Back to the Grind

We are back from our St. Louis trip. It was really nice, we got to see two NCAA Tournament games and enjoy St. Louis with decent enough weather. It was absolutely gorgeous on Friday. We went to the Galleria Mall on Friday morning and oh-my-goodness it was marvelous. I really wanted to go to Sephora and that was a treat. I got color matched for some new foundation, stocked up on some things I was out of and felt pampered the rest of the day. I love make up and skin care products. Andrew didn't enjoy Sephora so much but he was a good sport about it. We also visited a Barnes & Noble and an Old Navy. Just a little shopping trip before the evening games.

Saturday was an absolute lazy day and I loved it. We went out for lunch and then went back to the hotel to nap and relax. We had plans to meet Andrew's parents for dinner at The Cheesecake Factor around 5:30. Well, we didn't get seated until after 7:30! They are lucky the food was delicious because otherwise I would've been very upset about the wait! We had a nice dinner though and after that went back to the hotel for more rest and relaxation.
Andrew still had two games to see on Sunday with his dad so I had my parents come and pick me up from the hotel and take me back to their house until Andrew came to get me. It is nice because since my parents are in Taylorville, it is on the way. Plus, they are only about an hour and 10 minutes from St. Louis so their drive wasn't bad at all! I gave them some gas money, had lunch with them, napped, had dinner and then Andrew came around 6:30 to take me and the dogs home.

It really was a wonderful weekend, but it was nice to sleep in my own bed and be back home. We have one more trip to take this weekend and then we are done traveling for awhile! My bank account can't handle any more hotel stays. Ha!

Kentucky Wildcats being entertaining!

Besides our weekend adventure not too much is happening. Andrew isn't quite done with his pharmacy tech program but is getting calls for jobs already! I'm very excited for him! The hospital is interested in him and I think that would be a wonderful place for him to work. He kind of has an 'in' there anyway because his dad's friend knows the head of pharmacy at the hospital and put in a good word for Andrew. I'm very proud of my husband for going back to school for this. I know he will truly enjoy it. He has a Bachelor's Degree that he has never used. I think going back to school has made him realize that there are other things out there that he would like to do! Just because you have one degree doesn't mean you can't have more! (I'm proof of that!)

I don't have much else to update at the moment folks. Just getting back into the groove of things after having four days off... just to be gone again this weekend! Haha.

Happy Monday!
