Fabulous 3 Day Weekend Recap!

Wow was last week a busy one!! By Friday, I was super ready for the weekend!! Right now I work on Saturdays so I was really excited that this weekend Kevin and I would have 2 whole days together!!

First of all, Saturday was just a really great day....especially since it might just be the last Saturday I work in a loooonnnnggg time! More on that later though.....

Saturday after work, I met up with Kevin at Kona. We *love* Kona! PS - they have great happy hour specials. ;0





After dinner, Kevin and I headed over to Brix. It's a wine superstore/wine bar. It's a really neat concept and I can't wait to go again!! ....it would be sooo *perfect* for a girl's night!
ps - they have a HUGE beer selection too.....yes, Kevin wanted me to mention that. ;)

Sunday we took a little drive out to our new house....sadly since the weather has been pretty rough, there weren't really any new things....they still say we are on schedule for end of March/beginning of April. Which, I know that time is just going to fly by.....or at least I'm really, really hoping it does! Ha! :)

The site of our future home - I still get super excited every time I see pics or drive by.....yeah, I'm pretty cheesey like that - lol!!


After seeing our house, we took a small drive out to a "facility" where I may soon be working. (Trying to be positive but not jinx things -lol!)


Afterwards we took our little Molly to her favorite bakery! Lol! Who knew I'd be so excited about a dog bakery?!? I guess that's what having a dog does to you though! Ha!!

While we were there we ordered Molly's birthday cake....this is what her cake will look like -
pretty cute huh?!? ....Do you think she's wear a birthday hat?!? I'm hoping the answer is YES! Lol!!


Monday I headed to Parables - it's a great Christian Bookstore. It's H U G E and they have an amazing selection - honestly, I could stay for hours!!


After Parables, Kevin and I headed out to Bass Pro Shops to just look around and while we were there we, of course, HAD to check out their boat selection. We want a boat soooo bad! We won't be getting one any time soon but, I know we'll have one someday. ;)


Hope you had a great weekend too!!

Snow Day

More snow?!? Seriously?!? Yep, that's right! Which meant....another Snow Day for me!! Yay!!!


So...there I was, in the parking lot of doggie daycare place (where I had just dropped Molly off) when I received a call *the* call from my boss!! Woo Hoo!! So, I went in grabbed my puppy and headed out for a fun!



First stop - Long Dog, Fat Cat


It's an all natural pet food store, they have a H U G E variety! The owner super sweet - PLUS, she is from Lithuania....which is where my Dad's side of the family is from!! So neat!!



Then it was off to Molly's favorite place - Three Dog Bakery




After getting Molly a few tasty treats (and playing with Chuckles & Maurice - the resident doggies). We were off to find a super warm (as in - my dog will be going outside in subzero-temps-warm) winter coat....and while we were searching, we came across a pretty cute sweater that we (I) just couldn't pass up! I just *love* it!!!





Once Kevin got home (sadly no, he didn't have a snow day), the fun continued when we headed off to see Avatar!




Hopefully one day *soon* it will get above freezing and maybe some of this snow will melt...but, I'm not going to hold my breath - ha! Lol! :-)

My snow day visitor

How adorable is this snow man???

Do you remember the days of waking up early, turning on the news - hoping, wishing (maybe even praying) your school's name would scroll by - signaling a SNOW DAY!! Yeah.... so that was me this morning....except I was waiting on a call from my boss. Nevertheless, I loved snow days as a kid and I'm soooo glad to have one today!! In case you were wondering, I've already had 2 cups of cocoa (complete with marshmallows) and they probably won't be my last for the day....unless I switch to apple cider - lol! :-D There is just something about hot cocoa and snow that go so well together - don't you think?

On to my visitor news...

Around 10 this morning I looked outside to find this adorable little guy......


And then later I saw him huddled up and shivering near the air conditioning units - it totally broke my heart!! I soooo wanted to help but, I didn't know how or if I should. So, I did the only thing I could think to do - I said a prayer and took a picture.
*sorry for the window screen - I took this picture with my phone & I didn't want to move too much to scare the little guy



Well, I better get back to my very important snow day schedule.....after all, Martha Stewart is on. ;)
