Whirlwind Weekend

This past weekend was a whirlwind. It flew by quicker then I ever would have imagined possible.

Friday afternoon, I picked Ben up at the Amtrak station, and for the second time that I am aware of the train was on time. (We have discovered that the train is a inexpensive, and relaxing way for Ben to get across the state.) We had to quickly get ready for Aaron (Raul) and Sarah's engagement party at the Happl Home. Ben had a great time reconnecting with friends that he had not seen in a few weeks.

Saturday morning we headed over to David and Kerri's to help them load their POD. When we first got there I think everyone greatly questions if their entire town home would fit inside the POD. By a miracle of God and very strategic packing we were able to help them get everything they wanted into the POD. That thing is really amazing, it fit much more then you think it will. We ate lunch there and hung out for a bit. Then my amazing husband took me shopping for some new dressy pants. After just 3 stores we found some that was just what I was looking for. We quickly put them on hold so we could run to the movies. (Ben's choice -- time for him to relax -- I was being a good wife then). After the movies, we met up with friends to celebrate Sara's birthday at Yard House. It was another great time to fellowship with friends.

Sunday morning was church and somehow we slept until 10:20, church starts at 11. YIKES!!! We did make it. After a great message, we headed to Bob and Dawn's place for some lunch and more hang out time. Then back to the mall to get the pants that we had put on hold. Finally, some down time at our house and some basic homeowner work. like removing the rest of hurricane shutters that I had put up several days/weeks before. We ended the day with goodbye dessert with D & K.

As I mentioned it was a whirlwind weekend. I took Ben back to the train station on Monday morning and he is back working on the house of the rest of this week.
