We got so much done this weekend it was so wonderful. Patrick was home all weekend and Riley was just the biggest sweetheart which made my week wonderful. The next two weeks are going to be pretty hectic with lots planned so it was kind of nice to lounge around the house and relax a bit!
I had the best treat to get to go to Patrick's grandparents house and was given a lot of sewing things. I only wish Grandma Marj was around to teach me more about everything she did as far as crafts. Her craft room was amazing and rummaging through everything was so fun. She had hundreds of zippers, buttons, fabric, elastic, and thread. I definitely wont have to go shopping for all those little items that you hate buying for quite a while. Although I wasn't able to take home everything I would have liked to I was able to take home some great items and hopefully I will get to put them to great use shortly! I am looking forward to the day where I have my very own craft room where I can store tons of those items! Grandpa Bill was in a pretty good mood this day which was kind of surprising because he just had a doctor's appointment and it looks like he may end up living in a nursing home. It is hard to see his good days one day and then just hear about the horrible days the next. I'm sure it is frustrating for him as well. I took the opportunity for a photo op with Riley and Grandma Kay though!
Riley did give me some time to work on my quilt this weekend, I have started piecing it all together so it shouldn't be much longer. I am just hoping that I didn't mess it up too bad with my amateur cutting skills! She loves watching me sew and cook but this happiness doesn't last forever, usually only for about 20-30 minutes max at a time so I make the most of it!
We spent a lot of time at Nana and Papa's house this weekend. I helped my mom clean out a room to get ready for THE MASSIVE YARDSALE, date unknown. We did get the one room done and have quite a collection started for stuff to sell/give away and the baby/craft room is starting to look a bit more organized finally. This is Riley hanging out with Aunt Miranda while we cleaned. It was also my mom and dad's 29th wedding anniversary and we went out to dinner with them, how romantic for them huh!
Another great thing that Patrick and I got to do today was finally, after 3 very long years, I finally saw the one and only Mustang that has been sitting in my garage under a cover. I had never seen it out of the garage since we got together so today Patrick decided to get it out to take me for a drive. He got it started and washed it and we headed over to my parents house to drop Riley off so we could go out driving but we got about 2 blocks away and when he turned on the radio it died. The battery just died. Needless to say he got it started enough to get back home but I never did get to drive in the car, I didn't sit in the car, I did however get to follow the car for 2 blocks...hey it's a start right?!?! I have a feeling that now that he got started he is going to replace the battery, brakes and get it licensed and maybe on our anniversary which is coming up he will take me for a drive, only time will tell!
What I am looking forward to this next weekend is the Farm Chicks show with my cousin, aunt, and mom in Spokane! I can't wait to spend the weekend with my other cousins in their new house and maybe do a little shopping! Also Patrick's step sister is graduating from high school and I unfortunately have to miss that but I am proud of her and hopeful for her future as a nurse!
