William and I have had the best weekend just being with each other and relaxing. I was off work Friday so I was able to get some stuff done around the house and for myself. I put dinner in the crockpot and I ran errands, got a haircut, and PICKED UP MY WEDDING DRESS!! I just ordered it last week when mom and grandma were here and they expected it to arrive in December. Well, friday morning I received an e-mail that it was here and I went to David's Bridal, tried it on, got really excited, and brought it home! I don't need any "alterations" except for a bustle for the train. Is that how you spell it? Anywho I was able to move the appointment up to next week and then they'll keep it for about 6 weeks. I just cannot wait to wear it! Saturday I got another e-mail that my veil was in...I guess I should have waited a day to pick up the dress but the store isn't far from our house so its okay.
Saturday night we went to the gym and then tried this new restaraunt by our house. Everytime we pass it we say "hmm we'll have to try that" and we are SO glad we did. It was delicious. William got chicken parmesan and I created my own pasta! It was so much food (for a reasonable price) that we had our leftovers for dinner last night. Yesterday we tried a new church that isn't too far from our house and we liked it the best by far! After church we went to Panera Bread for lunch, made a trip to the dollar tree, and went to the gym again. It has been so much fun just relaxing and doing what we want to do!
On a sidenote: We have been in Winston Salem since July 10th. Since then we have attended THREE funerals. THREE....since July. William has a great singing voice (and loves to use it ALL the time--lol J/k--sort of!) and so he is always asked to sing for the services. His great aunt has been sick for a while and she just died last night so at some point this week he will be traveling home (as long as its a day when he doesn't have required classes). We were talking last night and this will be more funerals in a 5 month period than i have ever attended in all my other years. I will most likely not be able to go with him for this one though because it would really throw everything in a whirl at work. Hopefully this will be the last one for a while....
Wow, that is a lot of funerals. I'm sorry to hear about William's great aunt.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I'm so excited that you got your dress! I bet you are excited! And I completely understand what you mean about just doing what you want to do. Its nice to not have to keep busy while William studies, isn't it?! (AND I love the new background!!)
