Weekend Recap

Well, Jacob is officially 28! For his birthday, I left little notes around the house again for him to find just like I did last year. One had some Milky Way's attached to it!

Friday night Jacob got to pick where we were going out to eat. He of course picked Olive Garden, so we left as soon as I got off work so we wouldn't have to wait as long. He wanted to bring his presents along as well. Plus we planned to go shopping so he could use some of his birthday money from the parents. I only got him a couple of things, but let him know that he could pick out one more thing that he wanted.

Olive Garden was delicious as always. The guy who seated us had to be the best I've ever had. He was so nice, and he even pulled out my chair and took my coat off for me. Can't say I've ever had that happen at Olive Garden before. Jacob wanted to open his gifts before our food came. You can't really tell from the pictures, but I used little boy wrapping paper. It was what I had leftover from Jack's birthday! So, it had airplanes and said things like, "Atta Boy!" Haha!

My camera was taking forever, so he's smiling, but getting annoyed!

Reading his card. Once again, I picked well. I love funny cards!

Lost Season 6 on Blu Ray. I was quite proud of this deal. I scored it for $29. (Best Buy is selling it for $64) I sure love Amazon!

Jacob loves puzzles, so I happened to find one of Busch Stadium and ordered it. Little did I know until he opened it that he and his dad were AT the game in the picture! How cool is that?!

After supper we went to Best Buy and looked around and then headed to the "fancy" WalMart. Jacob picked out a few DVDs and then we headed home, snuggled up and watched some of his new shows. A perfect birthday for my wonderful husband!

Yesterday morning I was supposed to go to a Stampin' Up card making party with some friends from church, but the snow ruined our plans. The weather man said a "light dusting."

It didn't accumulate to THAT much, but it was snowing so hard that Sandy couldn't see the road, and it just isn't worth it to risk it. We were all bummed, but now the 4 of us are going to get together for supper and card making on Friday night. I can't wait!

So, I did some organizing and then watched TV for most of the day. Then we went to the Band-a-que at the high school. Good eats and heard all of the bands from 5th grade through high school play. I actually had a lot of fun. We sat by some people from church and I enjoyed getting to talk to Aaren for awhile and play with their little girl.

This morning on our way to church the road was clear until we were only a few miles out of Assumption. All of a sudden the whole road was totally snow covered and we started fish tailing. Thank goodness Jacob is really calm and knows exactly what to do. If he didn't we would have been in the ditch. We actually ended up fish tailing again about a minute later. I can't say I'm a fan!

Church was good today. I was in a more positive mood. I had fun playing with Liam for awhile this morning too. The church was having their Annual business meeting today and Jacob wanted to stay. I had a sense of doom come over me. Here I'm used to Valley View Annual meeting lasting for 2 hours or more...this meeting lasted about 5 minutes! All we did was approve the budget. I've never seen a meeting go so fast. Amen!

Relaxing afternoon and now I'm making some food for the Super Bowl. GO STEELERS!
