On Friday, Mitch had to work, so I spend the day applying for more jobs and cleaning house. It was a very productive day. For dinner that night we made fajitas...they were delicious.
Saturday morning was my tennis class I teach. Mitch went with me this time, because I had to leave early since my parents were coming in town, and he covered my last class for me. For lunch we went to the Station Cafe on the square. It is a local burger place and we love it! After lunch, we shopped all day. It was so nice to be able to shop with my mom! We went to mostly local stores and had a great time. My dad, brother, and Mitch went and did their own thing. Ha! All of the stores have their Christmas stuff out and there is this one store that has the most and the cutest Christmas stuff I have ever seen! I was in heaven! My mom and I spent about and hour and a half just in that one store and we got so much stuff!!
We have been looking for lamps for our living room since July, and my mom found some and they look great!
Later that evening we took my parents to Kennedy. My parents liked it a lot and I tried a new kind of coffee and loved it! It is such a fun coffee shop and we love going there.
Also, my mom brought me our Tuscany Storybook from our wedding. Our photographer has been working on it since the wedding and we finally got it! It is the coolest thing and the perfect way to remember our special day. It is a thick cardboard type book and it is awesome!! I was able to help our photographer pick out all our favorite pictures and so it is just what we wanted! These pictures aren't the best, but here is the front cover...
Here is the back....
And here is my favorite page...sorry for the glare...
My parents ended up going home that evening because my brother was really sick, but we enjoyed spending the day with them. Later that night, we went over to Mitch's parents house and had dinner and watched the ou/missouri game...and Missouri won!!!
Sunday we went to church and out to eat with Mitch's family. We went to a new BBQ place called Dinks and it was so good! It was our first time and we will definitely be going back! We just spent the majority of the afternoon watching football. Before our financial peace class we went to Dairy Queen and got ice cream. Yum! When we were at our class, we realized we only have 3 classes left! This has been such a long and challenging program, but we have come so far. Mitch and I were talking after class and it is crazy to think of all the possibilities we have learning all this information at such a young age and it is crazy to think where we would be if we didn't learn all of this. It has changed us so much and even though it has been and will continue to be hard, it is so nice to go through it together.
After our class, we went see a movie. We have both been wanting to see The Social Network, so we finally went. It was a lot of fun and both really enjoyed the movie! We go out a lot, but don't go to movies much, so it was nice to do something different.
After the movie, I got a call from my mom and their had been a bad car wreck in Sand Springs. There were 4 girls in the car and one had passed away. I did not know these girls personally, but they were my brothers age and he did. My heart hurts for the families and everyone that has been effected. One of the other girls is brain dead and was recently taken off life support, she will be in a better place soon. Please pray for these girls, their families, and everyone effected. This is an extremely tough time for many and they need prayer for strength, mercy, and comfort.
Sorry to end on such a sad note, but the more prayers the better...right!
On a brighter note, Elizabeth is on her way to visit!! I am so glad I am going to get to spend this week with her. I know now, more than ever, to cherish every moment. So I am really looking forward to this week!
I don't have any good recipes to post, but we are making Mitch's dads chili this week!! I will be sure to post it next time...you will want to make it :)
