Memorial Day Weekend 08

Our weekend didn't go as planned, but thats ok! The weather did not shape up, so the beach got ruled out. How much fun is the beach in the rain?? Not much!
So instead, Friday we went to dinner with my parents and then came back to the house for some wine. We watched an old Indiana Jones movie to! It was fun. They headed home at about 10, and Trav and I got a little more serious with the drinks! I drank WAY to much wine. I was actually chugging it at a couple points, which is never a good idea. So needless to say when I woke up Sat morning I wasn't feeling the greatest.
We stayed in bed until after 12! When we finally got up, we had some lunch....grilled cheese! Yummy. Then we decided to do our chores and errands just in case the weather shaped up Sun and Mon, so we could go to the beach if it did. After running all our errands we came back to the house and did some yard work for a few hours. We are working on edging the front yard. It's about half done now.
After all our hard work on the yard we went and got some burgers and then headed over to Linds and Brians to watch Cloverfield.
Sunday we slept in until about 11, and got up to pretty much do nothing. It was great having a day to just be able to relax! The weather showed rain on the coast...so we decided not to do that. We laid around watching TV and bbqing most of the afternoon. In the early evening we went to get our hair cut....and then came home. We went to bed at about 1. It was a good night.
Monday we got up at 10, and laid in bed talking until 11. We got up and went rollerblading around town. It was fun. We talked about the house we'd like to have someday. We got home and got ready to go to a bbq at Air's. We got there a little after 2, and ate at about 3. We had great food and great drinks all day! Trav and I headed home at about 8:30.
Now it's back to another work week. I'm sad that the long weekend is over, but it was very relaxing. And now this week is only 4 days!! Friday will be here before I know it! This weekend we are going to dinner with Mon and JD on Friday night, and Sat Air is taking me to get a pedicure for my bday and then we're going to go shopping! It should be good fun!
Trav and I are going to start exercising again. He has a weight bench at home, so he is going to start lifting, and we're going to go for walks/jogs or rollerblading, etc for our cardio. While he is lifting weights I'm going to do a little more cardio...some jumping jacks, and of course sit ups! We have a cd player out in the garage so we'll crank up the tunes and get our workout on!
It's a good plan....now we just have to stick to it!
Thats all thats new in the Clark household. Have a good short week!

It's been to long

I haven't posted for almost 2 weeks! The weather has been shaping up around here....keeping me busy!
We had a fabulous Mothers day. It was great fun spoiling our mothers!! They both really enjoyed their time with us, and their gifts!
Saturday we did car maint. and chores and cleaned and went groc shopping, etc, and Sunday we woke up early and met the Clarks Sr at church and then took them out for Mothers Day lunch at Kathy's favorite place. Then we rushed to our house to get ready for my parents and grandma to come over! They arrived at 3:30 and we talked and drank wine until 6, when dinner was ready. I made garlic chicken and potatoes with salad and we had fresh pineapple as an appetizer and chocolate ice cream for dessert. It was wonderful!
Grandma left after dinner at about 7:30 and mom and I watched PS I love you, which she has been dying to see. I was chipping in money with my dad to get her favorite perfume but when we got to the house and I gave him the money he gave me a sweater to give her instead! Anyway, I think she liked it a lot. :)
Last weekend we went to Bend to visit Ladd.
We left for Bend right after work on Friday. It was 97 degrees here Friday afternoon!!
It was a little cooler over in Bend than it was in the Valley, but still in the upper 80's to low 90's! Better than the upper 90's like it was here though! Man it was hot! To go from 40 - 50 degrees and rain that we've been having, to 97 degrees practically overnight!! Anyway, we loved the sunshine!
Saturday we went into town to check out Bend. It was fun, we walked around some outdoor shopping malls and stuff. That night Ladd surprised us with tickets to a desert brawl fight. It was really fun.
Sunday we slept in, woke up to a huge breakfast, and talked with Ladd and his parents for an hour or 2. We decided to head home pretty early so we could get our Sunday chores and errands done. On our way out, Ladd made us a beautiful potted plant to take home, and his mom gave Trav some shoes and a suit that were new and had been donated to her for the school! It was very thoughtful!!
Now it's back to another work week! I am looking forward to a 3 day weekend! Trav and I are planning on going to the beach, as long as the weather allows it!! Monday we're planning on edging and weeding the yard, and having a BBQ!
Thats all for now! Enjoy the week.

Strega

May is here! I can't believe how quickly the months keep flying by!! So far the May weather has been pretty nice. It's good to have less rain and more sunshine!
Over the weekend we went to a new restaurant in Corvallis called Strega with Mon and JD. It was a great restaurant. The ceiling even had twinkle lights! And of course the food was delicious.
After dinner we went back to our house and had some drinks while playing the Wii! JD and Mon got Trav the Wii Mario Smash Bros game for his bday, so they played that to check it out. It was really fun.
Saturday we slept in...seriously we slept and slept and woke up around 11, looked at each other, decided we had nothing pressing to do and we were both tired so we laid back down and slept until 2:30!!
So needless to say we didn't do anything until Saturday evening. We went to Air's for a fire. I drank wine spritzers again, and we had a fire and finished off the night at about 3 with spaghetti.
We slept in Sunday until about 10 and got up to start all our Suday chores.
When we were getting home from grocery shopping my mom called and asked if we wanted to go to lunch, but the sun had just come out and it was beautiful and warm so we invited them over for a BBQ. We had BBQ'd chicken, baked beans, fresh pineapple and mango, salad with all the fixin's, and chips! Then my mom and I wanted chocolate so the guys went out and got us some, and the movie 27 dresses. It was still so nice out though, so we got some old bread and walked to the park to feed the duckies. Then we swang on the swings and played on the playground. It was crazy seeing my mom and dad on a jungle gym!!!
We headed back and watch 27 dresses and my parents left at about 7.
Then of course Travy got a hankerin for more bbq so we went to the store to get hot dogs. :) We bbq'd those up for dinner and finally started settling in for the night at 9:30!! Usually we wind down on Sunday nights at like 6!
Monday, as usual, came far to quickly!
It's almost the weekend again now. Tomorrow evening we are going to Linds and Brians for a BBQ, and Sunday is Mothers Day so we are spoiling our moms all day!!
Have a great weekend!
