Weekending

Monday, February 8, 2016

My parents came in town this weekend and we had a great time together! It was so good to see them since the last time we saw them was Christmas.

Stephen kicked off Friday with a rocket launch and I worked from home because our AC unit was leaking in the garage and I had to let the AC guy come in and fix it. Since I was home, I got a great view of the rocket launch!


Thankfully, the AC problem was fixed (some yahoo cut the main pipe, jerry-rigged it back together and then added some secondary pipe that was unneeded) and minimal damage was done. Later that afternoon, my parents made it to town and we headed out to grab some BBQ before heading home for a movie. Poor Stephen was up for work that morning at 1 am and had a 13+ hour day, so he was out like a light and missed the whole movie. I wore my new dress with boot socks (on Friday, I was talking about how I tried boot socks with jeans and it was a hot mess) and I think it turned out super adorable, not to mention the dress was so comfy. 


Saturday, we made breakfast and then headed to the driving range because the weather was beautiful! We were going to head to the beach but while we were at the driving range, clouds rolled in. Instead, we looked at some fancy model homes for fun (after moving 15+ times, looking at models is fun for our family). We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing, baking and hanging out while it rained. It was such a long week for all of us (especially for my dad and Stephen) we loved just handing out and relaxing together. 

We accidentally matched

Stephen was a trooper and grilled steaks for dinner all while it was raining and cold outside (at least he was able to pull the grill under the roof). He did an amazing job on the steaks, potatoes and I added roasted broccoli & okra. For dessert, my mom & I made an amazing chocolate de leches bunt cake. We followed up dinner with the movie The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and we loved it - I'd definitely recommend it! 



Sunday, my parents left early so they could get home before it got dark. After church, Stephen left to help move some furniture for a friend and I finally watched Grease Live. They did a great job and I was surprised to see how close they mimicked the movie. We spent the rest of the day relaxing before the Super Bowl. I made ham & cheese sliders, sweet potato fries and roasted veggies for dinner - I didn't want to go too crazy since it was just Stephen and I. We were cheering for the Broncos - I only cheered for them because Peyton Manning is my boy. If he wasn't their QB and it wasn't his last Super Bowl, I would've cheered for the Panthers. I can't believe the Broncos won!! Everyone at work was saying it'd be a blowout for the Panthers and therefore, a non-eventful game.  

Being a cheese ball - Super Bowl is the only time I can get away with glass bottles lol

Can't wait to read this!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!! Linking up with Biana.

  2. Glad y'all had a good weekend with your parents!! Love your boots and boot socks with that dress and scarf, so cute!!

    We aren't big professional football fans, we like college football SO much better, but we were definitely cheering for the Broncos last night. I think all Tennessee fans were cheering for Peyton and the Broncos lol. Those glass bottles are too cute, I love getting the glass bottle of coke every now and then, too!

  9. I really thought it was going to be a blow out for the Panthers, too!! I was so happy to see Peyton win though, he's such a good guy and I'm happy he's going out on top! Also, totally jealous of your weather - will you send some of that up here, please?! It's currently snowing, ha!

  10. Mmmm that dinner you guys had with your parents looks delicious (and so did your super bowl meal!). Soda in a bottle tastes SO much better than any other kind!
