Busy Life!!

I have so much to post from our Memorial Day Weekend trip to new recipes and just life in general, but life itself has just been so busy lately with so many things happening that I haven't even had the chance to sit down and post.

Let me just give you a synopsis of our last 72 hours or so...
I'm on summer hours at Saint Mary's now..so on Friday, I worked from 8am-1pm.  Then I drove over to All Saints Chapel in Raleigh to assist Priscilla with a wedding from 1:20pm-10:00pm.  Kevin was off work at 6pm on Friday and I have no clue what he did except eat dinner and watch tv and then try to shuffle me off to bed as soon as I walked in the door that night.  He was eager to get me into bed because of our early start on Saturday, but I still needed to gather things and prepare myself for the next morning.

The Bride and Groom!

All Saints Chapel Rocking!!

Saturday, we were up at 5am to load furniture in Kevin's car and be at church by 5:45am to unload and set up for our church-wide garage sale for orphans.  We were out there from 5:45am-noon.  Seriously, at 9:30am, I was ready for lunch and thought it had to at least been noon or later!  (Sidebar-but our bible study raised the most money of any group based on items sold and all together, we raised $17,000 for the orphans in Haiti through Help One Now.  Second sidebar-I am not cut out for garage/yard sales!  I feel that my "stuff" is more valuable than people think it's worth and it crushes me when I don't get top dollar...and all of the money was being donated, so I may be greedy, but I'm greedy for the sake of orphans!)
At noon we packed up our unsold wares and went home to unload and grab our pool stuff.  We stopped at Subway for Kevin to grab some lunch and headed to Clayton to swim with Jamie and Billy and their kids for the next few hours.  We were there until 7pm and had a BLAST!  We did not want to leave! 
However, at 7pm, we had to pack up and drive back to Raleigh to the Oakwood neighborhood to deliver a piece of furniture that we sold.  We drove home and remembered we had been invited to our neighborhood block party, that we had forgotten about, but drove right into!  So, we parked, walked over to talk to the neighbors and grab some food and spent about an hour out there.  We finally made it inside, showered, lathered Kevin up with Aloe because he was FRIED from a day in the sun with no sunscreen, and went to bed....

Hayden was attached to Kevin all day.  She just loves him!

 Only to wake up at 7am (I think Kevin got up at 6am since he had to get to church early to set up the parking lot) to park cars at church.  We parked from 9am-1pm, packed up and Kevin finished his Team Leader duties while I ran to the mall for a quick trip to Loft (I had a coupon that was expiring that day).  Somehow that turned into over an hour of shopping in Loft, but I grabbed my bags and went home to eat.  Thankful that Kevin had cooked lunch!  I ate, napped for about 2 hours and then we got up and dressed and drove 30 minutes to Wakefield for the 2nd Annual Catchin' Fireflies 5K that we've been training for for about 2 months.  We didn't run until 7:30pm, so there was a bit of waiting around after registration.  The hills were killer and it was so hot and humid out, but we both finished strong!  By the time we left there it was 9pm and we had a 30 min. drive home.  We both showered and then it was time for bed.  Forget dinner or catching a quick show on tv.  And we didn't care because we were so exhausted!

After the race..the street lights look like "fireflies"!

This morning we both slept in a little bit, but it was still off to work.  And that, my friends, is the last 72 hours of our life!  Whew!  How do we do it?  I don't know, but I hope to slow down this week a bit so I can post things I've been meaning to post for the last few weeks!  Happy June!! (HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???)
