Weekend Wrap Up :)

{No pictures in this post, sorry!}

I realize I am a couple days late in posting this, but I already had posts scheduled and just thought I would go with it! As always, we had a very busy weekend. I must say that I am looking forward to a weekend where we can stay home and not have to be anywhere at a specific time...aghh, that sounds lovely! We got TONS accomplished during our busy weekend this time, and if you know me; you know that makes me happy :)

Friday, I came home from work with a horrible migraine. After taking a nap on the couch in the dark and taking a serious dose of some headache medicine I was ready to go. Sadly, our original plans to see a friends band was cancelled (because of the previously mentioned migraine) but we did head to Maria's for some grub, went shopping to fill our Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes and then explored the newest grocery store here. We actually had a good Friday evening, followed with some awesome Friends when we got home. I just LOVE that show!

Saturday morning we were up relatively early to head to our niece Emma's gymnastics meet. We actually made it to our destination early and with some time to spare we headed to Hallmark, which was right near the gym. Oh my! This Hallmark was like my heaven, and it was so huge! We only had 20ish minutes to spend in there, but I think I could have spent over an hour. I am not exaggerating when I say it was huge, it really was. It definitely put Gretchen's in Fleming Island to shame...amazing!

Emma did great in her meet and it was really fun to watch. Not quite the same energy level as a cheerleading competition, but really interesting and exciting. I do believe I was more into the meet than Stephen though, who was playing Solitaire on his phone when I looked over :) After the meet when we got home, I got busy! I was able to put pictures in all of our empty frames...this took awhile! Also, the spare bedroom was rearranged to make room for a bed! WOOHOO!

Sunday morning we took our shoe boxes to church and then drove back to town to look for a new mattress. After laying on a couple in the warehouse, we found one; and for a great deal! Instantly I was looking forward to a better nights sleep on our new mattress. I was thinking we would have to wait until next weekend to pick it up, but no! The store could actually deliver it on Sunday. What a blessing! After running around to finish up things for the day, we beat the delivery man home; thankfully! Lots more happened after that too! At the end of the weekend we had:
  • rearranged the spare bedroom
  • baked a delicious pumpkin pie
  • filled all the photo frames in the apartment
  • purchased a new mattress
  • had the new mattress delivered
  • put the old mattress in the spare room
  • bought and put bedding on the spare room bed
  • completed a lot of Christmas shopping :)
  • got a good night sleep and woke up feeling refreshed!
I almost forgot to tell you that I also did a successful craft project. I got the idea from a blog that I follow and decided to give it a try. It worked! The details and product cannot be revealed because a lot of my friends and family may be getting them for Christmas, but you can share in my excitement!

Sounds like a productive...and tiring weekend to me! We are looking forward to relaxing next weekend and maybe have a game night with some out of town friends :) Should be good! Have a great hump day and rest of the week!

I have struggled with migraines for months now and I realized the only way they go away is when I exercise. Who wants to exercise when they have a migraine and can't move!? Ha, but seriously when I force myself to get up and sweat, it goes away. The doctor said because there is a chemical in our brain that causes migraines, but when you exercise it get released, thus relieving the migraine. Anyways, this was a really long comment, but I'll pray for your migraine!
