This weekend was wonderful. It was just what I needed. Friday was one of those days that if you aren't a optimistic person, your day may not have been that great.
I started the day off waking up late. I'm not sure how I slept through my alarm but I did. It wasn't a big deal because I was still on time but I didn't get to do my hair. I had to throw it up with it wet. I had a headache that morning. I kept telling myself it's Friday and I get to see Matthew so be happy. The morning went great for the most part. I get irritated sometimes because I'm on the phone and it's important and people come up to me and just start talking and asking me questions. Yes I am the receptionist and yes I am out in the front but come on people, where are your manners?? I was talking to an automated machine and every time somebody talked to me, it would start all over. I was counting down the minutes until lunch.
The downfall to being the receptionist is that you can't just go to lunch unless you have someone to cover for you. Well a lot of coworkers were going out to lunch because it was Guy and Eric's last day at work. Well if a lot of people want to go out, then it's going to be real hard to find somebody to watch your lunch because they want to go out as well. I didn't know Eric that well but he was always real nice. Guy on the other hand is one of those people that is incredibly nice and just always happy. If he asks how you are doing, he generally cares. It was nice to work with somebody like him. I was sad to see him go.
On the bright side, I went to Twisted Root with Melissa. Best hamburger place EVER. I love their hamburgers and their fried green beans. It's not the healthiest place but it's the yummiest place. Going there for lunch with Melissa definitely cheered me up.
After lunch as we were walking back to the car, we noticed Melissa had a boot on her car. We were very confused. The parking lot said Twisted Root parking and then said for paying customers only. In Lubbock that means as long as you are eating at that restaurant, you can eat there. In Dallas that means you need to also pay an additional $2 to park here. It also means you should know that you need to pay at the pay machine hidden on the other side of the parking lot. When we called to have them remove the boot they said about 15-20 minutes. Being the two smart people that we are, stood outside complaining about how hot we were and that we were sweaty and gross. About 10-15 minutes later a guy walks past us and says he got a boot on his truck as well. He then asks why we aren't sitting in the car with the air on waiting? We looked at each other and thought the same thing. I guess since there was a boot on the car we acted like we couldn't touch it lol. We got in the car and turned on the air. It felt much better and gave us a laugh. It was $100 fee for the boot plus the $2 parking. We had an expensive lunch.
We got back to the office and my boss Tammy said we could leave at 3 and enjoy the weekend. Yay!! I was excited to see my hunny and Melissa was excited to pick-up Gianna early.
Matthew was already at my house waiting on me when I got home. I was way super excited to see him. It made the whole day that much better. We drove to Ikea and bought our furniture. It makes it that much more real that I'm moving out this coming Friday. As we were waiting in line to have our furniture delivered, my toe got rolled over. It hurt sooo bad and started bleeding. It cracked my toe nail all the way down. Seriously, is this really happening? It was really sore to walk on and we were about to head to the Frisco RoughRiders game. I'm a big baby when it comes to pain but I got over it.
The RoughRiders game was a BLAST. We met Chris and Amy there. If you don't know these two amazing people, you should. We had box tickets, which meant we got free food and free beer the whole night. HEAVEN! The game was really good even though we lost. We watched the fireworks from the car because Matthew had to be up at 5 in the morning.
My luck that day was not so great. 121 was closed and so we drove around forever to figure out how to get home because all the detour signs they had up only led us back to a closed road. An hour later we were home.
All in all it was an amazing day with a few twists here and there. Can't let a little bad luck ruin a great day.
The rest of the weekend went great and I didn't have anymore bad luck...that I can think of. I had brunch with Chris & Amy and Katie & David. We had a lot of fun catching up and it was my first time to meet Katie's husband David. I hung out with my sisters Saturday night. It's going to be weird not living with them. We got dinner and watched a movie.
Sunday was my moms birthday. We went to church and then went out to eat at Anamia's to celebrate. Matthew surprised me at church and spent the day with us. I went from 2 weeks of not seeing him to 2 times in one weekend. I was one happy girl! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!
Very blessed for a great family, a great boyfriend, great friends, and a great church family. :)
Robin! Great to see this fun blog and catch up a bit. It says you are moving out Friday? Have I missed putting your wedding on the calendar? I am so scatterbrained that I could have gotten something and lost it. You'll have to clue me in on the Big Day. I love seeing your happy life and seeing you all grown up. Matthew is happily married and doing well, and we have three granddaughters from Andrea and Melissa. Life has its ups and downs, as we deal with issues from Michael, and still have two teens in the home, but overall Life Is Good and we are blessed. So good to peek in on you and see such a sunny person! Take care. - Joanie
