Look who's in Texas!

Mom & Dad have arrived safely after 18 hours of driving from Indiana! They were very proud of themselves as they were able to find the way to the house without calling for directions!
I still had to work yesterday from 2-10 so Ryan entertained by cooking (huge) Ribeye steaks on the grill and taking them on an evening trip to Lowe's. {good times}

Today, well-today is my first of 4 days off in a row. {fabulous}I finished up some cards in the morning, then headed out with Mom to run some much needed errands. Errands that I have put off for way too long (I hadn't picked up the dry cleaning in almost 3 weeks!) We accomplished a lot and had fun in the process. Hobby Lobby and Banana Rebuplic had good sales going on. Love it! Tomorrow we plan to head to the outlet malls while the guys continue to slave away on the deck. Which is coming along nicely. Below is a picture of it around 12 noon today (Wednesday):
Okay, so there isn't much of a deck yet....but it's coming!

I am loving, loving, loving, being off work for 4 days straight! {serisouly-I'm loving it} I have so much planned. I just might have to get up early every day to get it all done ;)
Seriously!

P.S. Thanks to all who prayed for me last week...I'm doing so much better.
