Mother's Day Weekend Recap

Happy Mother's Day! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a great Mother's Day.

This weekend has a been filled with spending time with both friends and family. I started my weekend with a girls night out on Friday.

The girls night include three of my bridesmaids. -Alison & Jen

We went to Flat Top which is always fun and tasty! To start I got their "Asian Punch".

The drink was ok- it basically tastes like a melted purple popsicle mixed with Sprite. I'm just not a purple popiscle fan, so it was only ok. However, my stir fry- well think this picture says it all.

Yeah- that bowl didn't stand a chance. I thought about getting second bowl, but I showed some self control.

Saturday- I had a good day even though the weather wasn't so good, but here's the highlights.

1. Hit the gym! (For the first time in a long time- I'm not liking my body or my weight as of late)
2. Bought my mom some flowers for Mother's Day.
3. Met up with my dad to go to Saturday evening church.
4. Went to dinner at Red Lobster with the husband, mother in-law, and brother in law. (I love me some snow crab legs! So tasty!)
5. Spend the rest of the night watching TV and drinking wine with the husband.

Sunday- Mother's Day!

When I was at church with my dad on Saturday he said "You know your mom would love if you went to church with her tomorrow." That was a good idea- so I got up early and my way to my second church service of the weekend. I knew my mom would be singing in the choir, so I just made sure I sat somewhere so she could see me.

Her face just lit up like a kid on Christmas morning when she saw me. Seeing her excitement that I came to church made the trip completely worry it. After church she made the rounds introducing me to some of her friends, and I got to see and talk with some church members I hadn't seen in quite a while. 

After church, my mom and I met up with my dad and we all went out to lunch. Lucky for us we got there just after the restaurant opened so we didn't have wait at all.

Once we finished with lunch, I suggested going to a local farmers market. Partly, I want to check it out because I wanted to see what was being sold. But I also wanted to check it out because if we get the house we are trying to buy this framer mart would be just 4 blocks from our house.

The weather so nice. I love sunny Sundays and this was a great way to spend the afternoon. There wasn't a lot of produce (but it's early for produce to be grown) but there was a ton of different food vendors. They had everything from pizza, to hotdogs, and to frozen chocolate covered cheesecake. However, I couldn't leave the framers market without buying this-

I love me some freshly made kettle corn. I bought the biggest bag you could buy and it only cost $5! Sam loves kettle corn as much as I do, so this bag doesn't stand a chance of lasting more then two days.

To finish my evening, I went back to Sam's house where we made dinner and spent some time watching TV.  It was been a great weekend and I only can hope that the rest of the summer is filled with these types of weekends.
