It’s been a very busy weekend for us! On Friday RS went to the house with his parents and fixed up the yard. It was very overgrown with weeds and poison ivy. Vines in the trees and bushes out front, etc. it looks much better now! Like a real house! RS and his dad mowed the lawn and weed whacked the weeds from the front yard. It seems that there was a little garden along the side of the house; we are going to get that stakes out and plant some hostas and other little plants. Maybe some veggies but I don’t really like veggies so maybe not. I wouldn’t want them going to waste. The property manager is going to get us a dryer even though it has to be very small to fit down the basement steps. Whatever, I’ll just be happy to have a washer and dryer.

Saturday we went out In search of sunglasses and a hat for me and sand toys for my son. I found sunglasses that would fit over my glasses but no hat. And we found a great bucket of toys for my son. We also got him yet another ball. An oversized soft beach volleyball. And we got some fold up camping chairs. We also went to the discount store and found a welcome mat and some towels for the house. Then we went to the house and got our living room furniture delivered. The recliner is so comfortable! We made a good choice. RS’s parents found a TV on clearance and bought it for us even though I told them several times we didn’t need a TV lol. Now we have two. We will put one in our room. We are planning on moving totally in when I am finished my master’s classes on July 1st. We will probably move in the following weekend.

Sunday we went to a barbecue with RS’s cousins. It was ok but I didn’t know anyone except RS and his parents so I kind of kept to myself. Food was great though.

Today we went to the beach. The water was freezing so I only dipped my toes in and spent the rest of the time napping in the sand. It was so relaxing. Only problem is despite applying sunscreen liberally I got absolutely roasted. My legs and arms are totally red and stinging. I applied after sun lotion with aloe and menthol to hopefully kill the pain but I had to take Advil as well since it hurt so bad. Oh well. We stopped at a barbecue place on the way home. It was really good!

I spent way too much money this weekend but it was worth it. I’ll be more careful with my next paycheck. Gotta start saving that rent money!

All In all it was a fantastic weekend. I even managed to get my assignments done for my classes. I hope I did well on them. I’m afraid I didn’t. Oh well as long as I get an 80 in the class I don’t have to repeat it. I’ve done well so far. I have a 95 I.n one and an 85 in the other. Next weekend we are planning to go to the mountains near me and go on a hike. I think my son will enjoy looking at nature. There is a stream that runs down the mountain that he can get his feet wet in if he wants and we can look at turtles and frogs and fish. Should be a good time.

Sorry for the extra long update!
