Weekending

How in the world is it already Monday?? Talk about a weekend that went by WAY too quickly–especially since I’m at work today. I can’t complain though, because I’ve got a three day week! Nothing too exciting happened for the Sloans this weekend but we did get a lot done.

When I got home from work on Friday, I had my first letter from John. Talk about one happy sista!

We headed to Easley to help my Papa and Barbara get moved into their new house. Even though we are so excited about having them closer than Asheville, it was a little bittersweet knowing that we will never get to go back to the “ole home place” where we spent so much time as children.

Saturday morning I woke up to this cutie pie in my face.

“Is it time to get up yet, Mama?”

We spent the day on Saturday decorating for Christmas. Cory’s grandmother stopped by and the first thing she said when she walked in was “are y’all moving?” No, as a matter of fact, all these totes are just my Christmas decorations.

While we were decorating, Gaudence sent Cory this picture from Rwanda and I cried. I miss these sweet faces so incredibly much.

We interrupted our Christmas decorating to get ready for our family pictures for which I still didn’t have our outfits picked out. About an hour before we were supposed to meet Amber, I finally decided on something. Hopefully, we didn’t look like we just threw our outfits together {even though we did}.

We got home and cleared a path {I kid you not} in the totes so we could at least maneuver through our living room and then decorated some more!

We woke up to a very rainy Sunday and had Thanksgiving lunch at church. We got home from church, curled up with the dogs and took a nap while it stormed outside. After our nap, we had to run to Anderson to pick up a few things for our Thanksgiving trip to Texas and when we got home, we came home to some major flooding in our back yard.

We were rushing to get some of our firewood inside from the rain so we could stay warm for evening when Cory accidentally dropped a huge piece of wood on my hand. I’ve never broken a bone so I don’t know what it feels like but I was pretty certain it broke my hand. After a few minutes, the throbbing pain eased off but it started swelling almost immediately. I guess I’ll just have to keep an eye on it.

We finished 99% of our Christmas decorations and ended the weekend with a little Walking Dead, cleaning up the house {at least Cory did} and Christmas tree gazing because it’s just so stinkin’ gorgeous!

How was your weekend??
