Stressing Slightly

So today started off great with Mass with the boys. I will say it every Wednesday but it is the one day a week that I am always looking forward to. It just allows me to unwind and get closer to Christ, which is something I work on daily. The fact that I am able to share the time with my boys means so much.
I am slightly stressd about the registration that I am about to have to pay for as well as tuition that is quickly coming due, but I know that it will all work itself out. Being in a school like St. Francis is truly a blessing, and I know that somehow everything will work out.
This year in organizing my life, I am also determined to get out of debt and make life at least on the monatary front a little easier. It will be nice. I would like to save a little for a mini-vacation but we will just have to see if it is possible. Our vacation this year might be at the lake.
Well, just needed to vent and destress a little.

Amazing Family

Today Brandon and I had a wedding in Decatur. I have been looking forward to this wedding for a few months now.
Brandon and I started the day in the hotel's restaurant, which was delicious. The breakfast was a great way to start the day and something that we both knew would be needed as we had a long day ahead of us. Fortunately weddings are happy times and we were excited.
We left the hotel and headed to the bride's parents house. Meeting everyone was great. The bride was glowing, and like all brides on the wedding day ready for it to get there. The parent's were wonderful people. The wedding was gorgeous, but know that there will be many more details on the actual wedding and the whole day in my photography blog. Watch for it on http://www.monicaannephotography.com/
This was a family that I know I am blessed for meeting. They truly made my day. Meeting great people is part of my job, but these people I think will truly change my life, I think that they already have.
Decatur is an amazing town, and I really enjoyed it. I cannot wait to take the boys, just to check out the scenery and take a lot of just because it is gorgeous pictures! Hopefully we can make it a mini-cation for the family in a few weeks. That is what I am aiming for anyway. We shall see if I can get the checking account to agree with me!
We got home right around 10, it was an easy drive home, there was no traffic! Mom and the boys were here. She stuck around so I could take a shower, I felt gross from being outside and sweating all day. We got the boys in bed, and were right behind them!

Mini-Cation

Fridays are always busy and this one was no exception.

The boys had school, and they had a great day. It was show and tell for John Michael. He had to take something important to him that started with an A, B, C, D or E. He chose his BatPhone. He thought about a Batman, but Danny told him he bet other boys would take a Batman. So he picked his Batphone that was custom made for him by Deborah, and he loves. His whole class liked it, especially the boys! Danny said it was a great day and that he had a good time, but also had homework. There are no free days in third grade.

The boys were excited to be going to Nana's house to spend the night. Brandon and I have a wedding in Decatur Saturday so we are headed up tonight, so we do not have to be on the road all day tomorrow. We were excited about a mini vacation.

We headed up to Decatur and started with finding our hotel. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott, which I was able to get at an amazing price on the night through Priceline.com. I am all about deals and this was definitely a good one. The room was very nice, so we got everything inside and headed out to dinner.

We chose O'Charleys mainly because there is not one in Birmingham anymore. It was delicious. Then we headed back to the hotel and enjoyed some time in the hot tub. They also had an indoor pool, but my shoulder has been killing me and I was hoping that a few minutes in the hot tub would help. It did help some.

Well, I miss the boys like I always do when they are not with me, but we have had a great Friday and I know that they are having fun with their Nana!
