Catching Up

Behind once again.


Saturday we spent the day in Villa Grove with Jacob's family. Rachel and Micah were in town too, so it was really nice to get to see them again. We all hung out at the house for awhile and we watched "UP" since Rachel and Micah still hadn't seen it. Man, I love that movie.

We went up to Ag Days to get some lunch and Kent and Brenda treated us to pork burgers. Yum!

We saw Janet and Cecile while we were there and we got to talk to them for a little while too. We walked around, but didn't stay too long.

When I saw this I was like, "You can't NOT take a picture of a sign like this!"

Later in the afternoon we went over to Grandma Sally's because Jacob's, Aunt Stacey and cousins were visiting from Minnesota. with their little girls Naomi who's 2 and Addie, who's 1. It was fun getting to meet them. The girls were a little shy towards us since they didn't know us. I think if we had been around a little longer they would have warmed up. They had fun dancing to Jacob playing the drums on an oatmeal container though. I stupidly forgot my camera over and Kent and Brenda's though, so I didn't get any pictures of them.

We went back to the house for supper, which was delicious. Grilled burgers, sweet corn, baked beans and chip. Plus I had a very small slice of dessert. I'm proud of myself for staying strong around desserts because those are a huge downfall for me.

Then we headed back to Taylorville around 9:00 after the end of the Cardinal game.

Sunday we went to church and then I went shopping in Springfield. I spent most of my time at Target buying some gifts for a couple of my friends who are having babies in the very near future! I had fun because I love the baby sections at stores. I steered clear of Babies R Us for the reason. I would've been there the entire afternoon! I also went to Michael's and Barnes and Noble. I would've done more shopping but I was tired so I just headed home.

Yesterday at work I texted Jacob and told him I wanted to do something nice for the Bates' and suggested we treat them to pizza. I'm so glad that we did too because we all got to hang out for quite awhile last night and it was nice just getting to visit with them. I'm really thankful for their friendship. It's part of what helped me adjust to life here in Illinois. Anyway...now we're just anxiously awaiting a phone call or text to let us know Sandy's in labor. Hopefully it'll be soon for her sake! Plus, I can't wait to meet the little guy. :)

Anyway...that's about all. My car's in the shop again, but at least I didn't have to get it towed this time. And the guy said he looked over everything else and it looks like I should be good for awhile. Here's hoping!
