Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
We started out our Black Friday shopping around 8:30 on Thanksgiving night.  We sat around the island at home and planned out our attack!

We headed to Target first and got everything we were after.  It was controlled chaos for sure!  We stood in line for a while but it went by pretty quick.  After that, the next stop was Kohl's but it wasn't open yet.  We thought we would try walmart but it was a complete mad house and we didn't want any part of that.  We grabbed a bite to eat and then headed to Kohl's to get in line.  We did our shopping at Kohl's and that's where we had to wait in line the longest.  We then headed to the mall and our first stop was Macy's and we found these awesome hats!!

We shopped our little hearts out and made it home by 7:30 that morning.  We all slept for a few hours then were up for the day.  We hung out at the house and then all went to dinner that night and then came back to the house to hang out.

 

Saturday

I got up and packed all my stuff up so I could get home at a decent time.  I got all my stuff unloaded and settled then took a nap.  I headed off to work for the night.

 

Sunday

I made it through my first night back to work and was so exhausted when I got home.  I'm off to do it again tonight and tomorrow night.

Chad

Saturday, I lost Chad.  My first love, one of my best friends, one of the best guys I know.

Of course he would want to photo bomb our picture 

Classic Chad...always a funny guy

As I look back on pictures and think about all the times we spent together, I just continue to realize that none of us will ever have that again.  I just can't even imagine how it's going to be now when we're all together without him. 
I know he's watching over all of us now. 
I'm going to miss him so much.
Everybody will.
I just can't put it into words how I'm feeling, I'm just sad and heart broken.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday

I spent the day working at the restaurant.  I was so tired all day and had little energy by the end of the night.  I just came home and read a little then went to bed...and I think did some laundry.  I needed to be in bed early anyway because I had to get up early to go back to work in the morning.

 

Saturday

I worked 6-2 at the restaurant and then came home to shower and change clothes so I could meet my friend from work to do a little shopping.  We did some damage at Dillard's!! 

My new phone case

After Jess and I were done shopping, I headed down to Niki's to hang out with her and Ryker.  He loves his new playmat!!

 

The dog, Marley, watching out for baby brother

Later on the night, we decided to rent the movie Campaign.  I was not impressed and thought it was pretty stupid.  Will Ferrell was rather obnoxious but Zach Galifianakis was hilarious!!  (Yes, I had to look up how to spell his name)

 

Sunday

Some of us girls from work made plans to go to the wineries today.  We met around noon at the first one and had so much fun from then on out!!!

My new Coach bag....loving the orange and mustard this season!

I brought my little camera so the pictures look a little blurry to me, I'm guessing because I made them bigger!
