the weekend

Most of you know, my weekend starts usually on Saturdays... Mine started off hanging with my mom and little ones, running around and looking to buy a gift for one of my nephews, along the way we picked up some Valentines for my kiddos. Afterwords, my mom volunteered (ok, I volunteered her) to watch the little ones so my man and I could enjoy a night out. I was surprised with a beautiful bunch of roses - my favorite!! - and some yummy chocolates which I shared with everyone. My sweetheart and I enjoyed a long night out, and ended up getting everyone home and tucked in bed by around two, I think. Sooo.... church came a little early the next day. My man is now the main bass player in the mornings, he missed the message telling him so, so he missed that morning's practice, but he pulled through all right! After rushing around once again, grabbing lunch and whatnot, we managed to get home in time to watch the big race. It was... interesting... and we were afraid that we were going to have to miss the last laps, but the rain came down just in time to leave for the evening services. We watched a slideshow from the trip some of our members took to Haiti. I do believe that since our church is "young" and has only been around for five years, that this is the first of many trips to that country. It was humbling to hear the stories and enjoyable at the same time. We went out for dinner after church and spent some family time together. I am so thankful for my family!! Yesterday, we went to a birthday party. My bro and sis-in-law rented out a bouncy-house inflato-play place and my crew and I were running around like a bunch of crazies.. which we are!! We had a good time. And even though we were all tuckered out, my hubby and I stayed up late watching a documentary on the past 50 years of Daytona 500 history. It was a really good movie. We laughed, I cried, we learned quite a bit that we didn't know. So now I'm left to start my chores... ugh... but it's got to be done... It seems as though this entry was even longer than my weekend... so if you made it through all the way to the end. Good job! :)
