Better Together & Forever: Weekend Recap

Good Sunday Evening to All!

I thought I would go ahead and post my weekend recap a bit earlier than normal.

Friday Night - I had found out about the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary Schools while at work and was in a state of shock. I know that I do not live near Connecticut but it really hurt my heart to hear about the shootings happening there. I became really sad and a little bit depressed. In fact, I was kind of sad all weekend. I wish all of those families love and support through these next days, weeks, months and years.

Andy and I decided to spent the evening by going to furniture stores and seeing things we like and finding out what we can and cannot afford. We are still undecided on what we are going to do. Our plan is to start finishing the basement this winter, but we are not sure what's going to happen at this moment.

Saturday - Andy really wanted to check out this furniture store that we passed last night that was not open yet. We drove out to lunch at Bellacino's and looked around the store. I did manage to get photos of my lunch and it was so delicious!! I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner.

Andy actually went into JoAnn Fabrics with me that day. I had gotten a pattern for a dog hoodie and wanted to take a crack at sewing more. I had become bored with making the table runner and didn't have fun doing it. I spent a good 3+ hours at my kitchen table working on this hoodie and I messed it up.....I was bummin. I used fleece and flannel for the hoodie and sewed one of the arms on wrong. I was going to try and take apart the seam of the arm to fix it, but if you have ever tried to take the stitching out of fleece you will know, it is really really hard to do! So I am going to start it over. I plan on starting it sometime this week. Once it's finished, I will post it and hopefully Keeley will cooperate and model it for you all! :)

8" Cheese Pizza (I forgot to take a photo of my salad)

Andy had the pepperoni pizza grinder (it's a sandwhich).

Smokey "helping" me sew, yeah right!

Sunday - spent the day with my mom and brother Jeff. We went to lunch at Chili's. When we got back from lunch Jackson and Claire were up from their nap (Jena and Joe were babysitting), so we played for a little bit with them. I did manage to get some photos of the cuties. Spent the rest of the evening with Andy just watching tv and doing nothing. Thrilling, I know.
