A Typical Weekend

We got back from our AMAZING belated honeymoon very late Monday night (another post to come on that soon).  Once we finally found our car at the Park'N'Ride (my mom had left it for us there after a last minute flight change) we got home and crashed, ready for Jimmy to start his first day at his new job Tuesday morning!!  He started working at IQ Apparel & Media- a company that makes promotional items for fast-food restaurants and athletic companies.  Here is the best part: his commute is less than 30 seconds! IQ's office is on the first floor of our apartment building!  So far he is enjoying his new job.  He loves the people he works with, which is a huge answer to prayer!

To celebrate his first week of work, and just because I had gotten the supplies free from Scottish Rite, I surprised Jimmy by turning our apartment into a Hawaiian getaway Friday night.  I made Hawaiian Chicken (yum-o!) and pina coladas, had our house decorated and tropical music playing on pandora.  It was a fun, inexpensive date night!

On Saturday we went to two of our favorite places: Costco and Sams.  Yes, we hit up both wholesale outlets on the same day.  In addition to sitting in some pretty comfy chairs, and one ginormous chair (see photos below), we scored the deal of the century: a Cuisinart ice-cream maker (valued ~$60-70) for $14!!  We made ice cream with the ingredients we had on hand, but any yummy ice-cream recipes you can give me would be appreciated! :)

In other news: we love our church, Watermark.  Tonight we went to a kickoff meeting for Foundation Groups (small groups for young married couples).  We are excited to meet people in the same stage of life who share our love for Christ.  We are praying for the couples with whom God wants us to live life with in this season!!  We won't find out who our group is for 2-3 weeks.

Blessings to you and yours!!  If you are reading our blog, you are in our prayers!
