I am exhausted after a busy weekend, but before I settle in to watch the NCAA championship (read as "pass out on the couch") I wanted to write an update.
Friday: After a long day of work, I came home to cook Ryan a delicious dinner for his birthday: homemade fettuccine alfredo and rice krispie treats (he doesn't like cake much - and yes I put candles in the rice krispie treats;) I had awoken him in the morning with his gift: a tool box with a couple tools and his favorite candy inside. So all that was left to do was relax on the couch watching our favorite shows. It was a good night:)
Saturday: We started Saturday with some house cleaning, then headed to Village Inn for a hugely full-filling brunch. You know I love my breakfast food! Next, we ventured to Home Depot and purchased a lawn mower, rake, hose, and gardening supplies including tomatoes and green beans for our garden! After some outside time enjoying the weather, while Ryan assembled the mower and I planted my tomato seeds, we called it quits for the day and watched the final four games.
Sunday: Ryan got up early to mow the yard (we found out just how bumpy and patchy it is:( and I did a few loads of laundry. Then we made the trek out to Nebraska Furniture Mart where we got a cool chair and coffee table for the living room, and good ole' Wal-mart where we got a surprisingly nice TV stand and entry-way table. After taking a break to assemble the entry-way table (looks great!), we went down to the AMC theater for dinner and a movie at Fork and Screen. We saw Source Code with Jake Gyllenhaal. It was getting pretty good reviews and for good reason. I, myself, would not have gotten too excited about it, but it was better than I expected. The whole concept was very interesting and kept me guessing. Though toward the end of the movie I thought we were going to have to take cover from a tornado for a second...apparently a hail storm went through KC. Don't think we got any up where we live, no damage to be seen, thank goodness.
Well, that was our lovely new-homeowner-weekend. Now I'm struggling with allergies and hoping it doesn't turn into something else as strep is going around the center. Bleh. Tomorrow morning, Ryan is off to Georgia with his dad to watch one of the Master's practices. Lucky dog. He gets back sometime on Thursday, and I will be eagerly awaiting his arrival, probably bored out of my mind. :)
Look at you homeowners! How sweet it is to have your own yard to care for, am I right? You'll have to let me know how your vegetable garden is coming along...I've always been ambitious to think up a garden, just never good at materializing it. Hope Ryan had a good birthday! Make sure he says "Hi" to GA for us ;-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you two are really settling in to owning your own home! Isn't it fun? I can't wait to see it! We spent a lot of time outside this weekend too, but I'm finding that my big belly prevents me from doing some of the things I enjoyed last year...like mowing and gardening...anything where I have to bend over much (ha!).
