to take to the station with me for my first 24 hour shift. Then spent the evening over some friends house for bbq and a few beers.
Poor DH got home from NY this morning at 3AM (he was there filming a race) and I had to drop him off at the Airport at 4:45 for a 6AM flight for work.
Friday we went to the Greek Festival.
Saturday we watched the Georigia game then went to my nephews football games, then my sisters 40th birthday party.
Sunday I sang/played at church and then I went to Ashveville to sing/play up there for a youth event. 17 kids accepted christ last night. It was pretty awesome. But I'm crazy tired. It was a long day and I didn't get home until 2:00 am this morning. But it was worth it.
Our weekend was wonderful!!!
Friday - NOTHING....but we got pizza for dinner which is always a sweet end of the week situation.
Saturday - We got ready for the PSU Bama game at 7pm. We had another couple over so I made a huge batch of chili and cornbread. Once the chili was on the stove I went out for a nice long 15 mile ride.
Sunday - We relaxed! DH was going to do a race in Greensboro but decided he wasn't ready for it so we had a disney movie night where we watched Aladdin, Cars, and The Incredibles. It was awesome! haha

What category is your DH? The 1/2 field was relatively small and the pace was amazingly SLOW--I actually got bored watching the race, but they did have a few teams that made a decent showing. If he had any teammates that showed up, he probably would have hung in w/ the peloton at the very least.
BUT I know how nice a movie night is, so it was definitely worth it for you guys for him to stay in!!
I had a great weekend.
Friday: Headed downtown to have a picnic dinner and listen to an awesome band outside. It was great to enjoy the amazing weather
Saturday: Went to the NC Botantical Gardens with my neighbors and their cute kids. Then I had a great run and a relaxing dinner with DH.
Sunday: Church, lunch at Noodles & Company (great restaurant), homework, and then another great run!
I was just happy we were not leaving town this weekend. It seems like we had been traveling a lot so it was nice to be home.
We debated going to Winston-Salem and trying to get into the Duke/Wake game but decided against it due to the weather. Watching the game on tv we made the right choice. It was a crazy game though, I just wish Duke had won. Sat afternoon a local coffee shop was having live music so went to that for a little while. Then I watched the Alabama/PSU game.
Sunday we drove around and looked at neighborhoods/houses trying to figure out where we want to live if we decide to buy next year. Then we game home and watched some NFL games.
