Memorial Day Weekend 2012

Is it really already Wednesday? Hallelujah about that!

We had a fun Memorial Day weekend this year! Our Friday night consisted of dinner at my favorite place (Chipotle) and frozen yogurt from Spoonz for desert. Perfect in my opinion! We also spent a couple of hours shopping around Lowe's...nothing says homeowners like getting excited about shopping at Lowe's! We picked up a new ceiling fan, some more plants, rocks for another landscaping project and a hummingbird feeder. It was a fun night!

Saturday morning we started getting ready for a summer cook-out that evening. I had made a large batch of cupcakes and decorate them quite patriotic to match the occasion! We took some cupcakes over to our new neighbors to officially welcome them to the neighborhood and I felt good about it, I think they loved them! I'm looking forward to getting to know our new neighbors more and becoming friends!

We had Stephen's family over for dinner in the evening and it was delicious! Thankfully the temperature dropped enough for us to enjoy being outside for dinner-it had been HOT during the day!

Above: Louie was so good while we had people at the house. He would just follow me or Stephen around as usual and lay just about anywhere. I'm so glad he is good when we have people around. Such a good pup!

Sunday went a little off schedule. By a little, I mean a lot. You see, during Sunday School I was sick. I felt to hot and just had to get home as soon as possible. Thank goodness I made it out to the car in time because throwing up all over the inside of the church was NOT on my to-do list! We ended up spending the day taking Sunday afternoon naps, sipping on Sprite trying to keep my blood sugar up, and watching movies: The Devil Wears Prada and Eagle Eye. I had heard of other people having a stomach bug recently and I was praying that's what had gotten me! That must have been the case because on Monday morning I woke up hungry and feeling good. I was SO glad it was only a 12 hour bug!

This was Sunday before church and before getting sick:

Monday looked a lot better than Sunday! We blew up the pool and I planned on spending much of my time there soaking up the sun and reading. Let me tell you...it was nice! Monday was another really hot day for Northern IN and our vet had told us not to let Louie outside for longer than necessary. Well, poor pup does not like being left inside while we are outside so we had to come up with something! We would put him in the pool for a quick swim occasionally to keep him wet and cool. I don't know that he loved it, but he didn't seem to mind it at all. Stephen and I both thought it was so cute to watch him swim around, too! After his swims he would run a couple laps around the pool and then crash on his beach towel. Precious!

We spent several hours out by the pool on Monday and it was lovely. I even got a little sun, which was good because I needed some color! :)

All in all it was a great weekend, minus the 12 hour stomach bug-but I'll take it!
