I did a lot today....

Today was a crazy day. I almost ran out of gas (i can hear my mom now.. "you should NEVER let it get lower than....." but by the GRACE OF GOD i made it to a gas station. I went shopping for jewelry for the girls in the wedding party, but I didn't buy anything because I want to make sure that they like it. Today, i really wished that Beth and Kelli were with me. :( Tear..

Moving on....Today I bought our ring bearer pillow! (Seth, this is what you will be carrying in the wedding!) and some ribbon for the wedding favors. Hobby Lobby is where I bought these items. Hobby Lobby is probably the best craft store out there. If anyone disagrees with that, they need to say it to my face. I also bought a medium sized, black chandelier to hang in our apartment. It is so pretty and I had been looking for one for a long while, so I called Aaron and got the green light and bought it!

When I got home, I was sticky and gross. yuck. I'm thankful for hot running water and air conditioning. We are SO blessed here in America.

so all in all, it was a good day!

Whoa, What a Weekend

I had a blast this past weekend in Corpus. Unfortunately, Aaron had to work on Friday and Saturday, but I had a few appointments, so I was pretty occupied.

• One of these dreadfully boring appointments was........ cake sampling!!! It was SOOO good. I tried strawberry, yellow and white. Guess which one I picked? .....well, you'll just have to wait and see. But believe me, I picked the yummiest one! So the cake is picked out and it's going to be beautiful! ; )

• I also talked to a flower lady. She was very kind and helpful. Everything that I picked out will look beautiful! This lady caught my vision and I think she's going to make everything look great. \o/

• I got to spend some time with my FMIL (future mother in law) she had knee surgery so she was stuck in bed. We had a McAllisters lunch in her bedroom, it was great fun :0

• Friday night, we got dressed up to go to WaterStreet Oyster and Sushi Bar. Aaron ordered me an shrimp quesadilla appetizer. Then I had some seasoned chicken alfredo something. Of course Aaron's plate was better than mine. He always gets something better than me and I always want whatever he orders. he also wanted to order sushi, but i declined. : {

• On Saturday, I had to run more errands. One of which was going to zales to get my engagement ring cleaned and inspected. Aaron set me off with all the paperwork. Poor guy. I already told him that I lose things easily, but he still gave it to me. So i didn't lose the paperwork, but I did forget to give it back to him. sorry, Aaron :(

• Saturday night, I took Aaron on a surprise date. I asked him to bring goggles (to throw him off since he was trying to guess where we were going) So he wore goggles the whole car ride while seriously trying to convince me that they improved his vision. BAha! so as we approached the restaurant I covered his eyes which made him EXTREMELY nervous. and then (after checking that there were no cars around) I slammed on the brakes just to get him hyped about dinner. We ate at Wings n More (he had never eaten there!) and I gave him a card because he's so amazing. :O
• On Sunday, there was only one service. Aaron translated to English since they combined the English and Spanish congregation. he did a great job. Afterwards there were activities and FOOD! I ate a ton! I had a hot dog and then nachos and then another hot dog. What? I was hungry :(

• Sunday afternoon we went to his pastors house for a BBQ. So it was me and aaron, the pastor and his wife, freddie the youth pastor and his girlfriend, and steve and liz, my friends that I stay with when I visit Corpus. I made my famous sopapilla cheesecake. Afterwards, we were all so stuffed that we all went to the beach for a walk. There were these little animals in the sand that would light up when we walked. It was like walking on stars. * :)*

• Aaron was off on Monday, so we got to hang out!!! we walked around Best Buy. We would have walked around it 3 times if Aaron had had his way. Then we made our way to the beach. the weather was perfect and Aaron didn't get burned even better. he tried to show me how to throw a frisbee. I'm still not very good :(

All in all it was a great weekend! I had tons of fun with Aaron. I can't wait to see him again!
