Let's see -Friday when I got home from work, John was taking a nap. So, I curled up next to him and took a nap too! It was awesome :D Then we got up for dinner and took Carter to the dog park. After that we just hung out for the rest of the evening and no joke, went to bed by 11:30. What in the world?! When did we get so old? Maybe when John started having to get up around 4am? probably. I dont get up quite that early, but it had been a few long weeks with not a lot of time down time and I was exhausted.
Saturday of course I woke up at 7:30. YIKES. I went back to sleep. haha John and I were both still up by 10am. Voluntarily! Again, I feel old! haha. We took our time getting ready for the day and then and went and ate brunch in the dining hall. We decided to take Carter back to the dog park to help with some of that amazing energy he has. We got to the dog park and it started to thunder. I was like quick- let him off his leash so he can run! haha. He got about 15 minutes of play time before it started to pour. Sad. I love how tired the dog park makes him. haha. We have started going a few times a week. Last week we went 4 times! It's awesome. there is also a sidewalk that goes all the way around the dog park- on the inside and John and I decided that instead of sitting and watching Carter play- we'll walk the loop and watch him play. We only got around it twice before it started raining real hard. We figured out that about 6 1/2 times around it is a mile. At least it's some exercise!
Anyway, we left and decided to go to Jared's to get John a new wedding ring. Since it was raining and not that hot out- we just took Carter with us. Of course he stayed in the car, but he didnt mind- he napped! The people in Jared were nice as always. We found the exact same ring for John (a size smaller though). Of course the price of gold has gone up a lot, so it was a lot more expensive than the first one :( At least we had the ring insured and insurance helped pay for it. We asked about having to buy another extended service plan since the plan follows the ring, but the guy was really nice told us that nobody would ever know that it wasnt the first ring. SCORE! That saved us another $70! We also decided to have it engraved with the same thing that we had in it before, even though I joked with John and told him I was going to have "dont lose this one!" engraved in it. haha. We left my rings as well so they could be inspected, cleaned, and rhodium plated. At first the man helping us told us it was going to about $70 to have my engagement ring cleaned, polished, and rhodium plated since it wasnt purchased from Jared's. I about had a heart attack! He told us that the cleaning and polishing fee was $35 and the rhodium plating was $35 (I was expecting the rhodium plating one). I told him that back home they always clean and polish my engagement ring for free since we got our bands from them. He went and spoke to someone and waived the fee :D If you dont try, you'll never know what could have happened. Anyway, it's weird not having my rings on!
After Jared's we decided to go play some disc golf with Carter since it stopped raining. Carter isnt actually allowed at that park, but we figured if someone asked us to leave we would. We are such rebels. hahaha. Carter wanted to chase all the discs, of course. haha we took him off leash since there was nobody around and he did a pretty good job listening. He retrieved a few discs. It was too cute that we couldnt be mad. Well we got to hole 3 and it started pouring! I also lost a disc in the meantime :( We hid under a tree for a bit thinking it would slack off, but it just got harder. So we went back to the car. We were SOAKED! but it was a lot of fun :D Carter tried to drink the rain. haha I do hate that I lost a disc. Sad.

Anyway, we stopped at Petco on the way home to get some more food and came out with a new leash and collar, and a HUGE bone for him. It's size was literally called mammoth. LOL. We are going to be ordering an antler and bullystick for him (thanks Krystal!) so hopefully we dont have to crate him during the day too. This bone is just for a special treat :D
After all of that and stopping by Blockbuster, we headed home. For the rest of the night we just hung out, watched TV, John played some Xbox, I read my book (I am addicted to the True Blood books). We also played with Carter and gave him his bone....
Mammoth size!
waiting patiently...
and we lost him for the rest of the night. lol
It was a great and relaxing day :D
Sunday, we got up around 11 and went and had brunch. John had a little bit of work to do, so I cleaned the apartment up some and did some laundry. We decided to go out to Michael's to look at picture frames so we could finally frame a few of our NC State photos. We found some that weren't too expensive, but frames are always expensive. Luckily, they were 50% off. We also got some things so we could work on our cornhole boards and I got some scrapbooking stuff. YAY! We stopped by JoAnn Fabrics so I could get some duck cloth to make some better cornhole bags. I was SO happy they had duck cloth in red and black :D After that we stopped by CVS because I had to get some make-up. As my mother in law would say "Shopping wears me out!". We were worn out by the time we got home. haha. We went and got some dinner and then relaxed for the rest of the day. Again, very relaxing. :D I love weekends like this!
MOST importantly- FOOTBALL starts next week! AH! We are preparing an awesome menu for the occasion :D
