I am pretty proud of all that we accomplished this weekend. It was a hectic one for sure! But so happy Steph was here!!
Friday night Steph came in town and she, Evan, Allison and I went to dinner at DoDiYos. We had a yummy dinner with HORRIBLE service. It was embarrassing how bad it was, from a 55 minute wait time (told only 15) with open tables, forgotten appetizer, and raw chicken, I don't think I'll be back for a while. But, we had a lot of fun watching Allison get flustered, its rare. We got to catch up to! We need to do that MUCH more often!!!
Along come Saturday, busiest day ever.
Steph and I woke up at 7 am and go to the Meadowbrook Neighborhood garage sale! We even got my cousin Meredith and Heather to venture down 280! Over 50 houses in the neighborhood participated. I have lived in meadowbrook most of my life and have NEVER seen it this crowded. There was a lot of JUNK, but I think I found a couple of treasures in the mix.
I only spent $19.50 and got- a lamp, 2 shelves, a vintage belt, and a pie table! I'm kind of in love with this "antiquish" (thats what the lady called it when we were haggling) pie table! It has so much potential! I can't wait for the final product! JD was going to venture around the yard sale with us, but the crowds were a little much and there were a lot less treasures than junk, so he decided to cut grass at our new house! :)
We made our last purchases around 10:30 and then headed off to Bridesmaids INC for Steph to try on bridesmaid dresses!! :) With all the house stuff going on, I've slowed a little on the wedding planning! I was so excited to get all girly on Saturday!Steph had found this dress on a random blog one day and showed me, and we both fell in love immediately. It was our goal to get that dress on her! I had called Bridesmaids INC ahead of time to make sure they had it, so we grabbed that one about maybe 10 others for her to try on. She put the winner on first, and nothing else even came close, I think she only tried 2 more on.
We were out of there in 30 mins, sized and purchased! I guess we knew what we wanted! So I'm pumped! Bridesmaid dresses check!
Next Steph headed off to Evans to watch the Auburn game :( and I went to JDs bike race! I'm so excited that cyclecross season is back! Its by far my favorite to watch!! It was a fun race LOTS OF MUD! And it got me excited for the rest of the season! I met back at Dad's to watch the 2nd half of the Auburn game. It was such a weird feeling after 17 games to have, but ya know, I have 17 AWESOME feelings that are better, so I'll remember those :)
Sunday Steph left around noon, and I headed over the new house!! To get the new locks and doorknobs installed! Yay!! That took a lot longer than we thought so it was really our only project for the day! But it was an important one! We also took advantage of Lowe's 75% off patio furniture!! Thanks to Jd's parents we have an awesome table and chairs on the top deck and a "coffee" table for the bottom deck! JD and I found a great deal on some chairs to match!
Monday- Jd's parents started to remove the pea green painted wallpaper in the upstairs bath. Our plan was to remove the painted paper, and then paint a different color. That's going to change...... the paper was not applied correctly. So- as we remove it it's ripping the drywall... A textured bathroom, it will be! Oh well at least it's not a huge room!!
You will notice, sadly, I don't have any pictures :( it's because I lost my phone on Saturday, someone may have stolen it, don't know. But hopefully this will be the only post without pictures, and I have a lot on my real camera too!
We have a lot planned for this week, and especially this weekend. This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we will be having a work party! With beer and food for anyone wanting to tackle something off the list!! If ya wanna join let me know! :) Everyone is welcome! Use FB for now!
Ashley Austin (soon to be Vibert)
