It's FRIDAY! :) woo hoo!

I have to admit that yesterday I got lost coming home from work. ;) I heard as I was leaving that there was a back-up along my normal route, so I took what I thought would be an easy alternative. But, because I came into it a different way, I missed the exit I needed. Therefore, after having to pay 2 - 50 cent tolls, I came to a road that I had heard of, and been on before, yet did not know how to get home from. Luckily, I saw a sign for Pony Pastures, this area along the James River at which I used to go take pictures. So, I was able to follow those signs, finally coming to an area I recognized. After all of that, I arrived at Collegiate around the same time, if not a couple minutes earlier than normal. But, it cost me a whole dollar....and some dignity :) Note to self: always remember to keep quarters in the car....you never know when you'll need them!

I FINALLY was able to see Brent run hurdles. He did very well. There's no way I could ever run them and survive. We then went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. It was delicious! The Perkins joined us. They are such a fun family. I was SO full afterwards. On our way home I called Ginnie. Her mom answered saying that she bought her wedding dress! How fun! Next, it will be our turn for bridesmaid dresses. I wish I could have gone again. But, I was glad we had fun at dinner :)

As I know everyone has been counting down along with me...you already know that today is the ONE WEEK mark of remaining work days! I'm so afraid I will have forgotten to do something and have to come back to fix it. Let's hope that doesn't happen!

Tonight, we and a few other young adults from church are going to the symphony and PF Changs with the Boddys. It should be a lot of fun. Brent has the state track meet on Saturday. It's downtown. (Benefits of living in the state capital!) The Millers and I are going to stop by Allison's graduation party and then head to the Mayo's wedding. Brent plans to meet us there. Sunday should be pretty normal. I know we have our Jubilate practice since we have to sing the following Sunday. Brent is thinking about going to Furman on Tuesday with his mom to see a concert of Alan's. Betty and Harry will be there, too, then they will all be back in Richmond on Wednesday. I wish I could go, but maybe we'll catch some of his many concerts next year.

It's been raining here all night and still looks yucky outside, but it's good to have a nice cleansing every once and a while. Enjoy your weeked!!!
