gay man at pottery barn=evil

so last weekend was basically a weekend of movies and shopping, two of which I havnt actually done in a while. I mean I go to look at stuff or run to target but me and Jenny drove to the outlet mall a little north of here and walked around all day looking at stuff, it was a blast. Anyway, on Saturday I woke up after a good sleeping in to get ready. The night before we had went and seen V for Vendetta and it was awful late when we got in therefore resulting in my good sleeping in. Anyway, we headed to the outlet mall and went to the Pottery Barn store first. I saw the most beautiful buffet ever there! It was the buffet I have been wanting ever since I got my first magazine, I mean I would just stare at it. Well, at this store since its an outlet you must purchase it and immediately take it home. So therefore I could not purchase this $300 buffet that retails at 1100 dollars! The nest morning I drive back in a car it would fit in. I walk in the store and its gone!!!!!! I walk around and then...I see it! On a cart! and some gay man is pulling it around and about to buy it! I mean it was just emotionally horrifying. Going in and it being gone is one thing, but it still being there and this man with perfect hair and perfect skin was taking it from me! It was a big mind game the buffet was playing and in the end i lost and my heart was broken! oh and for you that dont know what a buffet is, since some of you have asked, its sorta like a cabinet without the hutch on top. Just a little table with cabinets and drawers that goes against the wall like in a dining room, and you can put food on top of it when you are serving people, or just decorate it.

Ok so i know that you are probably sad by my story, or just shaking your head with the thought of, "this girl is retarded." The weekend was pretty good overall even with that set back. I finally saw Failure to Launch and it was such a good movie! A must see for everyone.

Well I cant write a lot more because I have to heaad to work. Justins parents and sister Afton are here and I am soooo happy about that! We are having a blast and there is still a few more days to be had with them so Im super excited to get to hang out with them all week! Well have a good rest of the week everyone!

birthdays, tina, babies

so last weekend was kyles 25th birthday so we all decided to go out to Dave and Busters and play arcade games and be silly. It was super fun and we had a blast just goofing off and shooting basketball and driving race cars and getting tickets and buying meaningless junk. it was nice to be able to play with all of our friends and especially my husband who was in class alllll weekend. Justin got a new job working for an insurance salesman as his office manager. He however, has to take 40 hours of a class to be certified and so went all last weekend and will go all this weekend. I feel bad for my little man because it is reeeallll boring and plus I just wanna have fun on the weekends. I really do feel the need to treat weekends as mini vacations because basically all week I just sit on the couch and watch TV so I dont so much feel the need to do so on the weekends. I do however enjoy my daily naps and really love when little Alex takes real long naps =) anyway, saturday justin went to class, of course, and i met him for lunch and then did a little shopping. I really should just stay away from the mall, you know how glutonous I am. i didnt do too much damage, dont worry. that night when justin got home we were just hanging around the house trying to figure out what we should do for the night and we were thinking of going to see a movie. Well, Kyle calls me and asks if I had any real set plans for the night because he and Jenny were going to go to a concert, however, kyle had heard that the concert he was going to attend happened to be my favorite country artist and thought I should go in his place since I would enjoy if more fully! Well of course I said yes and I got ready real fast and me and Jenny headed to see Martina McBride, known to me as Tina. you know...
anyway, the night was amazing, she has the most amazing beautiful powerful voice and enjoyed every minute of it. She really has been my favorite since I can even remember listening to country music! I was so excited to be there! Not to mention Jenny got the tickets for free and we parked for free and didnt pay one dime to enjoy that night!

In other news our friends Darrell and Lydia had their baby girl yesterday!!! I cant wait to see her little self. she is just 5 pounds, thats so little. Jenny and I spent forever last night trying to find her good baby presents at Target and we got her some cute little outfits, I love little girls! well im headed out to small group. Have a good weekend everyone! ill be lonely in the nati since Justin has class so if anyone wants to plan a spontaneous trip, feel free =) on saturday Im going to the outlet mall, come on, you know you wanna come. do it, do it

kisses, haha

im always behind

well i just realized that this weekend has already been full of fun and i have yet to even touch on the adventures of last weekend and all that is held. Last Friday night we all decided to go Salsa dancing!!! it was soooo stinkin fun. Justin's ankle was still hurting him a bit and therefore it was a little hard for him, but he is the sweetest boy and tried so hard to dance and learn all the salsa there was to learn. After the little lesson of the basic moves of salsa dancing we all got into our little pairs and tried dancing together. They sorta just let you go and you just do whatever you can. Justin and me tried and then basically spent the rest of the night just dancing, not neccisarily salsa dancing. Me and jenny were getting it good though! She led, she is really good at it, I just follow her feet! it was really so fun tho, we all had such a good time. Saturday we helped Darrell and Lydia move into their new apartment because the baby is almost here!!! i cant believe it, it all happened so fast. I am so excited about this little baby in our group to pass around and just love on! plus she will be just gorgeous because she is mixed and all mixed little girls are just the prettiest things! that night we all went back to darrells and he made burgers for all of us to thank him for moving and then we tried to go bowling, but bowling alleys are nuts on Saturdays so we ended up going back to Brian and Haleys and the guys played poker while the girls just watched SNL and whatnot. sunday was the usual, a little churchin it up, then a nap, then sunday night super club at our house, fried chicken style, and we watched the Oscars. Let me just say that Reese Witherspoon is the cutest girl, I have a heterosexual crush on her! The rest of the week wasnt so bad, just working and doing our usual things. Monday night was Justins last basketball game, it was intense and I do not wish to go into the drama that happened on the court, it made me feel very inadequate. Tuesday night was our first volleyball game though, and it was so fun. I havnt played in FOREVER, but I didnt stink all that bad. We did win so that was fun. We are the purple team so I have named us Color that ends in urple Team. Thursday was small group night and it was soooo awesome. Brian discussed "life" and what the Lord has for us in this life. It was spurred sorta from the book Waking the Dead. We just talked about what makes us feel alive and what God meant when he said abundant life, more than we can imagine. I did find it true that a lot of people, christians and non christians, maybe arent living for what the were created for because its somewhat frightening. I mean what God has for you can maybe be just so out there amazing that its just easier and more comfortable for you to just stay the way you are and not reach for that. But the truth is that its time to stop simply talking about God and discussing Him and its time to experience Him. Its like we believe in this promise God has for us and in who He is as our Heavenly father, but do we really receive the life that He created for us, or are we too afraid to see what that might be. I dont know if any of this is even making sense, I am basically just typing as it all enters into my head and I have no organization to my thoughts at all, as you all know. Basically I am just saying to not only believe it all but to actually take hold of it. The satisfaction you have in the LIFE He has for you, will have such a huge effect on others, maybe moreso than you just telling them about Christ. People will see how satisfied we are and be so attracted to it.

ok, well on another note, jo I hope you had the best birthday ever. I love you dearly and hope it was grrrreat!
