weeeeeekend

:: Full weekend here...how was yours?

:: Friday evening, Aspen came home from her week at youth camp -- and she was very excited! She had a fantastic week full of God, physical activity, pranks, friends, etc. She went to dinner with us at Casa with Greg and Lauren, and we had a lovely time. After a trip to Lowes, we headed home.

:: Saturday morning, Chris and I woke up bright and early to get on the road for his 20 mile run. I rode the bike next to him for support, and it was a long 3 hours!!! He did great though, and is working his way up to his 40 mile run for his birthday. That is going to be a rough run!!

:: The rest of Saturday was spent working on the shop, doing laundry, making the grocery list, etc. That evening, Chris and I had dinner at Fuzzy's and then Aspen joined us and we went to the movies. We saw Divergent, which was pretty good I thought. I may need to read the book :)

:: Sunday's church service was great, and then Chris got his stuff packed up and left for his business trip in Indianapolis. He'll be back on Wednesday evening. I ran a lot of errands, and now I am home to relax. Getting ready for the week ahead.

:: The most exciting thing that happening -- Sunday morning, right before we were to leave for church -- we discovered that Ocho had caught a bee in his mouth -- and that the stinger was still in his tongue. Let me tell you, he was not keen on us trying to remove it. I thought we were going to have to take him in to the ER vet, but luckily, but chance, I was able to get it out. Gave him a Benedryl, and he's been fine. Whew!!!! Poor guy.

:: A photo share, from a few photos this week:

Our new copper bird feeder from my Mom and Randy! The birdies have already found it!

Aspen is home from youth camp!

Loving my new colorful summery purse! Very Bradley

Our new patio furniture finally arrived (a week late) but we absolutely love it!!

I tried out a new chocolate popsicle recipe in my Zoku molds and they are absolutely delicious! Coconut milk, dark chocolate chips, honey, vanilla, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Delish!

:: Happy week ahead!!! Chris gone three days, then home for two, then he and Aspen are off on their cruise!
