Tax Free

William and I have had a wonderful couple of days. First of all, I was off Friday and my BFF Lauryn was headed back to Raleigh from Statesville where her little bro is going to school. Lauryn and her mom met me for lunch at the mall and I definitely forgot to take a picture so here is a random pic of them:


After lunch we wakled around the mall and I was reminded that it is tax free weekend. Even though you only save like $4.00 it makes me feel accomplished! LOL I have really been wanting an apron because I cook ALOT and I always ruin whatever I'm wearing. We went to Kirklands and this apron called my name! (they didn't have a "J" so I got an "H" for my soon-to-be last name!)

After we departed, William got home from a LONG day of school and we headed out to meet two of our friends from Campbell. We had a great dinner and came back to our apartment to play games and of COURSE I forgot to take a picture....I really need to work on that.

I had to work Saturday morning so once I got home William and I had tons of errands and tax-free things to do! Our top priority was a haircut. I had not had one since before Africa and William's hair just grows like a weed in general. We found a cost cutters (which is where I got my hair cut in garner) not to far from our house. Lucky for us it was their grand opening so our haircuts were $4.99!!! It wasn't tax free but it was enough sale for us! Later saturday night we went to the mall and ate at TGI Fridays! (When I do manage to take pics they are of terrible quality!)

It was SUPER good for some reason! We walked around the mall, went and saw a late movie, and got home around 12:00 am. Needless to say, that was the best sleep I think I've had in Winston so far! Sunday we woke up and I fixed a big breakfast, complete with chocolate chip pancakes!
William studied for a few hours in the morning and then we went tax-free shopping again! Our biggest tax-free accomplishment was getting William some new shoes! His sperries are a cajillion years old so at Shoe-Carnival (which was buy one get one half off) we got him a new pair of sperries and a pair of Ralph Lauren polo shoes! We also got this cleaner for sperries in case they are dirty or scratched and it was all $84.00!

We have had so much fun this weekend just spending time together and looking around Winston. Hopefully William's school week and my work week wont be too hard on us!
