A Lovely Weekend

Despite the crazy weather in Kansas, we had a great weekend!

Friday seemed like the LONGEST day ever at work, but it was capped off by a fun evening bowling with friends.  Because boys are so competitive, we decided to play guys on one lane and girls on the other.  Of course the guys were trying to throw the balls as hard as they could and at one point, they were bowling between their legs.  The girls on the other hand, well, we were doing good to break 100 (or 75 in my case).  By the time we left the bowling alley, the rain had turned to sleet and it was really coming down, and by the time we got back to our side of town, it was snowing :(  I've got to admit, I'm really over the snow now.

We slept in on Saturday since it was a blowing and snowing mess outside!  I finally got in the shower around 10:00 because I had plans to get a pedicure and go to lunch with a couple of friends.  We tried a new pedicure salon and it was a pretty good pedicure and relatively inexpensive.  I chose a fun shade of purple in support of our Cats!  After lunch, I had to run a couple of errands and getting in and out of the car was pretty much awful.  The wind was blowing so hard and it was so cold.  I managed to lug a bag of dog food out of Petco and run in and out of the grocery store in record time so I could get home and change into my warm and snugly sweat pants :)  We spent the rest of the day watching basketball and keeping warm.  We honestly didn't leave the house again.  As for the basketball games, we were definitely pleased with the outcomes!  As I mentioned in my post yesterday, the KU game was so nerve-wracking that I had to do something to occupy my time.  I think KU is a good team, but it does make me happy that they got knocked out of the tournament.  It would have been fun to face them in the Final Four, but not having to face them is okay too!  The night ended with a KSU victory and we are anxiously waiting for Thursday to roll around!!

This morning we headed to church and ran into some friends we hadn't seen in a long time.  In fact, we didn't even know they had started going to our church so it was fun to see them.  Our church just wrapped up a six week series about marriage.  It was a very good sermon series and touched on a lot of topics that are not often touched on from the pulpit.  I applaud our leadership for taking a special interest in the topic of marriage and relationships and hitting on subjects that might not always be "comfortable."

After church we ran a couple of errands, had lunch, played with the pup and took our Sunday afternoon naps (Koby included) :)  Later in the afternoon, my mom stopped through with a special delivery from Crate and Barrel!!  My sister-in-law was nice enough to run to Crate and Barrel to pick up the pillows I had been coveting and my mom was nice enough to bring them back for me!  I can't wait to get this basement all pulled together!!  Beyond all of that, we haven't done much else today, which is okay by me!

**EDIT**
I forgot to mention that I am SOOOOO excited for a new season of Dancing With the Stars, which starts tomorrow!!!  Yes, this show is another one of my guilty pleasures - I just LOVE it!!
