We are leaving this weekend for Fripp Island, and I absolutely cannot wait. It will be so nice to have a break from work, house projects, and other commitments for a week!
I was hoping after I made it through the weekend of the lingerie shower, bridal tea, and Travis’s birthday that things would slow down a little bit, but they really didn’t too much. Friday night, we had a get-together at Gena’s to help Alisha get some wedding-related stuff done. It was a lot of fun! We ate some yummy food and got a lot of programs (mostly) finished!

Saturday, we spent most of the day working on installing our new garage door opener. I was pretty nervous about it because (a) neither of us had done that before and (b) the instruction manual was like 40 or 50 pages long. Never good. We made some good progress on Saturday, but didn’t get finished. We finished the night by eating supper at Outback (sort of a late birthday celebration for Travis) and then (*old married couple alert*) going grocery shopping at Publix. It was almost like old times back in Tuscaloosa when Travis used to go to the store with me and push the buggy while I picked out items and handed him the coupons…haha :)
Sunday was a busy day with church, lunch at Baugay’s, and helping various family members (we got a lot of wedding invitations addressed!) :)
On Monday, I worked 12 hours, which I usually never do anymore. I am usually an 8 hour girl, but I volunteered to come in early because we were going to be short staffed in the morning. Remind me never to do that again..haha. I was SO TIRED by the time I got home. Then we worked on the garage door opener that night and finally got it finished Tuesday night after I got home from work. It was a great feeling to push the button on the wall and watch it open the door :) I have to say I was a little nervous before we tested it out that the whole thing would either crash to the ground or blow up in smoke. Luckily, neither of those things happened!

Today flew by in a whirlwind. I had to get some bloodwork drawn this morning, so I went to do that first thing since I couldn’t eat before I went. Then I had to drink this nasty sugary Gatorade stuff and come back in 2 hours for more bloodwork. Bleh. In between vampire blood-sucking sessions, I went to CVS where I got a razor and a 12 pack of Pepsis for 32 cents…whoop whoop! I also got deodorant and eye liner for $2.36 in my second transaction. I was pretty happy! I also fed Toby and watered the plants at Cheryl’s since she, Emily, and Melissa are camp, went shopping at Kohl’s and Target, worked out at the gym, and went to the Republican Women’s lunch with Baugay to hear my uncle Gary speak. He did a great job! He talked about what’s been happening in the state legislature recently, and it made me realize that I really am not very informed about politics and current events at all. I need to do better at keeping up in the future.
Tomorrow I have another doctor’s appointment in the morning followed by (hopefully) cleaning the whole house and making cookies to take to Fripp. Then, Friday I’m working and we’ve got a graduation party to go to that night. We’ll probably be packing at midnight Friday night, but oh well! It’s fun to be busy, but it’ll also be a nice change to be a bum for a few days. Hope you’re having a great evening!
