This weekend Ray and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary! It was wonderful to have 3 entire days off together since we usually only have Sundays together. On Saturday the 3 of us spent the day doing some shopping! :) We headed out to the outlets in North Bend, we enjoyed some good lunch (well Ray and I thought so) at the Mongolian Grill. Elli got lots of new clothes because the sales were amazing! We also went to Bass Outlet for the 1st time and glad we did! They were having Buy 1 Get 2 Free on men's and women's shoes so I got a cute pair of wedges, some not too cute but sensible work shoes and Ray got some athletic type sandals. We even got a cute pair of tennies for Elli - all for only $100!! Hooray for sales!! That night I made Ray's favorite meal - Chicken Alfredo Lasagna!
On Sunday we went to church - Elli cried again when we left her at Sunday school! Silly girl! We then dropped Elli off at my parents for her to go to Sequim and visit Great Grandma and Grandpa. She was a good girl, slept the whole ride there! She definitely entertained the family with all her wonderful expressions and the little personality she has! Ray and I then enjoyed lunch at Panda Express and more shopping! We headed to Ikea to get ideas for putting a 'pantry' in our dining area and to make a new closet for Elli's room. I think I found what I want for both things - now we just go back and talk with the design center. We got all new black matching frames to go on our photo wall and a mirror for doing my makeup. Then we headed to Southcenter so I could get a few new shirts and surprise Ray by taking him to Helzberg to get a new ring! He picked one out and we both love it! It should be here in a few weeks since we had to special order it. We then had to hurry home to feed Max and let him out so we could go to dinner. We went to The Flat Iron Grill in Issaquah and it was AMAZING! We haven't had such good food in a long time! We got clams and chorizo as our starter - delish! And then the shared platter that had jumbo prawns, steak, 1/2 chicken and housemade chorizo! It was soooo good! I had been eyeing the desserts but after all that food there was no way I could've eaten any! After dinner we had to call to check up on Elli and tell her goodnight! She was so cute on the phone - I love that girl! While talking with my mom she kept asking for a cookie - she is a cookie monster! Ray and I then headed to Target to get some essentials - like soap and shampoo - exciting I know. We went home hoping to watch Just Go With It but I didn't realize it doesn't come out until next weekend! :( So we bought Love And Other Drugs instead - I was very surprised at it.
This morning we got to sleep in! I slept until almost 9!! It was wonderful! We then did a little work around the house - Ray did TONS of laundry this weekend! I updated our photo frames, I think I slept too much though because I wasn't feeling too well so I wasn't as productive as Ray. We then made a trip to Goodwill and donated a car load of clothes, toys and housewares! It felt so good to get rid of some stuff! We then wandered around Fred Meyer and Michael's for awhile. I'm thinking of signing up for cake decorating classes - it looks like fun! We then went to my parents to pick up the monkey and she was so happy to see us - she wouldn't stop hugging us! Oh it almost made me cry! My mom and I then ran out to get a pedicure together - it was wonderful! The last one I got wasn't too good - we went back to our favorite place and they did a wonderful job! A great end to a great weekend!
PS - I just finished reading 'Something Borrowed' and 'Something Blue' and 'Water for Elephants'! Now I need to see some movies!! :)
