Oh I apologize... it's been days since I said I would have an update - my bad! Life seemed to get the best of me this week and now it's Thursday night.
To give you an update...
Sunday went great! We had 13+ people over to our home and had a great lunch together. The guest list included: Donna & Phil (Sam's parents), Laura & Josh (Sam's sister & brother-in-law), Matt (Sam's brother), Sam's grandparents, Sam's Aunt Linda & her daughter & grandchildren, and Sam's cousin Jessica & her boyfriend Jacob came too. It was a great time to show off our home and catch up with one another. On a funny note, we were hanging out in the bonus room when Josh sat up on the futon and broke the bed! Yeah, it was funny, but now we have to fix it. The festivities lasted until about 3 or 4 and then the party began to slow down. Around 4, it was just immediate family left, so the girls decided to make a trip up to Woodburn, while the guys stayed behind to play cards. I didn't get anything else from Woodburn because I had already spent WAY too much to begin with. Donna got some good finds and Laura scored with 3 pairs of Clark shoes - I was jealous! I had a great time with my new mother-in-law & sister-in-law! They are two amazing women of God! When we got home, the guys were in the middle of a game, so we popped in The Holiday (Sam & I's engagement movie!) and relaxed a bit. Matt headed home for the night and the girls went up against the guys in a game of Taboo - which ended in a tie. Around 11pm, we all headed to bed.
On Monday, we all took our time getting up and Laura & I made a delicious breakfast - waffles, bacon, and fruit. Then we cleaned up and headed to the park up the street and played a game of Bocce Ball - girls against guys. I believe the guys won, but it was a good game nonetheless. After the park, we walked back to our house and ordered Papa Murphy's pizza and played another game of Taboo - guys one again. Us girls must have been off our game that weekend...
All in all, it was a great weekend. I have a few pictures from the last couple weeks/weekends on my camera and maybe this weekend I'll have the time to upload them on to my computer. There might be some prime picture-taking coming up soon, so we'll see what happens.
Other than a busy weekend and a great Labor day with family, Sam & I have been working hard. We work all day and then come home and enjoy each other's company. Today, we had lunch together with the people he works with. If you know me, I get shy and quiet around new people, and this made me quite nervous, but everything went fine. They are very nice and it was cool to see who Sam works with and the people he talks about.
This weekend, we'll be staying home. Stay tuned for pictures & any fun adventures we get ourselves into =)
