Weekend Wrap-Up

Well, it is Sunday evening and time to write our weekend wrap-up.  No pics from the weekend, but maybe I will find a way to fit them in once I receive them.

By Friday night, we were both so exhausted that we ordered pizza and settled in for a night of TV that was piled up on the DVR.  I think our DVR is one thing that I pushed for and Brandon was against for so long and now he probably wouldn't know what to do with out it.  In fact, we have already discussed getting the whole-house DVR once it comes out.

Thankfully, we both slept in a little bit on Saturday morning before heading out in different directions.  Brandon went golfing and I went to my friend Emily's house to work on flower arrangements for her brother's wedding reception that evening.  They got married in California so they used tropical flowers for the arrangements.  I think they turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself.  I will try to post pics soon!

I have been reminded this summer of just how much I love to arrange flowers.  After Brandon's cousin's wedding and now this, I find myself really missing the flower shop.  If it weren't for the crazy hours I would probably get more serious about doing something, but I know I couldn't take the hours for very long.  I wouldn't mind doing a few special events on the side throughout the year, though.  It might be a good way to make a little extra cash ;)

Later in the day, we headed over to a wedding reception BBQ for my friend Kourtney who got married in Hawaii in May.  She and her husband are both doing their med school rotations so we haven't gotten to see much of them since they moved to town so it was great to be able to celebrate with them last night.  It was a pretty steamy evening, but we still had fun catching up.

Today was a pretty low-key day.  Church, lunch, chores around the house, errands and dinner.  I did make this cake:

I had some bananas that were on their way out so I decided they needed to be used rather than thrown out and this cake was the perfect way to do that.  I did not frost it with the chocolate ganache and I'm glad I didn't.  It is pretty rich as it is and I think the ganache would have just put it over the edge.   

So, there you have it - our weekend in a nutshell.  I have to go to the dentist bright and early tomorrow so I better go brush extra good and floss twice!
