To.. SUMMER!!

Aw, summer really came and went huh? Its kind of sad that its not September and crazy how fast June-Aug went. Seriously, wow. I had a great summer though and I love fall weather so Im ready for it!! This past weekend was perfect. I loved the weather even though it was probably a little more on the chilly side then I prefer but still nice for cuddling under blankets with the windows open. I love that! :)

We didnt really do much last weekend which was awesome. On Friday Dan and I worked an event for our part time job. It was for a mans 80th bday party. This old couple had a ridiculous house in Champaign. Im a fan of houses that dont look like everyone elses. Yeah you can go to that crazy ridiculous neighborhood off of Staley (forgot the name at the moment) and you will find million dollar homes easily. My boss lives there actually lol. But they all have the same feel, and thats not an original feeling. This house that we worked at on Friday was crazy! First off from the outside, it didnt even look like a house, it looked like a place where you would go to work but really nice. My first instinct was that all the rich neighbors invested in this building and they just have parties there lol.. this was obviously before I went in there.
When we walked in it was clear that these people lived here. It was a nice house, it had a downstairs and an upstairs but you couldnt tell that from outside. In one part of their living room they had a place cut out in the floor that had railings around it. When you looked over the railing there was a mini waterfall with rocks and stuff (like a hotel) and then a huge tree growing out of it with lights on it. It was HUGE. I never found out if it was real or not. My coworker thought it wasnt because what would you do with the roots? That could possibly mess up your foundation, so probably fake. Anyways it was still cool. They had mulitiple sky lights and a huge patio, lots of giant windows. It was a fun party to work. The company we work for always has cute ideas. For this party there was a slider station with lots of options and a mac n cheese stations with all the fixings .. crab, lobster, bacon, cheese, sausage, etc. (There was so much stuff I cant remember! lol) We were incredibly tired after it, I think we got home around 10 so we put in a good 6 hours that day.

On Saturday Dan and I hung out on the couch, I read and he studied. We took the dogs to run and play frisbee while he golfed and then after dinner we volunteered at church. There was an international fair this weekend celebrating all the countries so we helped scoop food. I was glad that we were able to help!

Dan and my dad went golfing on Sunday and I went to church and grocery shopping. By the time I got home Dan was in bed studying and I joined him. I was able to finish my book that day.... success! :) It was the perfect day to spend lots of time together. I made biscuits and gravy and then sliders and mac n cheese for dinner. (wonder where I got that idea? :)
