Dnow and the LPGA!

Hello! Sorry it has been a while since we updated...it has been a busy week.  This past week was the start of the LPGA.  They didn't start the actual tournament play until Friday, but they had different activities going on leading up to Friday.  On Wednesday was the Pro-Am and so Mitch and I went out to watch it.  It was raining off and on for the first hour we were there, then it finally cleared off! We stayed out there watching until about 5pm when the rain picked back up again.

On Thursday, Mitch had to work, so I spend the day looking for more jobs! Of the companies I have heard back from, I have decided its not what I want to do.  I know, I am being picky....but I don't just want to take any job, I want a job that I am going to enjoy! Yes, I wish I had one right now, but we are in no rush for me to get a job, so there is no need to take the first one that comes along if is not what I want (which I am very thankful for)! I am learning to be patient and I know it will pay off when I get a job I am excited about!
Later that evening, I went on a walk with Michelle and her dog, Peanut.  We walked 4 miles and it was so pretty outside...I think Fall is just about here! I can't wait!
Friday, Mitch had to work again, but I kept myself busy! I went shopping trying to find the last few little things we need for our house.  The whole decorating process has been so fun, but now I am just ready for it to be finished.  Sadly, I came home with nothing. I have been having such a hard time finding these last couple of things!

That afternoon, Michelle and I went up to the church to help with Dnow, which was a lot of fun! That night, the church put on a race for the students.  It was suppose to resemble the Amazing Race.  The students would get clues that would take them all over Bentonville/Rogers area and I was a judge at a couple of the locations.  Once the students figured out the clue and got to the location, they had to perform a task to receive their next clue. One of my favorites was they were put in a barn with chickens and had to catch one!

Once they did that they had to go back to the studio and go through over 300 hats and find the four that had a message in it.  It was a mad house and there were hats all over the place!

It was a crazy night, but so much fun to help out with.  I am very thankful I am getting plugged in with this church...I love it! Here are a few more pics from Dnow weekend!

Since we were busy on Friday with Dnow, we didn't make it out to watch any of the LPGA. So Saturday morning we went and played an EARLY round of golf then headed to Pinnacle to watch some of the tournament.

We went to our friends house and they had soooo much food. We literally sat there all day, ate, and watched the players come through hole 12.  The perfect Saturday for Mitch and I :)

 

That evening we came home and just relaxed! We watched the US Open women's final(which wasn't hardly even a match) and kept up with the razorback football game! Over the past few years we were at school and only made it to Arkansas a few times to go to Razorback games.  This year since we live here, we are hoping to go to a lot more.  We both love going to the games and cant wait for this season!! This Saturday game is going to be televised on ESPN, so we are excited to watch our hogs play!
Sunday, we got up and went to church...I always love Dnow sunday...you get to wear your t-shirt and jeans! It was a long service (28 baptisms!), but so awesome to see how God worked in the students over the weekend!
After church, we headed back out to watch the final round of the golf tournament.

Since we spent all Saturday watching one hole, we decided we would walk the course. We followed Michelle Wie starting from hole 7. She had a HUGE crowd following her...it was crazy! The tournament was televised on the Golf Channel and we even managed to make it on T.V. three times :)

Today, we are waiting for the rain to clear off and we are going to go play golf.  Mitch has spend the morning putting some clubs on ebay.  Mitchs Grandma plays golf and it seems she buys a new club every month (she doesn't play well and thinks its the club, so buys a new one..ha!).  The good thing about this is she always sends me the clubs she "doesnt play well with".  Just recently I have received a new driver and woods, thanks to Mitch's grandma! So, he has been putting some of my older clubs online to sell.
Here is a recipe for you all...its one of Mitch's favorites! Its a super easy and sooo good!
