Early Anniversary Weekend

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

We decided to use this weekend to celebrate our Anniversary because it was the only weekend that Bob was going to have more then one day off. Mom and Dad watched the girls for us from mid Friday to sometime today on Tuesday. A very long free weekend for us. While i enjoy being able to ship them off so we can get a break and rest, i am ready to get my babies back. I miss them very much! Every time i saw a child the whole weekend it made me want to see my girls.

We had a blast on our weekend though!

It started out with going to see Battleship Friday night here in town. I enjoyed the movie, it was good. Then we headed out to go eat dinner.... which was the one mishap this whole weekend. We decided to try Belle Casa here in town, an Italian place. I had looked up reviews on restaurants in town and this one seemed to get high reviews. We had attempted to go to this place before on one of our date nights but when we pulled up and i saw the place i got creeped out to we had left. This time i decided to suck it up and at least try it. That was short lived! To make a long story short, we sat down, ordered and while talk i noticed something crawling on the back of Bobs booth that made my stomach turn. I showed Bob, we both decided to leave. He sent me to the car while he went and told them to cancel our order. Neither of us wanted to be eating at a place with roaches, let alone a place bad enough that they were out and about on the chairs!

My stomach was to badly turned so we took a break from the thought of food for a moment and headed to Dillon's to order me 20 Sundrop Sodas for my rain checks that still hadn't came in. Then we felt good enough to go somewhere else to eat. After that our Pastor and his wife asked if we wanted to go to like Sonic and just sit outside and hang out, so we did. We stayed up till really late just talking and laughing and having a good time.

Next morning we got up fairly early and headed out for a day on the town in Wichita. First stop was the farmers market in old town. That was fun :) Got some fancy noodles and some homemade soap!

Then our day continued... we went to a coffee shop, antiques stores, garage sales, thrift stores, craft stores, some pretty awesome restaurants and a museum. We went to a little cafe that had been featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri, sooooo yummy! It was a ton of walking and my legs were killing me by days end but we had a blast!

Then Sunday we had a great service. Afterwards we went out to Olive Garden for some awesome and free food thanks to Jessica for our gift cards and then we walked around the World Market there in town before headed home.

Once at home i went out and watered my garden, helped Bob put our shade sail back up and he got the wasp trap put up. Then i had seen this picture a long time ago and wanted to do something like that to our fence. Since i managed to buy citronella tea light candles at the World Market we were able to do it.
We got 5 of these suckers put up but we will need a couple more to satisfy me hehe. Looks great though!


By the time we were done outside it was about time to load up in the car and go to the drive in movie theater for our free movie thanks to the church renting out the place for the church. We got to watch the Avengers there, it was pretty sweet!


Then yesterday we just pretty much relaxed here at home. We rented a couple red boxes and watched them. While watching the movies i got to go through my great find i got at a thrift store. They had a bag full of jumbled sewing notions for sale for $3.50. I scoped out the bag and just from what i could i see there was well over $3.50 worth of stuff in the bag. Little did i know until i got into the bag at home that it was a major steal!!! Tons of elastic, mostly until opened, tons of eyelets, tons of good zippers... lots of lace trimmings and measuring tapes, sewing needles... the list goes on. Love those kinds of find! I was just thinking the other day when i was using a ton of my eyelets, which i had purchased at a garage sale, that i wished i could hit the jackpot like i did back then at that garage sale and find another sale with a ton more eyelets.... well i did :) Woot woot!


Then yesterday night the church had a church bbq instead of doing the bible studies on Sunday. So we headed out there. We ended up playing wiffle ball out in the field and yes i attempted to play. I did get on a base a couple times but never scored. At least i tried! LOL


Haaa a really nice weekend!


Now today they girls will be home so i better go in and eat and get to working on the house some... it's not to bad thanks to all my cleaning right before the weekend but there is some dishes and stuff to do.


Can't wait to see my girls!!!! :D
