A Good Day

Today was a good day.  It was one of those days that seemed to last forever, but in a good way.  We were busy with chores this morning - me cleaning and the hubs doing yard work.  It felt good to give the house a good once-over.  To me, there is just something so refreshing to sit down knowing your house is spic and span clean!  Of course with two dogs in the house the clean feeling didn't last for long. 

Brandon spent almost all day outside.  He mowed, cleared out the old mulch from the flower beds, conditioned the soil with peat moss, scattered some weed preventive stuff, pulled out the grill and organized the garage a little bit. 

We had his parents and sister and brother-in-law over for dinner tonight, so I had to make a run to the grocery store for last minute items and spent the rest of the afternoon cooking and preparing for dinner.  They wanted to go to church on Saturday so Brandon's dad could maximize his time working on Justin and Ashley's basement, so we all decided to meet at our church tonight then we came back to our house for dinner.

I meant to take pictures of our evening, but I forgot.  We had a hot peach cheese ball dip for an appetizer, brisket, twice baked potatoes, green beans and salad for dinner and then Brandon's mom made a yummy strawberry shortcake dessert. 

After dinner, we all piled in the truck and headed to Lowe's.  Justin and Ashley needed some items for their basement and Brandon welcomes any opportunity to go look at tools.  I always find lots of items that I want for a future house like kitchen cabinets, new appliances, etc.

Now, we are just hanging out watching some movie on TV and thankful we get to sleep in tomorrow since tonight we Spring Forward!  I'm so thankful for days like today because it was simply a good day!
