I know that I've been out for summer vacation for about two weeks...but seriously, I have been busier than ever and haven't had a minute to myself or a second to rest. Things finally changed this morning. I slept in and finished some housework while Matt was at work.
I was sitting down to complete a few grad school assignments when the phone rang. Becky called wanting me to come up to the furniture store to help her decide on some living room furniture. I LOVE fine furniture stores :) so I couldn't resist. She told me not to dress up, but to come quickly because Jonathan and the girls were coming too. We ending up staying at Reeve's for about 2 hours deciding between two sofas. Becky knows what she likes and that is comfortable, plain, and classic. I like to take risks, I love texture, bold colors, but I also like classic things. Taking both of our tastes and the colors of her house into consideration..we decided on a recliner (which is Jonathan's Father's Day gift), a striped chair and ottoman, a textured couch (which I love) and a coffee table! After Matt got off work he ran into Jonathan at Publix (you can tell we live in a small town) and Jonathan warned Matt that Becky and I were in a furniture store together..haha! Double Trouble! Actually, Matt came up to the store and helped us move all the furniture to the Jense's. Luckily, we beat the bad thunderstorms coming our way. The only problem was that their old furniture was still in their living room. So we spent our afternoon napping at their house. I think all 6 of us had a separate place to sit. The furniture looks GREAT with the carpet, paint, and bookshelves already in their living room. I think Jonathan was a little shocked about all the new treasures ;) so he stayed out in the backyard and smoked meat. Becky says that he hates change.
Matt and I ended up coming home for a few hours to work on our house plans and to shower before we had to be back over to the Jense's house for dinner. We had to brave the horrible storm, but the dreary weather made for a perfect night of cards and deep conversations. We were all so tired from our week, that we needed a low key night of relaxation and company. Jonathan is probably the best cook ever. He never lets us down..he prepares the best tasting meals from the salad to desert. After eating we played Uno Attack...haha..it lasted forever and had to be the longest game of Uno ever. Abigail won, while Becky, Matt, and I duked it out. I have never laughed so hard. The three of us are just too competitive (and I don't even like cards)! After we put the girls to bed, we stayed up and chatted about life. Late nights are my favorite times spent with Becky. The guys watch tv and talk in the living room, and Becky and I usually end up in Abby's room having heart to hearts (Anna and Abby sleep together in Anna Beth's bed). Tonight we talked a lot about long distance friendships and how hard it is to stay close to people that live far away, even though they may be your best friends. We also talked about our Sunday School classes, the Halloween party that we're going to have, jean capri's, Sex and the City, furniture...of course, being scared at night, and raising kids. I am so GRATEFUL that the Lord brought our families together. Nothing beats a Saturday full of furniture shopping and friends. :)
