Weekend Happenings

I've been feeling a little bit down lately. C has been working crazy hours again and has been gone a lot, and to be honest, I'm a little lonely. Such is the mantra of a military spouse, no?! But I decided to suck it up this weekend and have some fun :)

Some friends came over last night for pizza & movie, and I had a great time catching up with them. We watched "Last Song", and oh my goodness...not sure what I was thinking with that one! I'm not really a "chick flick" kinda girl, but I thought this one might be good since I really do like Nicholas Sparks. And it was...good, that is. It was just that I somehow forgot how all of his books end. Sad. With tears...lots of them. Luckily I was able to keep my composure for the most part (read no straight out bawling!), and I'm pretty sure that my friends all had a few tears as well, so I wasn't alone :) Despite the sad movie, it was a really good night and was exactly what I needed!

Today, after a morning of hardcore cleaning (for me) and hardcore playing (for E), I decided to head over to downtown Aberdeen to check out a children's boutique that I'd heard about. I'm looking for a special toy for E's birthday and I thought I might find it if I just wandered around enough! Ha! You see, I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for. Something unique, and fun...with a classic feel. We picked out a wagon for her that I know she'll love, but for some reason I just want to get her one more thing and I can't quite put my finger one what it is. Am I crazy?! Anyway, as you can probably tell...I didn't find whatever it was that I was looking for. I DID find some super cute smocked bishop dresses for the Fall that I will be going back for next month. They are just darling! But no super special birthday toy. Oh well...I still have 4 days. No pressure, right?!

Family starts arriving in 5 days for E's birthday weekend! I can't wait to see everyone, it's been way too long! We have lots of fun stuff planned, and I'm super excited for her party...she's gonna love it!
