Weekend Roundup

Hello, everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! Carson went to his grandparent's for the weekend and TJ and I had one big giant date weekend. We figured this will be the last time we will be able to do this for a while so we took full advantage of it and it was one of the best weekends we've had in a long time!

My look for our date night on Friday

Friday was my last day EVER of college so celebrations were certainly in order. We decided to go out for a nice dinner and Bordino's is my absolute favorite restaurant to go to for special occasions. The food never disappoints, the service is wonderful, and it's just all around always a great experience! I had the chicken, TJ had the salmon, and we split the crème brûlée for dessert!

After dinner we played mini golf! Normally I am just awful at mini golf and TJ is normally awesome and wins. But for some reason I was on my A-game and somehow won by 4 strokes. I was pretty proud of myself haha!

Saturday

On Saturday morning I woke up early and went to the farmer's market and picked up some peaches, blackberries, tomatoes, and flowers. I plan on making some cobblers with the fruit so stay tuned for that! After I came back we headed south towards Devil's Den. We live in such a beautiful area that has so much to offer outdoors but we never get to take advantage of it since Carson certainly isn't ready to hike any mountains any time soon! I was glad we got to go and experience some of the trails!

Chili's Skillet Queso needs no caption.

After hiking we went straight to lunch because we were too lazy to go back home and get ready, woops. Arkansas was doing their back to school, tax-free weekend so after lunch we headed to the mall to see if we could get any good deals and boy we did. I had some rewards at gap that I wanted to use, plus if you used your gap card you were able to get an extra 40% off so we got $150 worth of clothing for $25. I was pretty proud of that steal! I can't wait to dress Carson up for fall!

Sunday

We FINALLY did our flower bed! You guys have no idea how awful it was. It was absolutely covered 100% with weeds that were as tall as the bushes on the left side. I suggested we work on it thinking it wouldn't be that hard and we could knock it out pretty quick. Boy was I wrong. We were out there 2 1/2 hours pulling those dang weeds. After they were all pulled we laid new tarp down and covered it with 7 bags of mulch. It was quite the project. We still need to trim the bushes, sweep the sidewalk, mow the lawn, and weed eat but I am happy with our results!

Sunday night we went out for dinner at Steak n' Shake and went to go see Guardians of the Galaxy afterward and it was SO GOOD! I am so happy we went and saw it and I would honestly probably see it again it was that good. It's truly an enjoyable movie for everyone!

This little boy comes home today! Doesn't he look pitiful?? This child LIVES to be outside and spent all day outside with his grandparents on Saturday and he was worn out by the time this picture was taken I think! This was before his night time swim and before his monster tantrum when they tried to bring him inside haha. I told you, the boy loves playing outside!

That's all for today folks, have a great day and I'll talk to you tomorrow!
