Busy Weekend!

We had an awesome weekend together! The weather has been great and I am so glad that I married my bestfriend...life is so much fun with him :) Friday we just relaxed and watched 20/20--which Melissa, Brian and I used to do together--miss you guys!

A view from our hike
Saturday we woke up early and went hiking. We are part of a hiking club through the YMCA and visit a different local park every Saturday. We have really enjoyed it and we even saw a deer run across the path in front of us. I love that we can enjoy the outdoors together. After hiking, we attempted to register (for our reception) at Target, but didn't get too far...our scanning "gun" died just minutes after starting and we were just too tired to continue--we'll head back another day. Justin found a cheap theater nearby so we went to a movie Saturday evening. We saw Marley & Me and loved it!! Now, more than ever, I think we are serious about getting a dog. We have gone to the Humane Society a couple of times now and would really like to rescue a puppy or dog when the time is right :)

Sunset at a park on Lake Erie

Today we tried to go to church but got stuck in traffic :( So, we went right to an outlet mall that is relatively close. We got some good deals--I had a coupon for 30% off at our favorite stores-Banana Republic and GAP :) Justin was such a good sport...we had a great time and had lots of laughs. After shopping we went to check out a potential house--it was pretty awesome...a little "old school" looking but the backyard was awesome and so was the neighborhood! House shopping/dreaming has been a lot of fun! We grabbed some dinner at our favorite "hole in the wall" Mexican restaurant--Jalapeno Loco and then to the park at the end of our road to enjoy the sunset. I told you it was a busy weekend!! We feel so blessed to have this time together!

Melissa: Don't you love the fact that Tara remembers her fun times with us as watching 20/20 on a Friday night? Not clubbing or partying or even bowling--but 20/20!

Brian: Yeah, we're pretty much old and boring.

Melissa: You know what's really sad? Since Tara's been in Ohio I don't think we've made it up for a single 20/20 episode.

Glad I checked the Evoy blog! We're so glad that you & Justin are having so much fun - Justin on a slide - who'd have thought! You two are so good for each other - God is Good! Glad you got back from Texas safely and hope you're not too tired today! Sounds like SXSW was a blast! And I know that Lauren was glad to get to visit with you both and she could show off their home! I just wish Texas wasn't so far away! Love you and miss you!
