Friday evening Andrew and I attempted to eat dinner at the state park lodge dining hall. I'd been wanting to go ever since we'd had our ladies night away in July. The lodge overlooks the lake and it's truly lovely walking. Unfortunately, between it being Family weekend for the university and a festival that was being held at the state park, the restaurant couldn't accommodate us. I asked Andrew to walk with me though so we could at least enjoy the view for a bit. We ended up ordering Mexican take out and sharing a few episodes of a family favorite TV show. Thomas was in the pep band for the the away football game, and I was grateful that Andrew waited up for him so I could get to bed early. It had been a truly rough week at work.
Yesterday it was blissful to sleep in, although Andrew had to work an athletic event. I spent the entire day picking up the house, and was counting down to the UC/Notre Dame football game. That sure ended up not going the way I wanted it to!!! I never like it when Notre Dame loses, but I especially detest losing to the Bearcats. UGH!!!
The evening was definitely the highlight of the weekend. Thomas attended a band competition, so it was just Andrew and me hosting my lifelong friend who currently lives in NYC. Although we had done some virtual cocktails, it had been two years since we were able to visit with him in person. We are so grateful for the few hours we were able to spend together.
This morning I was up and headed to my hometown to get my grandmother to a COVID test. She is scheduled for surgery this week that should alleviate some hip pain. I returned to town and went straight to church to work. I made sure I was home in time to watch the Steelers matchup against the Packers...which also is not going the way I would want it to go.
Another busy week is coming up, but I have no school on Friday! Nothing better than an extra long weekend in October!
