Happy Tuesday, friends, and happy September! I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah for today's blog post. How was your weekend? Mine was amazing! Here's what I did:
After work, I came home for just a bit and talked with Chris on the phone for a while before finally hanging up and going to change. I had plans to meet my co-workers for dinner and a high school musical! This was a really fun night; we met at Chili's for dinner and drinks, then we caravanned to the high school for The Descendants. It was so good! It turns out that I love getting out off campus for fun with co-workers. I'm going to do this all that I can! I ended the night with a cookie and a Diet Coke from Chick Fil A; have you had their cookies? They're my favorite!
Chris came to my house pretty early on Saturday, and we got a start on our weekend. I wanted to get a pedicure, so while I did that, he waited for me at The Home Depot. He is closing on a piece of land this week in Blue Mountain, Mississippi, and he's turning a barn type building into a home. He has all kinds of things planned for this; I had fun sharing all of this process with him over the weekend! We ate lunch, we went to Graham's house to check on the progress of the new patio covering he made with my stepdad on Saturday, we ran a few errands, then we came back to my house so that I could do some laundry. We started a documentary on Charlie Sheen on Netflix while we waited; eventually we left here to go to his house for a yummy Mexican dinner.
I laughed at all of these drinks! We were trying to make our iced coffees taste better on Sunday, but we did not succeed. 🤣
We found ourselves in a tiny grocery store in Ripley looking for odds and ends that they sold along with groceries. We eventually ate lunch, had Sonic drinks, then did a few more things while we were in that area before making our way back to his place. One of the things we stumbled upon was this beautiful lake!
He gets bonus points for asking if I wanted to take pictures, and then taking multiple shots of different parts of the lake. He gets me! 🤣 When we got to his house, we watched a movie, I tried taking a nap, then we got dinner again before I left again to come back home for the night. I laughed over how we ate dinner; we talked and he watched a race with one earbud in while we ate. I got home and showered so that I won't have to deal with my hair in the morning, then worked on blog stuff for this week as I watched Virgin River.
What did you do that you loved this weekend? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!
Jenn ❤️
It sounds like a great weekend! Glad you had fun outings with your school friends and Chris :).
ReplyDeleteIt was a great weekend! I'm not quite ready for it to be over just yet, but whether or not I am, here it comes. I hope you enjoyed yours as well!
DeleteThat is a beautiful lake! I haven't been to a high school musical in ages; I bet that was lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that gorgeous? It was so quiet. It was a lot of fun going to that musical!
DeleteSome high school productions are so good and love that you did that. You had a full weekend, girl. I am tired. Those cups - lol.
ReplyDeleteIt was a full weekend! It seems like I'd be tired, but there was a lot of chill time in between all of that. Those cups! We laughed really hard over this.
DeleteI'm glad you had a great weekend. Chris has a nice warm smile. I haven't been to a. high school performance in ages but I know I'd enjoy that too. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think he does, too. He told me when we first started dating that he doesn't smile much, but that's not true I've found out. He smiles a lot when we're together! We have fun with each other, and we laugh a lot. I love this about us! It was such a great performance; I'm looking forward to doing that more. I hope your week gets off to a great start!
DeleteLove seeing this JOY and your special time with Chris. Looks like such a fun weekend- you deserve it all my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet friend! It was a really fun weekend, for sure. I'll take all of those I can get!
DeleteA CFA cookie is so good! That is so nice Graham will have a covered patio. Sounds like he is thriving with home ownership!
ReplyDeleteThey're my favorite! I love that patio, and am so proud of him for building it himself with my stepdad!
DeleteYou really did have an amazing weekend. Friday night sounds like fantastic fun and how great to hand out with Chris. It sounds like he has exciting plans for the barn building. What a beautiful lake!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great one! I hope yours was as well, my friend.
DeleteI love that you have friendships (outside of work) with your co-workers. What a sweet blessing! I haven’t had a cookie from CFA, but now I want one!! Sounds like a great weekend. Happy new week! I pray it’s a blessed one for you.
ReplyDeleteI love this too! I can't believe you've never had one; do yourself a favor and get one ASAP! Thanks, my friend. I hope you have a great week as well!
DeleteThis sounds like such a fun weekend. You look joyful! I also love CFA cookies. We watched the Charlie Sheen documentary, and at the end I was like - what did we just watch? He led a rough life! We need to look for some high school performances - We have several schools very close to us. Hope you have a good week!
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun! Thanks for this, friend. Aren't they great? I thought the same about the documentary, though we didn't finish it yet. I hope yours is great as well!
DeleteAww he's very handsome and sounds nice!
ReplyDeleteI laughed that you called that grocery story "tiny"; by that pic, that place is huge for NYC standards!
Love that you supported the high school theatre.
I mostly trained my foster puppy and slept/vegged out this past weekend lol. The first weeks of classes take it out of me....
I think he's handsome too, and he is a great guy. That is true about this grocery store! I didn't think about how small things are like this in NYC. I know what that first week feels like! I'm glad you had time at home to relax and work with the puppy!
DeleteChick-Fil-A does have the best cookies! They're even better when they're warm, too! I'm glad you had such a great weekend. Chris seems like such a great guy! I'm glad that he makes you happy. :o)
ReplyDeleteThey're amazing! I need to get another one. Ha! Or maybe I don't...Thanks for that! He is such a great guy. I'm definitely having fun getting to know him!
