Weekend getaway

Betsy took Friday off work and enjoyed the day doing various things.  At first it was supposed to just be a 1/2 day off because she was going with Sandra Orr to Georgetown, KY to scrapbook for the weekend (Friday and Saturday).  Well then she received a new calling, the second counselor in the Stake Primary so we have meetings on Friday mornings - so I changed my vacation to a full day.

I got to sleep in (a little bit) then attended my church meeting at 9:00 am.  From there I did some returns then got temped to do some shopping for Jessica and Marissa's ski trip.  WOW!  I got them both new ski jackets.

Around 1:20 I picked up Sandra at her house and off we headed to Georgetown, KY ... Scrap, Paper and Scizzors.  It was a smaller shop then we thought, but it served our purpose!  I wrote journal entries for my ancestor photo albums.  I had planned on finishing my digital scrapbooks, but she didn't have WIFI - UGH!!!!  We scrapped from 2:30 - 7:00 and then went to dinner at O'Charleys.  It was great to get away and talk.  Then we went back to scrapbook for a few more hours.  We were there until midnight.

Both Sandra and I were feeling under the weather so we both hit the sack as soon as we checked in.  We slept in.  I really couldn't sleep but she slept in until 10:00 am.  We stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast before heading back to the scrapbook store.

I was able to finish the 2014 Christmas pages and then continue with my journaling.  The best part about journaling is that I connect with those in the photos.  I spoke with my dad about his parent's courtship and then I called my cousin, Mark Lingel to get his story.  He had been married and divorced so I wanted to be sensitive to what I wrote about him.  It was so nice to speak with them and catch up.

Sandra and I packed up around 5:00 pm so that we could get back home by 6:30 pm.  While I was gone, Mark was in Lexington taking the CPA exam.  We wanted to get back home to take him out to celebrate getting the exam done!  I'm so proud of him for working so hard towards this goal.

We ate at the Noodle Company.  I hope we are making wonderful memories for our kids!
