Sunday at Grandma's, Home Renovation, and First Day of School

What a busy weekend! Friday night we had some friends come through from Texas, so we went out to eat at Boomtown. Curtis and Kristin live in Wichita Falls and were going to her parents for the weekend so we were excited when we heard they were stopping to visit! After we ate and saw almost all of Curtis's Uncle Si impressions we came back to the house to check on their dog Cricket. Gilly and Cricket got to meet for the first time and Gilly was not nice. She growled and mostly hid the whole time we were all outside. Such an unsocial princess!

Saturday, Mom and I went to OKC as was mentioned in the previous post. Chels is getting accustomed to being at home with the babies and Brady...no parents! She is adjusting very well and the babies are doing great!

Sunday Funday! Sunday for us usually means going to Cade's sweet little grandma's house. Grandma usually cooks a pretty big meal with the help of Sally, Cade's mom, and anyone else who is willing to help. I don't think we have anyone not willing to help. Everyone has their assigned duties on Sunday's. Me- I usually try to help finish up whatever Grandma and Sally need help with before it's ready, and I along with Megan and Sally put up the leftovers. Sheila- loads the dishwasher and usually unloads it.. if it needs it. John (Meg's hubby)- takes out the trash. Micheal (Sheila's hubby)- cleans the stove and counters. Cade- entertains the munchkins. I really enjoy these times out at Grandma's and hope to someday do this for my family. It's a good way to start out the week and to catch up on how everyone's week went!

Cade's momma came over last week and we finally put down plans to start updating the kitchen. I am so excited to start this project! Cade is pretty excited too because coming home from Sweetwater last night he decided we would just go on to Yukon to get some supplies and paint that we needed. I love that about him...He never ceases to surprise me! I am all for random trips. We stopped and ate at Freddy's on the way home which was amazing! They have Fry Sauce that is SO good and the pickles on the burgers aren't just regular dill pickles. They are the longer slices that are fresh and crispy! We got home around 9:30 last night and let Gilly out to play and run off some of her pent up energy since she stayed home while we went on our quick trip.. I hate leaving her but I don't think they would approve of her running around Lowe's!

Today was my first day of RN school! Two semesters of this and I will be done...I am so excited! Tomorrow we start orientation in Vernon, TX at the Mental Health Facility. I am looking forward to this, but also a little nervous. This will make working on Geri Psych look like a breeze. We have been told many stories from previous students and faculty that are pretty wild! Some pretty well known offenders are at this place which makes it interesting but very scary at the same time. Throw a prayer up for me and my fellow nursing students tomorrow!

Hope y'all have a great Monday!

Will post before and after pics of the renovations... Here are a few from this weekend!
