Happy Mothers Day!!!

Friday
We had a wonderful weekend. Friday we were busy bees. Justin took my new car into the shop because apparently Ford was trying to rush the new Explorers off the line and the MyFord Touch & Mircosoft Sync have some glitches- and well my whole home screen turned black. Yeah...no radio, no phone, no backup camera, etc. Thankfully the air conditioner can be controlled from my steering wheel. Talk about a pain in the neck. Justin took my car in and had to sit  forever so I left work early to go and pick him up. They ended up calling us at 4:30 to tell us to pick up the car because the part they needed to fix it wouldnt be in until late next week. HMPH! So I continue on with no radio and no phone and no directions, etc.

Anyways, after that we went to HEB and picked up some stuff because for Justins birthday we got him a new grill and he wanted to try it out. So we invited the Cokers (J's sister & family) over for fajitas!! We had a such a good time. We played in the backyard, our neighbors backyard (with her puppy), did cartwheels, talked about life and just enjoyed each other's company.

Saturday
Saturday we slept in before getting up and doing normal Saturday things- ya know...laundry, cleaning, the yard, etc. When the evening came we headed to The Woodlands to surprise my mom for Mother's Day. My mom's mom (my Granny) passed away in January and so this was mom's first Mother's Day without her momma and she is still recovering from her knee surgery and just a bunch of other things. I wanted to be able to be there for her since I knew this would be a tough weekend. I had arranged with Dad for us to surprise her at one of her favorite places, Cafe Express. We got lost and there was an accident so by the time we got there Dad had texted and called me. Trying his hardest to put off eating. When we finally got there- Dad was inside and Mom was on the patio so we snuck in the side door and then we went outside and I wrapped my arms around mom and gave her a kiss. She said she almost slapped me because she thought I was either Dad or someone mistaking her for someone else. It was neat. She was speechless. (which is rare...hehe) We ate dinner then walked around Market Street for a little while, grabbing a cupcake from The Cupcakery before heading back home. I hope Justin and I were able to give her a little cheer and show her how much we love and appreciate her. It was fun Saturday night. Here are some pictures from the night.




Sunday
Sunday morning we got up and went to church. Our pastor is still working his way through Psalms. He is on Psalms 53. It was another good one. I love how Chris tells us the history surrounding each Psalm and what was going on in Davids life that made him write each one. But then also relates it all back to present day and how it relates to our lives. After church we had left overs and spent the entire day relaxing and enjoying being with each other before the rush of work made our weeks begin. 

And so another week begins...3 more Mondays before the end of the year!! Yippie!!
