What a fun weekend! Friday, Brent and I ate lunch and then headed out to find gifts to give his internship committee. We kind of went in circles, but finally found what we needed. That evening, we ate dinner at PF Changs, which was actually not bad. I was worried since I don't like Chinese. But, it was a "good" Chinese....you could tell it was more real than most. After dinner, we were off to church to hear the symphony. It was really nice. Long, but nice. Brent said he'd have season tickets if he could....oh boy :) It was fun to chat with Laura. We hope to take Ginnie out bridesmaid dress shopping soon.

Saturday was busy. Brent left early for his track meet. I did a few things around the house, then at 1, went to the Rothschild's for Allison's graduation party. Adam's parents have a really nice home.....with good food inside :) We left the party around 2, Mrs. Miller had a baby shower to attend. I went to the mall to pick up a couple of things, then it was back with the Miller's again at 4pm to attend a wedding. Brent had luckily made it home in time to go with us. It was a beautiful wedding for one of Brent's friends from church. Off to the reception afterwards at Willow Oaks Country Club. It was a really nice place...with some more good food :) It was fun having Ginnie, Bill, Todd, and more people there we knew.

Yesterday, we went to church and had Jubilate practice afterwards....not such a good practice. But, I won't go into that. So, we jetted from church to go to a wedding shower for Stacy and Eric, more church friends :) It was a couple's shower, so it was fun to have more familiar faces...yet, not my favorite food...quiches : { But, lovely, none the less.

It was such a BEAUTIFUL day. I mentioned taking a walk down at Pony Pastures, but once I got home, I changed my mind. So, we decided to pack up and take more stuff to storage. SO MUCH STUFF FOR CHRISTMAS!! If you need any wrapping paper, turns out, I'm the one to call. Then, we went to Kroger and bought steaks, corn, peaches, and salad, and went to the Miller's to make them dinner. Boy, was it good!! His mom made brownies while we ate, so they were ready for us after dinner. We watched the end of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition....so good...yes, there was crying. :)

Overall, it was a really fun, yet busy weekend. But, today is a good day...the first day of my last week at work.

The schedule will be as follows:
Monday: nothing much,
Tuesday: Brent and the Millers head to Furman (left all alone) :( BUT, might hang out with Ginnie to look at wedding stuff or go to the softball game!,
Wednesday: church...wait for everyone to come home...including Betty and Harry,
Thursday: hang out with Betty and Harry,
Friday: LAST DAY AT WORK! Parents, brother, and Brent's grandparents come into town,
Saturday: Graduation! Lunch afterwards at the Millers.

WHEW! I'm going to be ready for a few days of nothingness next week! Also, so that I can enjoyably celebrate my birthday! :) :)

Hope you all are enjoying your Monday...Julie and I are doing lunch out today. Hopefully, I'll be good and not eat too badly. We'll see....! I'm going to try to eat better, but with the beach coming up, that is going to be hard! :) LATER!
