Labor Day Weekend

So it seems the posts have been relegated to the weekend. So here is the week's update...

Had a nice meeting at work this week with the staff to kick off the weekend. Saturday Erin and I enjoyed a girl's night out in downtown Columbia. We met friends for dinner, drinks and dancing while visiting a few new bars. Aaron and Kendall hung out with Scott and the family where they got to take a few of the football games.

Sunday we went shopping for a new stove. It seems that a smooth cook top can crack fairly easily when you accidentally drop a bottle of olive oil. And since the cost to replace just the range top is essentially the same as a new stove, it was off to the appliance store we went. And...since we were there why not look at some televisions right? That's right after about an hour we not only had a new stove, but a 47 inch flat screen LG television, and a blue-ray disk player - just for good measure. All will be delivered on Wednesday. So we'll be sure to update you with pictures once they all arrive.

Monday we baked a bit to prepare for our day with friends. Erin made a corn salad and I made Texas sheet cake and bean salad. Then we loaded up and headed to help the Boyce family celebrate daughter Kate's first birthday. We could only stay a bit as we had another engagement in Gaston for a pig pickin' with Aaron's coworkers/friends. Here we are enjoying some pork bbq.

The pig and potato gun.

This morning I was up early with Aaron. It is only 8:15 a.m. and I have already had my coffee, cleaned both bathrooms, watered the plants, unloaded the dishwasher, started the laundry, and started to dust. Hopefully the rest of the day is as productive. Tonight is our first Zumba class at the leisure center, so hopefully it is fun because otherwise I don't think I will be able to drag myself to three nights of exercise a week (added to our aerobics class on Monday and Thursday)! Meanwhile Aaron has buffed up (and lost about 10 pounds) as well in his new P90X routine.

Hope everyone had a weekend as productive and fun as ours!

P.S. Here is the finished project of the dresser that Erin helped to refinish for her room. Check out the before here.
