An Up and Down Weekend...

...I guess you have to take the good with the bad, right?

Travis and I really enjoyed having some time to ourselves this past weekend. We are usually so busy during the week that we barely see each other or get to talk, except for the occasional supper when I'm not working late. But, this weekend, we were house sitting for Laurie while she and her family were at the beach, and it was a lot of fun. We didn't do too much, but that made it nice. We grilled hamburgers Friday night for supper and steaks for lunch on Saturday. We watched a lot of football on Saturday and entertained Laurie's two dogs, T-Bone and Angie. As a result, I now have "pet fever" along with "house fever". But, the pets will have to wait until we get in a house!! Oh well :)

Alabama lost on Saturday for the first time in 29 regular season games. That's a long streak! I was pretty disappointed, but hopefully we'll rebound this week and play better. The Ole Miss game doesn't start until 8 PM...pretty late!

Speaking of football, Travis and I played each other in fantasy football this weekend. Let's just say I got killed. Before this weekend, I was 3-0 against him, so at least I still have a winning record :)

Anytime Fitness, the gym that we have memberships with, is doing a program right now called the Iron Bowl Walk-A-Thon. Apparently, Bryant Denny Stadium and Jordan Hare Stadium are 160 miles apart, so they are encouraging everyone to try to walk, run, or bike 160 miles by Thanksgiving, the day before the game. They've got a "map" up on the wall where they are tracking how far along everyone is. The person with the most mileage gets a free pair of running shoes, and everyone who goes at least 25 miles gets some sort of prize. I'm not sure I'll make it the whole 160 miles, but I'm going to try! I've probably done about 20 miles so far. It's a good incentive to exercise, at least!

Well, that's it for today. Hope you all are having a wonderful Wednesday!! :)

October = LOTS to do!!!

October means...

*Football games every weekend
*My birthday (I'm turning 24 this year!!)
*Cooler weather outside :)
*The leaves changing colors
*Halloween candy!

This is a crazy week for us. I worked yesterday and today, and I work again on Friday. Travis is off Friday, but has a ton going on at work this week. It's getting pretty stressful from what he's saying. Tomorrow through Sunday, we are house sitting/dog sitting for a nurse that I work with. We did it once before back in June, so we already are familiar with her house. It'll be a nice get-away, but I'm not looking forward to packing for it tomorrow. It's far enough away that I don't want to have to make a bunch of trips back here for stuff, so I need to get everything the first time!

We had a lot of fun this weekend at the lake house and at the Bama game in Tuscaloosa. Thanks again, Mom and Dad, for letting us go!!! Mom made her awesome meatloaf for Sunday lunch, and we celebrated my birthday early, since we won't see them or Jenn before my birthday in a few weeks. (Thanks, Gran, for the silverware you got me!!! We'll put it to good use!).

The Parade of Homes is this weekend, but I'm afraid we won't have the time or energy to go to any of them. How do you buy a house when you don't even have time to go look at any...haha?

Well, that's all that I can think of right now. My brain is tired from a crazy day at work!

Something I need to remember every day:

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

~Matthew 6:33-34



God will provide!! :)
