I love productive weekends....

So, I have not blogged in awhile but better late than never, right? Jon and I had a wonderfully productive weekend - more so than most in the past few months. Friday night, we made dinner and watched a movie. Saturday morning, we were up early and running errands by 9 a.m. We hit up the grocery store, got haircuts (I usually go to my salon but can't get in for another few weeks and desperately needed a trim), worked out and then strolled around Best Buy. This never leads to good things.....

While we're in Best Buy, I immediately go to the appliances. We have talked about upgrading our appliances to stainless since we moved in but decided we would do it one piece at a time. We priced out some options at Best Buy and then it hit us.....duh, let's get ourselves over to Brand Smart and haggle us into some new appliances. We swore we would still only buy the fridge if the price was right. Well, the price is ALWAYS right at Brand Smart so we ended up with a brand new, stainless steel (it's actually titanium:) LG fridge. It's the most beautiful thing I have seen -kidding. However, they didn't have it in stock so Jon is picking it up tomorrow. But wait, the shopping did not end there. Does it ever???? We also ended up with a new dishwasher which matches the new fridge perfectly. We almost bought the stove/range but it wouldn't fit in the truck so we have already picked it out and will be back next weekend for that!!! And do you know what I am listening to now? The sound of my dishwasher making NO noise at all and I'm loving it.


After Jon installed the dishwasher (a hilarious event in and of itself), we made dinner, and headed out to a neighborhood bar for a few drinks. I am still doing really well with the patch and not smoking so that was not even an issue last night. This morning we got up, worked out and decided to take a day trip to Dahlonega for lunch and to walk around. It was such a nice day, albeit a little cold, and it was a nice drive. We had lunch at this little cafe and then hit up the outlets on our way back. Trust me, we are not rolling the dough but we sure acted like it this weekend. Oh well! Our saleslady at Brand Smart told us it's better to buy this stuff now because once we have a baby, ALL of our money will be going towards the little one.

After we got home today, I did some work, made some fruit snacks for the week (smoothies and nonfat pudding with fresh fruit) and am now sitting down to relax.

And on that front, we are still trying to get preggers. I am such an impatient person and once I decide I want to do something, I want it to happen right then so even after trying for just a few months, I am SO ready for it to happen. I have already invested in a few books and think I'll buy Jon a book next weekend since he's so interested in the entire process. He is going to make such a great dad!! We even have our names picked out. If it's a girl: Madison Nicole and if it's a boy: Jackson Nicholas. Are we getting ahead of ourselves or what???

And finally, I went and saw the doctor on Friday about my knee and she wants to do an MRI. That sucks and I had to call by OB-GYN to see if I could even though I am not even preggers yet and she said it was fine since it will be confined to the knee area. I am hoping to get that done sooner than later. I guess we will see....

So, signing off and I will try to blog again before another two weeks goes by. And, I'll be sure to upload pics of our new stainless kitchen once everything is in:)
