Memorial Day Weekend

Let me start off by saying...that was a TOUGH WEEKEND. Andrew left Friday afternoon to head up to Kansas to see some of his best friends in the world. The Marshalls (Jeff, Kat, Jeff Jr., and Audrey) are like family to him. I met them back in January when Andrew and I took our first trip together. They are SUCH a wonderful family!! I was very disappointed that I couldn't go with Andrew. But while he was off on Memorial Day, Sewell was WIDE OPEN to the 12 people that came in that day, haha. So he headed up to have a nice three-day weekend with the Marshalls. Andrew was very good, he remembered to take his camera with him and took some pictures. Friday night when he got there, they had Andrew's Famous Pizza...so jealous! Audrey was fascinated with Andrew's iPhone right away!




Saturday everyone hung around the house, playing with their sweet dog, Molly, and playing Uno.



Junior took it upon himself to swipe Andrew's camera and take a bunch of random pictures, which I found hilarious when I was looking at the pictures when Andrew got back.







Kat made breakfast every morning. She made these sausage links Saturday morning that she made while I was there in January. I am NOT a sausage fan, but these were so good. Andrew took a picture so we could get the same ones to make some morning.




Saturday night, they all went to the stock car races. This is something that they used to do all the time, they love it! They would go every Saturday to races in Mesquite when the Marshalls lived in Texas.




Sunday everyone just kind of chilled. Kat and Andrew went to the store, and Andrew found a really neat couch that he emailed and called me about. We're thinking about getting it. They grilled out hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner. Then later that night they stayed up until around 2:00 in the morning playing board games and hanging out.











All in all, he had a great time! He did call me every night, and at random points everyday as well. I think he missed me, JUST a little bit. But he had fun, too, which is good! He needed a break from working so hard lately!

Now to what I did all weekend. Friday night I went to TGI Friday's with Brandi and Sheri, from work. We drank WAY too much and Brandi and I had so much fun watching our waiter flirt shamelessly with Sheri (who could be his mother!). Saturday, I was up BRIGHT and early at 7:00am to get ready for my long day. Sara and I went shopping at the bookstore, went and got manicures and pedicures, and drove out to Grapevine. I had raved about the Delaney Vineyard, so Sara wanted to check it out. We also got to have lunch with Sara's mom and sister. I got to play with her sister's puppy, too. Tobi's a crazy little beagle. Sara's dad was sick and couldn't go with us to Purdy's for lunch. And since I didn't take picures, here are some pics of her parents and Tobi anyways.




After that, we had dinner at CiCi's with our friend Robyn. Then we all went to Target, and did MORE shopping. They did such a great job trying to distract me from missing Andrew like crazy.






Sunday I hung around the house for awhile, reading a book and relaxing. That afternoon Sara and I went to The Dump to check out this dining room table that Andrew and I liked a few weeks ago (it was still there!) and then we grabbed a bite to eat at Cheddar's.

Monday is when Andrew drove back, I had to work. It was the LONGEST DAY, I was in such a hurry to get out of there and get over to see Andrew. It was great to see him!!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend!!
