Our weekend began Friday night. Cliff and I opted for a night in. I was exhausted from the week and just wanted some R&R. We searched high and low for something to watch on TV and found nothing. We looked in our DVD collection and found nothing that spiked our fancy. Finally we decided to head to Blockbuster, well and to our surprise found nothing on the new releases. We decided to rent and old movie and Cliff picked it out. We ended up with Naked Gun... The first one. We grabbed a pizza and headed to the house. Relaxing evening with my hubby and Cutter.
Cutter went outside for a bit to do his business and came to the window and began scratching, which meant he was ready to come back inside. Well I was being lazy and so was Cliff and we didn't get right up. Suddenly, I had the feeling in my head and stomach that Cutter was up to no good and I had a few hanging baskets on the ground that I had watered earlier. Much to my thinking, I went outside and the little rascal had destroyed majority of one of my baskets. I don't know what was wrong with me but I immediately began crying. Cliff ran out thinking something was wrong. I was so upset. Cutter had done so good so far this year and then BOOM!He destroys one basket I truly thought was beautiful. Well Cutter was upset for a long time and should be. Cliff never actually got to spank him and but he did throw the fly swatter at him. I promise we aren't violent, but Cutter knows better. We lost majority of all of the flowers and plants in our backyard last year due to the dog. We literally tried everything. We even bought a spray at Petsmart and one day left the bottle on our patio table, and came home that evening and the 100% guaranteed bottle of magic solution was destroyed!!! Needless to say. we got our $17 back, but nothing keeps this dog from digging. We have bought a solar powered electric fence but haven't installed yet. We keep praying that someone he will refrain from doing so. So again we are back to square one and I go home every afternoon after work with the hope that he has been good.
Saturday, Cliff and I slept in. For me to sleep in a miracle usually has to happen or I am up at 7:30 - 8:00. But today was a good day. I slept until 10:00!!! We got up got ready and headed to Walmart and Lowe's. We bought a few things at Walmart and then headed to Lowe's. Oddly enough, while at Walmart I decided to check the gardening center and found one of the hanging baskets Cutter tore up. Of course I asked Cliff and he said I could get one. YEAH!!!! The Decatur Walmart somehow brightened my day. I have one of those Miracle Grow water sprinklers that you attach the plant food bottle too and mine broke. :( So we found a new one. Unfortunately while there instead of spending the $10 we spent $100. We found some absolutely, beautiful star gazer lilies. And for most of you that know, they are my favorite and actually my main flower at the wedding. I was just in awe.... We went home and spent the rest of the day outside. I working in my flower beds, killed some ants and got sunburned. Yes sunburned. I didn't think the sun was strong enough but I was a little strawberry that evening. Cliff worked behind the fence again and got about 10 more feet cleaned out, he installed some new hooks for my flowers, wind chimes and bird houses. We were pooped by 8:00. I had a brisket slow cooking all day in the over and it hit the spot!!! We had strawberry shortcake for dessert and quite delicious. Cliff actually decorated it and did a very lovely job if I do say so myself. We hit the sack shortly after dinner.
Easter day was glorious! I am so thankful for what Jesus did on this day. How much more blessed can we be that he died for us on that sacred cross. He is the Almighty King who paid my price and His death has brought me life. I love the gracious Lord above Endlessly!!! Cliff and I actually didn't attend an Easter service. We headed to my moms house and then on to East Texas to my grandparents ranch. We spent the day there and had a wonderful time. It seemed so weird not to attend church, but my Grandad years ago stated... sometimes you have to give your seat up to those who don't attend regularly. Perfectly stated. My grandma made a wonderful lunch! We chatted and the togetherness is just priceless! Cliff and I spent some time outside there riding the mule on trails and just taking in the beautiful scenery. We headed home late that afternoon. Cliff spent time in the back seat watching movies and my mom and I got to chit-chat the entire time in the front. Mom got me a beautiful Brighton cross necklace and Cliff and Barnes and Noble gift card for Easter. I always love the Easter bunny still paying a visit! Thanks mama! We love you dearly!
I was off Monday since I worked Friday. I spent the day cleaning and relaxing. We went to the Wise County Christian Counseling Fund Raiser during the evening. It was just an eye opening experience to take in the words Beverly Ross spoke. She is an amazing person inside out and truly wants to help those through God's word. The program is a non-profit program here in Wise County and her office is located inside with my office. Everything about the evening was remarkable. We chose to donate and hope to continue to be able to donate to this wonderful and out-reaching organization. We also had wonderful fellowship with our Pastor, Monty and his wife, Tamaria. We truly love and are blessed to have met them since arriving in Decatur.
