Clark Girls

Good Morning. It felt so good to sleep in today. Some days I feel bad about sleeping in because it makes the day so short and I feel like I wasted it, but today it was well deserved! The Luddy's got here on Friday night, just in time for dinner. We ate and caught up and had a really good time. We got up on Saturday morning for a tour of Beck's courtesy of Will. Then of course, we had to stop by Tom and Amy's to show off the chickens and the garden. It took a little encouragement, but Vivian was able to teach Tommy and Nick how to pick up the chickens. Afterward, we went to Jackson Street Cafe and had a delicious breakfast, which was capped off with Nick spewing in my Dad's car on the way home. It was quite comical to see Heather dealing with that situation and cleaning up the puke from the back of the passenger seat (Mick had a very close call-- he was riding shotgun!). Everyone spent the day on the boat while Jake and I went and ran some errands, which included a Mt. Dew Slushie, stopping by the Vieke's, finishing up our anniversary shopping and dinner at Mexican. It was quite delicious and when we got back we had the house to ourselves so we sat on the porch for a good while, then popped some popcorn and watched a movie on the new TV. A perfect date night in the basement, just like the good old days!! Sunday morning the Luddy's left after a big breakfast with Mariol. Then we had the Brownlee's over for a boat day. It was really choppy out on the lake but that didn't stop the tubing and swimming. It was perfect weather for a lake day.

Today I have to go to work just from 1-4 for a meeting, so I am happy. We are now less than three weeks away from hopefully getting our house! I am in definite immediate need of a king sized mattress. Less immediately, I will be searching for a queen bed and matress for our guest room, a new desk for Jake, and a dining room table, oh and patio furniture (that might be stretching it a little bit!). I hope to see some more blogging this week please!! Maybe some pics from Marco?
