Great weekend

This weekend was one of those that was absolutely fabulous. And to think, I thought it would be really crummy.

I wasn't looking forward to this past weekend for a few reasons...one, a fashion show that I really didn't want to go to but was forced to go to by my mom and two, I had to work on Sunday and realized quickly that I didn't want to. Instead, things pleasantly surprised me.

On Friday, WHF and I went out to dinner with his best friend and fiancee (another thing I wasn't looking forward to). It actually turned out ok, but still wasn't my favorite thing in the world. (I just really don't care for his best friend very much.)

Saturday, I did the fashion show, which I had to work for my parents taking pics. While I was bored a majority of the time, I did have a friend to keep me company...so that helped. The food was kind of fru-fru (chicken salad in a carved out tomato and fruit. I don't eat a lot of fruit...:( The cake was good though. Chocolatey and delish!

After the fashion show, my friend and I decided we were going to spend the day together. So, we took her half-sister and niece to a pumpkin patch. We had a blast and this place was amazing!!! We went through a straw maze (I felt claustrophobic...so, never again!), watched the goats, played on tire swings, rode a really fun zip line, and went on a wagon ride. We also picked some pumpkins.

From there, we went to the Duck Park to feed bread to the duckies. Once our bread was depleted, we went to drop off her sister and niece and then we went to make dinner.

Her family owns a produce stand, so we stopped there for some supplies and then off for home.

We made BBQ chicken, baked beans, baked potatoes, and corn on the cob. OMG! It was such an amazing meal! And the baked potatoes and corn on the cob were the best I'd ever had. Fresh produce really is SO much better. I'm definitely stopping there again! No more stale produce for me!

Once dinner was over, we (the guys had joined in by dinnertime) sat by the fire pit and roasted marshmallows and made smores. We had a really, really good time. The boys loved playing with the fire, but I think us girls enjoyed it a lot too!

Then Sunday, WHF and I went to our town's Fall Festival. It's a street blocked off and has tons of food booths, craft and other product booths, and various other things. It's a time to see friends and really enjoy the town we live in. And trust me, we did!

We brought our little fluffball with us, but she got to be too yappy at the other dogs, so I had to put her in a carrying case so she wouldn't see them anymore. WHF and I enjoyed our time walking up and down the street and seeing all the people we know.

I also found that my job wasn't too difficult, as all I had to do was find people to interview...which is harder than it looks!

I'm so glad this weekend was better than I thought it would be. I was really dreading it. Now I'm dreading this weekend coming up...I know for sure this weekend will be an all working one. :( And definitely not as fun as this last one...for sure.
