LINDSAY

last weekend i ventured to salt lake with my good friend Kiley.  We had multiple purposes: 1). ikea  2). some much-needed girl-time without the kiddos  3). two of our favorite friends live in salt lake city [leslie and nancee] and we wanted to see them.

so, off we went and we had a great time.  a little about the trip:

. we finally got our eyebrows waxed by nancee!  she truly is the best and was willing to pull out the ol’ wax at 10pm as we were driving in to town.

. we had some quality time with nancee and leslie – we love and miss them!

. we ate yummy food and were actually able to hold a conversation with each other.

. we spent almost 5 hours at ikea.  this was the original purpose of our little adventure – kiley and i both had spaces to fill in our house so we had FUN!  We had ALOT of stuff at the end.  I’ve been collecting Ikea gift cards for years so it was fun to finally use them ALL!  Pictures of the purchases coming soon.

. we saw a chick flick: Life as we Know It.  Fun movie!

. we stayed at the Andrus Hotel.  It was great to see you Ryan, Les, Millie & Tyler!  Thanks for your hospitality [again].  The Griffeth hotel is awaiting your arrival this winter.

. We had a wonderful weekend away!  I’m ready for our next one.

WES

this weekend, Wes took a little adventure to Georgia for his highschool buddy Chris’ wedding.  It was fun for Wes to see Chris and the many, many people from his years growing up in Georgia.

He also got to spend Saturday with his parents which he truly enjoyed – he rarely, if ever, gets time with just them anymore.  And he got to see his sister and her cute family for a brief moment on Sunday morning before he flew home.

Wes and I both appreciated some time to get away and do something fun and different without the kiddos.  And we also were both reminded of how nice it is to have each other around at home!  I’m used to being a single-mom during the week but the weekend was a lot harder without our daily routines and with church to deal with!

Come to Alabama and shop with me at IKEA...the store is a little overwhelming for someone like me...but if I have someone who knows what they are doing it would help!

Just barely seeing this - so glad you guys came and that I got to spend some time with ya'll. My favorite part was the stash of gifts I was spoiled with (thanks again by the way!!), and getting out without children - woohoo! Can't remember tha last time I stayed up 'til midnight 2 nights in a row. :) Good times, and this better be an annual thing!
