A Busy Weekend

Friday night our homegroup was meeting at Longhorns for some adult conversation and good food, when Nate got a call that his very elderly grandma had died. We didn't tell anyone, because we didn't want to dampen the mood, and also we were quite happy that grandma was finally with the Jesus she loved. I had a shopping trip planned for Sunday after church, but that was the scheduled funeral date, so I called my friend DeeAnn and we bumped it to Sat after her daughters birthday party. I was on a mission to get a swimsuit for our upcoming vacation in May. I've gained 10 pounds this past year, and all my old suits were actually starting to come apart at the seams. Not from the weight gain, but I've had most of them for at least 4 years and it showed. We went to the mall and I tried on pretty much all the modest ones that I could find. I bought a cute skirt and tank top combo thingy. I felt relieved that at least I had one functional suite to wear. So we skipped out of the mall, after having one of those fantastic pretzels from Auntie Anne's and headed to my favorite store of all times, Ross. If you have never been, all I can say is, "I'm sorry for your loss." They have name brand stuff at the most ridiculously low prices of any store I know of. I find Teva, Merrill hiking boots and sandals for 20 bucks. I bought a fantastic powder blue lined Liz Clairborne suit for 40, regularly 200. I get just about everything I own from there, anyway this saturday I found something that makes me just about the happiest I've ever been there. I 've had a hard time keeping my eyes off my feet this weekend. I even put my latest find on the night stand, right next to my Bible, which by the way I do love more. Look on only if you have a strong heart.
