The Rest of Spring Break '10

We ended up relaxing the other days of the week. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! :)
Patrick and I went every afternoon to the poolside and got some sun, and then would come in and watch movies or play Xbox.  We went on Thursday to "The Bounty Hunter" and to the mall to eat and walk around. It was lots of fun and the movie was GREAT!! 

On Friday we enjoyed yet another relaxing day, and Patrick got some money back and got his new 42" TV he had been wanting!! :)
Then we enjoyed a wonderful evening out with some great friends, David and Katie Perkins!
We met them at Wild Wings, and then went out to Putt Putt, needless to say the 2 boys bet us girls :(
Then we decided the night was young (yeah right..lol) and went to do a 2 hour Bowling Package at a near by bowling alley!! It was lots of fun, I bowled a 114 and then 104. Patrick got a 124 and 127, so all in all I wasn't to far behind him :)
It was lots of fun and we loved spending time with the Perkins!

On Saturday, Patrick and I relaxed and then decided to go out and see another movie, this time "DATE NIGHT", it was a good movie too!

Sunday after church we went off to Rebekah and Ben Waters house to watch the Masters and have a wonderful evening to end the break with 2 other couples.  The ladies went shopping during the Masters, and then cooked dinner for the boys, ending the evening playing Craninum...

SPRING BREAK was a wonderful week, and I enjoyed every second of having Patrick home!! I am so blessed to have him in my life, and even more so to have this time of our lives!! :)

A Day at the Aqarium (spring break '10)

I had been wanting to go to the Aqarium here in Charleston for a while now, and Patrick and I decided to go on Tuesday the 6th. It was once again a very nice and beautiful day! We parked downtown and walked, enjoying the views of Charleston and the Harbor. The Aquarium was very interesting and we enjoyed all the different animals and wild life. I LOVED IT!

We then left and headed downtown and enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Mellow Mushroom!! :)

All in all a wonderful day in Charleston!!

Plantation Day, (spring break '10)

Patrick's Parents came up for the day on Monday the 5th. It was such a fun day of exploring Charleston.  Patrick's mom had a pass to get into DRAYTON HALL PLANTATION, so we all went! It was very historical and so pretty.  I learned it was one of the only left standing plantations in this area since the Civil War.
I also learned they are preserving it, instead of restoring it. THis means all is left as it was, paint on walls, ceiling etc.  No furniture etc of any time period. 
It was so beautiful and the weather was perfect!!

We left the plantation and then went downtown Charleston for some more exploring and at lunch at the wonderful POOGAN's PORCH.. it was a wonderful little place to eat lunch and goodness was it good!!! :)

All in all it was a wonderful afternoon/evening with Patrick's family!

We ate our Easter meal at Cracker Barrel, and it was wonderful!  :) Then we spent a wonderful afternoon, poolside and going on a walk!!

Princess (Angel)

So I mentioned in a blog a second ago, that Princess has a habit of shredding her toys.. :) Well the pictures to follow are what I found her doing one afternoon. She has had this puppy for over a year, and for whatever reason she decided that it was so much fun however to shred her toy and get angry at it this particular day.. lol. :)

However we love her to death!! She is our sweet Angel baby!! :)

Easter GOODIES and Shopping

I love this time of year! I love the Flowers, the warm weather, clothes and mostly fun goodies!! :)
But I love Easter because of our Celebration of a RISEN SAVIOR whom we SERVE!! This Easter was the best for me in years, because I was with family and someone I LOVE!  My mom and dad have always celebrated Easter and the whole Easter Bunny thing with us, and still do. The past few years, I have recieved mine through the mail and loved it!! This year was no different, except my amazing hubby got some goodies from the Easter Bunny too (aka my parents).  Patrick's arrived a few days before mine, from the POPCORN factory! He got a wonderful Easter tin full of flavored popcorn bags, pretzels, chocolates, eggs, jellybeans and chocolate chip cookies!! I also got him so Gummy LifeSavers and wonderful M&Ms, Eggs, and lots and lots of Jellybeans!! :0 (did I mention I love this time of year). 

Patrick and I went to PetSmart and got Princess a cute little Cow stuffed animal, and hopefully this time she will not shred her animal as she has done in the past :) .. We shall see, it has not hard eyes or nose, so so far a success!!

I also went to Bed Bath and Beyond and got some colorful placemats and napkins for all under like $8.00. to complete our EASTER table!!

My gift from the Easter Bunny (aka my parents) arrived on Saturday the 3rd.. and Oh my WORD, I loved it!! I had gotten a Coach Purse from my AMAZING bridesmaids for a wedding gift, and my Parents for Easter got me the matching WALLET!! So needless to say it was a wonderful Easter Basket we got this year!!

***Then my amazing hubby took me ALL DAY, (literally) shopping for an Easter dress.. Bless his heart he searched high and low with me at every store in the mall and outside of the mall for a dress, and finally the last store was TJMAXX and we FOUND ONE :) .. it took about 15 trying on there to find the one, but thankfully I found it and love it.. and I LOVE HIM for shopping all day with me.. then did I mention he was amazing, well then he took me to get some shoes, and I actually got 2 pairs!! :)
So the day was a SUCESS for sure~~ ****

The Start of Spring Break (good Friday and Softball)

So thankful for Patrick working in the school system and getting a SPRING BREAK!! :) so nice!! His break began on Good Friday, April 2nd. Even though there was no school, he still had a game that night. And a DH at that!  They played vs. Wando. The first game they lost 10-0, and then the second game were winning until the last inning.. They ended up losing 15-10 or something like that. However Wando is a very good team, and we learned after that second game that we have been the only team to score that many runs on them!! So to that the girls and coach were excited. 
I was a little bit more excited, due to this officially STARTED OUR SPRING BREAK!! :)

And a week of run was to follow!

Newlywed Class

I am not sure how often I have mentioned but we LOVE our Sunday School class and teachers!!
We had a wonderful Sunday with them this week.  Our class went out to lunch after Sunday School and Church this past Sunday!! Patrick and I got a great opportunity to get to know more couples then  just what we do before and after S.S.  Then that evening we had our DINNER for 8!  It is a time several couples are picked and go to dinner or provide dinner together. This time we were with Kenny and Marianne, (our teachers) and Holly and Ben and Elizabeth and David.  It was a blast!!
We had Pork from the teachers, Holly brought Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes, I brought Broc/Cheese Casserole and Elizabeth brought Pound Cake with Strawberries. 
I am highly looking forward to the next dinner, I think this time it is Dinner for 6~~

It is just a blessing to find wonderful friends and a church family~!

Here is our Dinner for 8 Picture :) .. Minus Ben who was taking the picture!
