Memorial Day Weekend

Whoops, didn't post for over a week... I think we all have those "life is super busy and I don't have time to do much extra" weeks. However, sometimes in the past week I have had time, but I've either been asleep or glued to the book I'm reading. Anyways, this 3 day weekend has been great and I loved it! 

 On Friday, after work I came home to change and then went to get ready for the after graduation party for our county. I am a part of the Drug Free Community Coalition so I participated in this event, the purpose of the event is to give teens a fun, safe environment, drug free, to celebrate and party after graduation.  There was a huge inflatable that was a foam dance party, laser tag, airbrush tattoos, a photo/video booth, game room, DJ, etc.  They also gave out some pretty incredible prizes. I worked the event from 9-2am (well 6-2 if you could set up). Preston also volunteered... we were both wiped out by the time we got home. 

Saturday morning, as you can imagine, I enjoyed sleeping in for a while...which I haven't done in a long time. Then it was off to the graduation party venue to clean, which surprisingly wasn't bad. Later I felt pretty rested, but must not have been since I took a nap that afternoon, which was also glorious.  By the evening I felt motivated to get things done around the house, laundry, mopping, dusting, you know.."the works".  I was satisfied with my cleaning that evening and called it a night shortly afterwards. 

Sunday I had only planned to go to church and then home, but my mom asked before church what my plans were for the day... I didn't have anything I really needed to do since I had finished everything the night before so it was an impromptu trip to my parents' house for the day.  I was able to visit with family and layout on a float in the pool for about 3 and a half hours, score!  After a good amount of time in the sun, I visited with my grandparents for a while and headed back home, arriving shortly after 10pm. It was so great to set my alarm clock later than normal for a Monday morning! 

Monday I was happy to sleep in again, this time until 9:30.  We had Nana and Pawpaw over for lunch, complete with a hot fudge cake, all I can say is YUM! We enjoyed time with them at our house and then headed to the greenhouse. Nana got a couple of hanging baskets and I got a few flowers to plant in our flower beds. After getting home, we got our petunias and marigolds planted and then I enjoyed reading on the front porch.  Preston and I spent the rest of the evening at home and grilled shrimp and veggies for dinner, yum! 

Our Memorial Day weekend was spent with family and much needed time at home, nothing too crazy or exciting, but exactly what we needed.  Hope everyone has a great week!
