Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Monday, folks! I always wonder how this day gets here so fast...it just seems like the weekend FLY by every week! Agreed? Anyways, we had a great weekend even though we didn't too much. Sometimes the perfect day is a day spent at home in PJ's watching movies...and that's just what we did on Saturday.

First let me start with these:

(I couldn't decide which photo I preferred...the lighting is so different in both!)

The above cupcakes were made for a co-worker's birthday last week. I have been deemed the cupcake lady at work...which I am totally okay with. It does challenge me to create more creative cupcakes though since I end up making cupcakes for about 15 people's birthday and I don't want them to all be the same. I digress. Karen had told me that her favorite color was green, and I had some of these great frogs so I took it and ran with it. They were a hit and the birthday girl loved them!

Also, these cupcakes had a surprise inside. The surprise went over VERY well. I know for a face that one person ate 4 cupcakes! 4!! :) Apparently Oreos make everyone happy!

Changing gears here...last week was rough. I hadn't been feeling great and I was SO tired. Let's not even talk about work. Stressful? Oh yes! But you know what? God is so good! Last Wednesday when I was having a pretty horrible day, I came home to some unexpected fun mail from my friend Brooke. She had sent me the sweetest note and the cutest salt and pepper shaker for my collection:

Isn't she the best?! It brought a smile to my face and made my horrible day not so bad!

Okay, now onto this weekend! Remember I mentioned not doing anything on Saturday? Well, that's what we did. We spent Saturday at home cleaning the house and watching movies. It was so nice! I think Louie really liked it too-he got lots of cuddle time!

Sunday was kind of a busy day for us. We had to teach Sunday school at our church and then leave right after to make it to Stephen's parents church for a special board meeting. Stephen is still a member of that church because we have not officially joined the church we go to, so he needed to bet here for an important vote. Afterwards we got lunch at The Siding with Stephen's Mom & Dad. It was a little cold outside, but at least it was sunny! Lunch was yummy and filling!

After lunch we had plans to get ice cream...and boy did we. Stephen got the death by chocolate milk shake and I got this massive strawberry shortcake sundae:

I told you it was massive!! While eating our ice cream we headed to 7 Pillars; the place of our engagement.

The water was really, really low. I'm actually not sure if I have ever seen it that low. I could walk out almost to the middle of the river and still be standing on stones. It was pretty neat to be able to look up and down the river....I liked it!

Me standing in the middle of the river and freezing, it was windy and colllld:

After that adventure we headed home for some R&R time. We watched the end of Star Wars Episode 6 and The Proposal. I can now say that I have seen all the Star Wars movies, and on a more shocking note; that I actually enjoyed them! Haha, who am I?!?

And that wraps up our weekend!

How was yours?
