Weekend Activities

Mark and I had a great weekend - both activity wise and just spending time together. Friday night we went to the Delta Waterfowl Banquet and had a great time with our friends, Kevin and Dana. We also bought a painting for our mantle and a photograph for our bathroom. Saturday we spent the morning at Elm Fork shooting range with the Hunt Retriever Club. Mark shot in the Five Stand contest while I spent time talking to friends and watching Mark shoot.

Afterwards, we grilled out with the other club members. Kevin made some yummy hamburgers! We spent the rest of the day looking at tile and paint colors for our bathroom, chairs for our dining room, and purchasing paint for our kitchen and living room. We also picked up Dixie's new dog box. This goes in the back of Mark's truck. She will stay in there when it is hunting season on overnight trips. It has air, heat, insulation, a water pail, and bedding - pretty fancy! Mark spent a lot of time cleaning it out. I think Dixie will like her "apartment."

Later (like 9pm later), we went over to our new neighbor's house. They are so much fun and even Dixie had fun playing with their dog in the backyard.

Sunday we had our kitchen cabinets, the living room mantle, and our front door painted. Oh my gosh, it totally changes our house...it's amazing!!! I couldn't be any happier!!! Our house is truly becoming a home. We haven't put the cabinet doors back on yet, the paint was still drying last night.

Here are the before and after pictures:

























While the painters were painting, Mark and I spent some time at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. We purchased some rugs for our house and other little things, but the best purchase was a Snuggie for me. I know it is past the Snuggie craze but I love my Snuggie. I enjoyed every minute I was curled up in it watching TV last night. Mark looked like a wizard when he put it on.
