Weekend trip

I am leaving this evening for a little vacation. I am going down to visit my best friend Amy in Texas. She lives in Fort Worth, but I think we are going to spend the majority of our time in San Antonio. I think the plans are that we are going to go to Six Flags, the Riverwalk, and the Alamo while in San Antonio. It should be lots of fun. I have a layover in Memphis on the way down, and a layover in Minneapolis on the way back. I am going down with another friend, Gina. Amy, Gina and I went to Franklin College together. This is the first time that Gina and I will be at Amy's at the same time. I am not really sure if the big state of Texas is ready for us or not, but here we come!

I am excited to go visit Amy and have fun with her and Gina, but at the same time, I am a little sad to leaving Carl here. I know it's only for the weekend, but I am going to miss him a lot! He is actually leaving work an hour early in order to pick me up from the airport when I come back on Monday. How sweet is that! He must really love me!

I am sure that I will have plenty of blog worthy material when I get back home. Stay tuned...

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
