Wow, how the time flys

This weekend was really nice. We spent alot of time with family, and got a good break from our normal routine. Ashley and Lewis moved into there new apartment. It's really cute! It's alot of room for them. We went to the flea market Saturday and they found all kinds of decorations. It really got me thinking about re-decorating our place. There are alot of things I like about our decorations but I want to change things up a bit. Our apartment is pretty big, 1000 square feet but it just doesn't seem like we have enough room. If you could see it you could see how it's very awkward to arrange furniture in the living room. I have wanted to move things around for weeks but haven't been able to come up with a new way.

Yesterday I got the brilliant idea to surprise Joe with a grill. It's his anniversary present from me I was a month early :) He loves it though he made our dinner last night and has plans to grill things all this week lol. The funny part of the whole thing is my niece and nephews stayed Saturday night with me so we all went to the store to pick out this grill. It never occurred to me that it wouldn't fit in my car. So here we are in the walmart parking lot trying to fit this 83lb box into the car. The box was about and inch to big to fit in the back seat and way to big for the trunk. Imagine me and 3 kids trying to lift this thing around. It was quite humorous for the people in the cars around us, who I have to say never offered to help us either. We finally had to open the box and load all of the pieces into the car. A nice guy finally walked by and helped us out. Thank goodness for him or I still would be in the walmart parking lot. It was definitely and experience I won't forget anytime soon!

hahaha! Oh Kerri I bet that was hilarious! (well, maybe not at the time...)

Was Joe super-excited to see it? Jason would love a grill too. He just starts salivating over the $400 ones at Sears! :)
