hello Monday

 



Happy Monday, friends! How was your weekend? I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah to talk about mine, backing up with Wednesday of this week. I'm starting there since real life took over and I didn't talk about any of this thing on Thursday's post; I was out to late that night to blog on Friday, but that's to be understood, right? 


Okay, I'll jump in...





My friend Kendra invited me to go with her to her friend Melissa's house for a pre-watch party; the movie of the night was Practical Magic. This was so much fun! We had pizza, snacks, sweet treats, and Midnight Margaritas! IYKYK. I was grateful to have something to do for two nights in a row after a rough start to the week. Then on Thursday after work, we all went to dinner, and to see...






Practical Magic 2! This time, Marilyn went with us. This was such a great movie, I'd easily go see it again. 





Friday was a full day! It was a field trip day for fourth grade; we went to the high school and saw the play, How to Train Your Dragon Jr. It was so cute! My little student loved it, and it made for a spectacularly fun Friday. That afternoon, I went home to rest for a while, then changed and picked up Marilyn for a birthday celebration. Mallory (Drew's girlfriend) and Meredith (her twin sister) turned 26, so we met them all at a restaurant called Hog and Hominy in Memphis. 



It was a fun night!







I love that they also invited Marilyn! This was such a fun night, and these girls kept all of us in stitches. For the rest of the weekend, I stayed home and cleaned my house. I skipped over that last weekend, so it was much needed! I went to Marilyn's house for a while on Saturday night, and we ended up working on our blogs while we watched Sleepless in Seattle. I went to church on Sunday, then I ran some errands before going back home after lunch with Mom and Bill. 


I'm anticipating a better week! I'm grateful that real life trumped my blog this week, and that I was so busy that I didn't have time to write for Friday. I love that! Did you do anything fun this weekend? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!

  3. You've been busy with all fun stuff! I'm sorry last week started out rough. I don't think I've ever seen Practical Magic so maybe I will look for it to watch. I don't know what a black margarita is but it looked good. Did your mouth turn black?
    I love that Friday was such a fun field trip day and that your student loved it. That is so fun!
    Sending wishes for a better start of week!

    1. I have been! I loved it so much. I'm hoping this week starts off better; I'm sure it will. You should watch it, but it's a little darker than I remembered. I came home praying I wouldn't get scared. Ha! I don't think my mouth turned black. Thanks, friend! I hope yours does as well!
