Memorial Day Weekend!

First I would like to say how thankful I am that we are able to live in this country and am extremely thankful for all of the men and women who are serving our country and fighting for our freedom!! With that being said... we enjoyed the past weekend and everything we were able to do because of those fighting for us!

Oh... before I forget, our other gift... the one in the big box... was a coffee maker!

It is so awesome and it even has a coffee gauge that tells you when the coffee is getting empty!

Anyway... back to the weekend... Friday night was mine and Eric's DATE NIGHT!!! We went out to dinner at Olive Garden and enjoyed and tasty dinner with some delicious wine. Yum!! Then we headed over to the theater to see Made of Honor. They had canceled the movie because of Indiana Jones, so they gave us 4 movie passes to come back later! We then went back to the house and watched my favorite movie of all times... Return to ME!!! I love that movie! Eric loved it so much that he fell asleep about 1/4 of the way into the movie. It was pretty funny!

Saturday morning, I went over to the boys house and made breakfast and just chilled before having to go to work. I was having a hard time going to work that afternoon. I think because when ever I had gone to work before Eric moved here, meant that I was not going to see him for a couple weeks! Even though I knew he would be at his house when I got back, it was still difficult. It is going to be a big adjustment being away on trips after we are married.

Sunday morning we went to church and then came up to my house for a BBQ. With full tummies, we went to the Evergreen Speedway race track for a fun night of cars crashing and monster trucks running over cars and trailers. It was so much fun and the best part was when they jazzed up the school bus figure eights and had the buses pulling boats behind them while doing figure eights! It was awesome!!! Here are a few pictures from the races.

This one is the school bus figure eights with the boats!

Just the two of us having fun at the races!

Finally, Monday, was a nice relaxing day starting with breakfast followed by a yummy BBQ at the Benders, ending with Andrew's never ending baseball game. All in all... it was a great weekend and am excited for the fun times we will enjoy together this summer and the summers to come.
