Still Recovering from the Weekend!

This weekend was a busy one! It seems like the busy weekends fly by...without nearly enough time to relax from the hectic week. Friday Drew got off work late. Apparently his group is swamped and so he has to stay until things get finished, so instead of leaving work at 2:30, he didn't leave until almost 4! By the time he got home, it was time to cook dinner and start tackling the remaining cleaning/unpacking of the house. We cleaned and moved things for a little while and I was just exhausted so we quit for the night. Of course, that meant there was a lot of work left for Saturday.

We spent most of the morning and afternoon getting things in order. It was a ton of work, but our house looks awesome now! I will have to take some pics and put up, I would love to scrap them now that the house is tidy! By the time we finished cleaning, it was time to start dinner. Of course, we needed extra crescent rolls so Drew went to the store while I cooked...I didn't realize until he was already through at the store that we also needed sloppy joe seasoning. Luckily, he wasn't too far from the store so he was able to turn around and get it for me.

Just our luck, a little before 6 when Lindsey and Travis were supposed to be at our house, she called to see if Travis's sister could tag along. Apparently she came into town and asked if she could go so she didn't have to stay home alone. We agreed and she came along. We had a fun night eating dinner and dessert (ice cream with brownie batter on top...which was an accident. Lindsey brought the brownies and told us just to keep them warm in the oven, we didn't realize they weren't baked yet and an hour and a half in the oven at 170 doesn't bake them, so they weren't finished by the time it was time to eat dessert!). We also played Phase 10, but unfortunately didn't get to finish the entire game before they had to leave to go meet some other friends who were coming in from out of town. Hopefully next time we can have longer to play games and be able to play more than 1 game!

After they left, we took Elf out on a walk. As we were coming back into the house, the neighbors spotted us and came over to talk. We spent about an hour and a half outside meeting and talking to a bunch of our neighbors. Apparently, they are all married and close to our age and they get together to hang out every weekend and cook out a bunch during the summer. We got invited to come hang out with them, but it was already almost 11 and I was exhausted from working around the house all day, so we passed.

Sunday we went grocery shopping. We went to Costco and stocked up on some stuff and then hit the HEB since they were having a major meat sale...ground beef, bone-in chicken breasts, and shank ham all for $1 a pound. We stocked up on meat and hopefully have enough for at least the next month. I've been cooking more, which is good. My goal is to cut our eating out to only 2x a month instead of 1-2x a week like we were. All the extra money we can save now with the baby on the way will help!

I guess that's the highlights of our weekend. This week has been rather boring so far. Drew worked late again last night but that's about it.

Since I'm trying to upload all my layouts, here are some older ones:
