I needed that!

After the horrible day I had Thursday I really needed this weekend. And what a great weekend it has been so far! Yesterday I went out to my parent's house while Paul stayed home and painted the dining room.

Here's before we moved in (note the ugly carpet!)

And I'll be sure to post a picture of the whole room once we do touch ups and move all the furniture back. I think it's going to be very pretty!!

Anyway, while Paul was working so hard on the painting, I was in Brick hanging out with my family and spending some time with M. I got to Brick around 12:15 and went out to lunch with my mom and sister. When we got back Shayla took a nap and then M called to say he was almost there. We met at Pt Pleasant boardwalk and spent some time walking around and talking. I really wish we had more time to spend together. It seems like we never have more than 1-1.5 hours to hang out :-( After he got on the Parkway I went back to my parent's house to have dinner. It was really nice. Shayla is even getting REALLY good at eating with a fork all by herself. It's so cute to watch her - I can't believe how much she has grown up! After dinner, "Grandma Denise" (my mom's best friend) took Shayla for a walk around the development. I was looking forward to the break when my dad said I wouldn't be getting one. He pulled out a flyer for a grill and told me we had to go pick it up - he bought us a grill!! He said now that we had our own house and an actual backyard, we had to have a grill. Woohoo! Paul is currently outside putting it together. Can you guess what we are having for dinner tonight? Yep, hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, and cole slaw - yummy!! :-)
