Weekend News

We had a great weekend this past week! Thursday we spent most of the day with the Good Samaritans pricing items for the ICYC yard sale we are doing. It's a lot of fun going through people's old junk. There are always interesting things to discover! Friday I had lunch with some of the ladies at church to celebrate Sally Hyche's birthday. We ate at Cracker Barrel and it was delicious and fun. Then Katie, Hannah, and I took a trip to Party City to find some things we needed for the Graduation Banquet. After that we were off to the ICYC Walkfest. As always, it was a fun time! Jared couldn't go because his parents were on their way in from Brundidge so he had to wait for them to get here. He took them to The Fish Market downtown. Back to the Walkfest...I helped serve food for awhile and then I followed Xander and Addi around. Pam and Addi and Xander and me rode the swing thingy. Xander was a little scared and tried to break out of the buckles! I somehow managed to distract him with crazy things like "Hey! Guess whose in my pocket? It's Diego!" and then he tried to get him out and then remembered he wanted off and finally we started moving and he LOVED it! He wanted to ride again, but it was an extra $3. Nicely, an adult rode free with a child, but once was plenty. Then, at the end of the night, they called the last prize winner. The prize was a tv and guess who won???? ME!!!!! It was my lucky day! I ran down that football field screamimg like a wild banchee to claim my prize! Now my voice is gone and hasn't fully came back! I'm a loud talker, but not a screamer, so I lost my voice. Plus I had sinus problems that also contributed. I lose my voice easy though. Anyway, I had told Xander earlier that night that I MIGHT give him my prize if I win one. You see, 2 years ago I won a #1 Grandpa hat, so I thought I had nothing to lose. Well, Chris tried to say I gave it to Xander so the tv was going to their house, but really! I said MIGHT! Now it is in my bedroom and I am loving it! Saturday Jared, Casey, and Jared's dad, Mr.Harry all went to the Alabama A Day Game. They filled the stadium to capacity and after the first quarter they had to close the doors and not let anyone else in. There were over 92,000 people there. Jared and them got there early and got really good seats. They were about 30 row back on the 35 yard line. They came home burnt to a crisp, but had a good time. Jared's mom and Granny (you might remember her as the Leprechaun in a previous post) and Pam and I went to the WaterMark outlets and spent about 4 hours just in the DressBarn! Pam didn't know what she was in for. lol That night Jared's parents, Granny, Casey, and the two of us went to Dale's in Vestavia Hills. It was very tasty! Then we had dessert at Starbucks and it was good as always! It was a great weekend and I am very fortunate!
How did ya'll like American Idol last night? I really enjoyed it and stayed up too late trying to watch it all after church.
Well, I am looking forward to this weekend!
