Memorial Day Weekend



We are really enjoying having Matt home for the weekends.. ever since he started at Carmax, he has worked most weekends..but, this new job allows him to be home for them! YAY!!

So, he got home Friday night..and I was feeling a little under the weather, so he was excited to put Presley to sleep and I went to bed early.
The next day we didn't do a whole lot..which was so nice! We did go to Martin's BBQ for lunch, which was so yummy, and because I didn't feel up to cooking..we went to dinner at Pie in the Sky and ate on the patio..when it feels good outside is a perfect setting to me! We also have been enjoying our little patio and backyard area..so relaxing to sit out there in the afternoons.. When its not so hot!
Then on Sunday, we visited Fellowship Bible Church..which we REALLY liked. The people were SUPER friendly, and Presley enjoyed learning about baby Moses :) We plan to go back! Then we ate lunch at Uncle Bud's Catfish, again trying new places near us :) That night, I cooked one of my favorite casseroles and we watched a movie together.. I just LOVE watching a movie with my man!! We watched Couples Retreat..it was pretty funny! :) Next time, I plan to have popcorn and m&ms! :)
On Monday, Matt was off (yay!) so we had a lazy morning, then ate lunch, let Presley take a nap, then headed over to our friends the Mckown's parents house in Lebanon. We went swimming ( which Presley LOVED!!) She did great with her floaties..first time to wear them! :) Next, went to their house for lunch. It was so yummy..we had the works! I brought a Heath Bar Cake that I made the night before.. It turned out so good! Its one of my easy, yummy favorites! I also didn't take ONE picture the entire weekend, except with my phone. It was pretty great to enjoy the "moments" without worrying about carrying a bulky camera around!
This weekend was extra special to me because I have 2 brothers that currently serve in the Army and are both actively on duty overseas. I am SO thankful for ALL the men and women who serve and have lost their lives to protect our country and allow us to have the freedom we do. Let us remember them and their precious families daily!!
