Hello! So these past few weeks have not only been crazy busy, but on top of that I have been sick. I can't seem to get rid of whatever I have and it is driving me crazy. For about three weeks, I have been sick and finally a about a week and a half ago I went to the doctor. I would always think I'm getting better, then it would come back 10x worse. So they gave me a couple antibiotics, come pills for my cough and they said if I wanted instant relief I would have the option for a steroid shot. I was at the point where I would do anything so I willingly agreed to the shot. Well they forgot to tell me it was a shot in the butt. I went ahead with it and I could barely even sit... It was so sore! But anyways I am finally starting to feel better.
Since I have been sick I haven't been able to run :( I was really bummed out at first because I have been wanting to do the tulsa run with my friends for a long time now and new I was going to be a little behind and have to really pick up my training, but then last week I talked to a few of them that we're doing it with me and they have all decided not to do it or to just do the 5k. They were all too busy to train for the 15k and so it did make me a little more happy that I could still do it with them and not having to worry about being so far behind in the training.
I was in need of a little break and it came just at the right time. I am doing the finishing touches on our house. We have guests coming in the next few weekends, so I am trying to get it all done.
I worked Monday and Tuesday then I was done! I actually feel like I have been off forever and I am was glad to get back and see my kids :)
Tuesday when I got off I relaxed and did nothing! It was nice to get off at 3 and not have to worry about work the next day. Wednesday I made a trip to hobby lobby, target, kirklands and bed bath and beyond to get house stuff. It was so nice to get up and get all my errands done before 12.
Later that evening I met some girls from my life group at Starbucks. None of us new anyone coming into this group, so we are all trying to get to know each other. All the girls are so sweet and we are all at the same place in our lives, so it's nice to be able to talk about things we all seem to be going through. But anyways we met because we are in charge of planning events for the rest of the group. They wanted someone to take charge and plan stuff each week for us to to so me and two other girls are doing that and it's a blast!
Thursday, Mitch and I just hung out and it was so nice not to have any plans. We had a couple day trips planned for the week since we were both off, but ended up just staying home and it was perfect. I can't remember a time when we just stayed home with nothing planned. On weekends we don't have anything to do, we always seem to travel, which I love, but I forgot how much I need these days to stay at home and be lazy.
Friday we had tickets to see the Thunder game here in Tulsa! So we worked on the house some (I feel like we are never going to be finished) and went to dinner at Charleston's before the game. We had a blast at the game and are looking forward to going to more games this year.
We made it to AR by 8am and first went to my favorite craft fair at the Embassy. They have the best stuff there!! I got some cute things and of course Hogs stuff! I also got a new china hutch for my kitchen!!! I am beyond excited about it. I have been looking for one since I got married and cant seem to find one I like. I have been really picky, but with as expensive as they are I want to love it. I have always wanted an antique/distressed looking one and I walked by this booth and I saw this big red hutch and about fell over. It was a great price and I knew that was the one I wanted! It was exactly what I had been envisioning in my head.
My mom actually ended up getting it for me for a early Christmas present. We are having to store it at Mitch's parents right now until we can get a truck, so we will most likely be making another trip to b'ville very soon!
After that craft fair, we went out to the biggest one, War Eagle. It was so neat to get to see it and it was such a fun atmosphere. The only downside was it took about 2 hours to drive 20 miles!
The traffic was so crazy! I knew during craft fair weekend traffic is always bad, but i have never seen anything like that! Luckily the drive out there was one of the prettiest drives I have ever seen. It was these old back roads and the trees are at their peak right now so it was absolutely gorgeous! Speaking of fall and leaves, there is this trail/hike Mitch and I have been wanting to do called the Talimena trail and it goes from Talihina,OK to Mena, AR and we have heard it is one of the most beautiful places and a famous drive. So I think here in the next month we are going to drive down there and hike it. I can't wait!
Sunday, I went to church and then met up with my family, we had some extended family in from AR so I spent the day with them and trying to get ready to go back to work after break.
On a completely different note, I have been obsessed with this shop on Etsy called Swanky Sooie and that make the cutest razorback shirts and other little things. I got my first shirt I ordered in today and LOVE it!
And I may have picked up Taylor Swift's new album today :) Love it already!
I hope y'all had a good break/week and are enjoying this beautiful weather!
