Weekend Warriors

I don't think I could have asked for a better weekend. It was perfect. 85 degrees and sunny.
We spent time at the pool , played corn-hole, grilled out, badminton, drive in movie, and tons more. It was so busy, yet so refreshing and relaxing. 

I didn't get pictures from our Memorial Day festivities.. mostly because I was busy having fun, but here is my weekend in a blur.

Hung out with this guy. I try to run around with Dexter as much as I can, but lately he has been a turd. He has started this new thing where as soon as he gets bored, he wants to go meet the neighbors. What a great introduction to my new neighbors: Hi, I'm the one who just moved in, let me get my giant dog out of your face....

Then I thew some pool time in my weekend. Nothing better then relaxing by the pool with your best friend..... and Starbucks. Mmmmmm.

Then, after relaxing by the pool, Saturday night we went to a Drive In Movie. OH MY GOODNESS THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN! We took an air mattress and shoved it in the back of Dan's truck. Originally, Courtney and I were going to lay on that while the boys sat in chairs, but this was just TOO comfortable. So we managed to all squeeze back there together. Oh the movie... Fast and Furious 6 (I think?) ... Eh, but that wasn't the point.

Monday morning I made pancakes from scratch... I have never done this before, but it wasn't a complete disaster. They actually weren't bad at all!! AND I had all the ingredients in my house already, so that was a plus! .... but I did manage to FILL the house with smoke. One burnt pancake = a smoky house for the rest of the afternoon.

Again, I did not get pictures of the awesome burgers we grilled, or badminton, or corn-hole. I suck...
But I promise, it was SO much fun. I really did have a perfect weekend.

I also finished coloring my hair! What do you think?

XOXO

Chicago Trip

Last weekend Josh and I took a trip to Chicago! We woke up at 3am and took a rental car all the way there. A 9 hour drive and 4 toll booths later... we FINALLY made it.

Because Josh is a Worship Leader for Harvest Bible Chapel, we had the opportunity to go to Chicago and help record the new Vertical Church CD.
Now before you get too excited, there were about 100 other people there too...not including the 2500 other people in the crowd!! We were in what they called the "Worship Pit". Basically, we were packed in liked sardines and got to jump around and worship like crazy. It was awesome. I can't wait to get the CD and DVD and try to pick myself out ;)

And of course, before we left we went downtown. I got some great pictures... but first, let me tell you why I will probably never go downtown ever again.
1. Parking. It was 25 dollars to park!! 25!!! No way.... Just no.
2. .... Well that was basically it. Just the parking.

It was suppose to be 75 degrees that day... and I swear it was 30 below. So I was out in jeans and a tank top, expecting to prance around by the lake and eat ice cream. Nope. We got hot coffee and as soon as that was gone we were RUNNING back to the car (which had to be a couple miles away). But... Despite the crazy cold wind and paying so much to park, we are so glad we went and got to experience the Navy Pier.

  I hope you all have a fantastic week!!!
