Busy weekend.

This weekend was very busy...good busy, fun busy, the kind of busy that makes Monday morning extra hard. Saturday Jake and I drove to Tuscaloosa, Alabama (about an hour away) and spent the whole day together shopping and enjoying being out of Columbus. It was nice to step out of the stress of work, pilot training, and two puppies and just be together. We picked up some Starbucks and walked around Target and the mall...the little things that we so appreciate since we don't have them here in Columbus. I attempted to take a picture of our excitement as we were leaving Mississippi for the day but couldn't exactly get Jake to cooperate :)

That night when we got home, we relaxed and watched a movie with some friends. Definitely, one of the best days I've had in a while. Sunday after church Jake cooked me lunch (which was a treat) and then he hit the books while I got my Sunday chores done...cleaning, laundry, groceries, dishes, etc. I always hate cleaning but afterward it is such a great feeling to relax in a freshly cleaned house. After relaxing a bit and enjoying some outdoor time with the pups, I cooked a lasagna for dinner and baked some yummy oatmeal cookies. Then two of my friends Allison and Katie came over and we had some fun girl time. Its so nice to have such good friends (that happen to live across the street) to hang with, talk to, and vent to on a regular basis. Columbus AFB would definitely be lonely for me without them!

So I had a great weekend and now its back to the daily grind. I do have a few fun things to look forward to this week though - Jake's solo tomorrow, a dinner date with Ann on Wednesday, and the joy of knowing I get an extra hour of sleep at the end of the week (yay for daylight savings time!). Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
