weekend recap.

No posts since Thursday!! I'm not sure if that's been a good or bad thing.  I did grow a lot this weekend in so many ways though!! I'm sorry I have no pictures of the event's about to be discussed, I know that was one of my goals, but it hasn't happened quite yet.  I need to just learn to use my phone camera, but the reason that didn't happen either will be told!!

Friday after work, I had the opportunity to go on a date with Fireman.  We stayed in town and went to the Fish House, not fancy, but definitely the nicest place you can find in Henderson.  We had a wonderful dinner, complete with messy mozzarella cheese sticks at the beginning and delicious Key Lime pie afterwards.  Then we went backroading.   Now kids, this is where the country girl comes out.  Our first few dates seemed that they weren't complete with a few backroads while telling stories of our lives, serious and funny, laughing and getting choked up.  So now, whenever we need a cheer up weekend, we go for it.  Just drive around Rusk County talking about things other than the monotony that becomes our lives.  We needed it this weekend after we had both had a rough week.

Saturday I worked at Plan It Home and ended up laughing at the most ridiculous of things with Lorraine until about 3 when we decided that I just had to go see the upstairs of the Mays-Harris building.  Oh, is it fabulous.  The teal paint, the wide staircase, the covered arch windows.  Huge open spaces, small offices, old bathroom fixtures still in place.  My favorites were the City of Henderson "no consuming alcohol in public places" pictures and the Optometrist license taped on the wall dated December 10, 1959.  The couple that owns Eclectica is going to renovate the place into four apartments. I can't wait to see!

I then came home to the arduous task of cleaning out my closet.  Two and a half hours and 4 bags of clothes later, I can actually see the stuff I like in my closet.  I then put together a fun outfit involving a men's chambray shirt, brown tights, and a belt on to go see Amanda Harris' amazing direction of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest! It was extremely thought provoking, and very well put together! I believe the best play I have seen at Henderson Civic Theater with it's only rival being Sweeney Todd.

Afterwards, Michael and I went to Mojoe's (which Amanda and Travis, the director of Sweeney Todd, own) to get delicious cider.  Then we went off to drive around for a much shorter drive.  Of course, I get exhausted and start to drift off before Michael can get me home.  Am I 4 years old?!

Today I heard an wonderful sermon at Bar None and went to take Senior pictures of Philip (I promise to post some!) I also put together outfits and continued to clean out clothes, this time the drawers and jewelry... That will take a whole other post though!!

love continually,
