Its time for Weekend Recap!! I just love the weekends!! Then, Monday rolls around and we are back at square one. Luckily for me, yesterday was my last Monday of work for at least the next four months, so that's a good start! Although the downside is that school starts next Monday. However, the nice thing about this semester is that my classes on Monday don't start until 11! How sweet is that! No early Monday morning class! Instead, I'll get a little extra sleep.
Friday, Garrett had to go in as usual and I had my Weight Watchers meeting and then some errands to run. I had to pick up the final touches for my gift for the bridal shower that I had on Sunday. I then spent the afternoon painting! This project is nearly finished, so look for that fun post here soon! (Fingers crossed! Hopefully!) One of our friends came in to town from Chicago where she recently moved to open her own business as an Auctioneer/Appraiser/Consultant of Art! She's incredibly talented and I can hardly wait until we have a house and can get some fabulous pieces from her!!!

So anyway, we went to ITAP in Soulard and they had the coolest fountain ever! They were all different beer taps pouring water! I took this picture and texted it to my Dad and told him that he really, really needs one of these at home on the man patio! (Again not the greatest photo! You would think that I would have charged my camera, but no.)
These were my beers! I absolutely love Reissdorf and the Spaten on the left was this year's brew for Oktoberfest! Get excited! Coming to...my blog near you...Oktoberfest 2012 featuring appearances by me, my Dad, Amanda, Ryan, Ted, and maybe Claire if she gets done with work on time!! Haha! Sorry! I was getting excited there. Gotta keep my cool at least until September!
Saturday, we met up again with Maddy and Abby at a delicious Thai place in the Loop. Then we headed down to the cabin for an evening of fun while watching a meteor shower in our zero-gravity chairs! It was pretty cool. There were a bunch that left, what I'm calling, an afterburn, across the sky.
Sunday morning Cyle and the boys came up and we gave them their birthday presents. Clayton got this creepy remote controlled snake that slithers everywhere and Levi got a punching bag with matching blow up gloves! They were entertaining to watch but we didn't get to stick around too long, because I had a bridal shower to get to and Garrett had a tee time to make.
My friend, Julianna, whom I have known since 2nd grade is getting married on September 7th and this week marked the official countdown/all the parties began this past weekend! We had a lovely time at the shower! I wish I had taken a picture of my present! I meant to and then got distracted! I got her a basket with 6 bottles of vino! One for all the major events: Wedding Night, First Dinner Party, First Fight, Christmas Eve, One Year Anniversary, and 1st Baby. Okay so for the baby it was sparkling grape juice. I got a present that was similar at one of my bridal showers last summer and it was one of my favorite gifts! And it was so pretty in its basket! Sad I have no picture, but you get the idea!
Next weekend, we will be embarking on the age old tradition: The Bacherlorette Party! We are going on a float trip! I'm pretty pumped and it makes me remember my bacherlorette party! We had such a good time at the lake!! So I'm really excited about this weekend!!
Until Next Time!
Lots of Love!!
