Manly Things & Other Weekend Fun...

DW's friend, Chris, came over to the house on Saturday to help DW cut down a tree that has been the bain of our existance since we moved in.  We didn't even realize that Mimosa trees could grow so big...and when they do, you can be sure that they will rain down crap all over your cars at all times, in all seasons.  So let me just say that I was stoked this particular project was going down.  Thank you, Chris!

I loved hearing the guys talking and laughing and just getting so plain ol' shoulder to shoulder time while they worked.  Friendships like these - those that stand the test of time and accept you for who you are unconditionally - well, they are just a HUGE blessing!  I loved seeing DW laughing so much yesterday and I admit, I found myself strangely attracted to DW doing what Paul Bunyan type men do. ;-) 

SO thankful for these two men...I love one with all my heart and the other truly like a brother.    

After Chris left and we got cleaned up, we headed over to Bob and Greta's house for Gluten Free Pizza and Movie night.  Again, it was a day of counting blessings as we were full up on good friend time.  We ended up watching "The Help" - which I'd seen before but couldn't wait to see again.  I loved it the first time.  Well, I say "watch" but I admit it, I fell asleep during the movie!  HA! I was tired.

On Sunday, DW and I took all THREE pups for a walk on a trail near our house.  Now that Macie is finally feeling better, she is quite the little fireball and makes me laugh! Her and Sam are super playful, which is nice because Tucker isn't much up for playing these days.  We had some sleepy pups after their walk and play time so it was great to come home and have a perfect Fat Kid Sunday on the couch until time for church (we go to the Sunday evening service).  All in all, a great and relaxing weekend...
