Weekend Run-Down

Know what I love best about Sundays?

Not getting up at 4:30 tomorrow morning

and making a 45 minute commute!

I love waking up with the husband,

making breakfast,

ironing his clothes,

and spending a short, but sweet amount of time

before his insane work week begins.

Friday 

We made gourmet Sirloin burgers on the grill

(forgot to add the cheese, so there has to be a re-do!)

The workers have ripped out half of the old deck

and the old hot tub I've never even been in!

It's a beautiful sight...

We walked the doggies on a fun little trail near our house.

We are going to try and find a new park each week;

we shall see!

We picked up our custom framed

painting we bought in Rome, on our honeymoon

and hubs hung it

in the kitchen, where I can see it 

most often, each and every day!

I love the pinks and reds...

I love all of it actually.

He also hung our new curtains

{pardon the wrinkles, I need to iron!}

And we did get that new throw rug!!

We went and caught a 7:00 movie

The movie was just how I thought it'd be--

a great throwback to '99

the year I graduated too!!

It was stupid funny and had

my husband and I cracking up throughout the show.

It was just what we needed.

Saturday

Hubs worked all day

The weather was pretty nice here,

so I spent about 2 hours raking and cleaning up the front gardens.

I am so sore!
Who knew working outside was such a workout!!

Now ladies, I do not have a green thumb...

I believe I inherited it from my mother!

[How are those moldy herbs? 

Did you try Maria's seed trick??]

However, I have grown to be much better as I

continue to play in the dirt. 
We still need to mulch and I cannot wait to

buy some puurddy flowers for some planters,

that will go on our new back deck!
eeeeeeeeeeek!

I can hardly wait.

I had hubs pick up some pork chops

and he grilled them up for our dinner.

Apple Slather BBQ sauce = a party in my mouth.

After our delicious dinner, 

we watched a movie:

It was rather cute.

I didn't want to cry, but I did.

Joe did too.
Don't tell him I told you!

Sunday 

As always,  family day!!

We gave my in-laws a huge old picnic table

{for their awesome land, that I can't wait

til they have their big brick oven for wood fired pizzas!}

Grabbed breakfast bagel sandwiches and coffee

and took a little drive.

We stopped out at his Gram's house to say hello,

see everyone,

check on the Garage Sale

{I scored some more things for the bridal

shower I'm throwing my sis!!}

and enjoy some ol' fashioned pasta & meatballs.

So good.

We also looked around for some outdoor furniture,

but it is SO darn expensive!

Do we want a little 'hangout area' with a little couch

and table with chairs,

or an actual table to sit and eat.

OK, really I want both and a lounge chair,

but this deck is already costing a pretty penny!

So, any thoughts?

While we didn't find any furniture at Tarjay,

I did find some cute new jean shorts & some maxi dresses

{Thanks for the tip Amber!!}

Super comfy, cute, and it's the easiest outfit to put on. 

 Hubs is playing COD

and I'm ready for bed!
