Weekend Fun, Three Day Weekend Style!

[theatrepal]

It's a long weekend! What's everybody up to?

We are headed north to backpack in a state park this evening. Sunday night, we've got a wedding to go to. The problem MIL will be at the wedding. We've decided we will just leave if things go sideways as to not cause a scene. Family dynamics really aren't fun.

I'm not really sure what we're going to do this weekend. It all hinges on if we buy the car we're looking at tonight or not. If we do then we may end up going to see our town's firework display on Saturday. And then Sunday we're meeting with a friend to see Terminator Genisys, which I'm super excited about.

Backpacking sounds so fun! We are close to Amicalola State Park and we've been thinking about doing something similar there soon. And, I hope everything goes smoothly at the wedding!

I get off at 1 today! I'll do some errands before I pick up DD.

Tomorrow DH and I are rearranging our living room in the morning. He leaves for an event in the afternoon. DD and I are heading to a friend's house for a party and fireworks. She lives 2 doors down from the town fireworks display.

Saturday is our town parade, we may go. No solid plans

Sunday we're taking DD to see Inside Out. I took Monday off, not sure what I'm doing yet

We don't have any big plans. My brother and SIL are coming over to hang out and have dinner on Saturday. I'm sure we'll be playing lawn games in the backyard and drinking lots of wine. (I might make sangria, too.)

We're leaving for vacation on the 11th, so I'm going to start packing and getting everything together this weekend.

browneyes8, Fingers crossed the phone magically rings before the end of the day!

Tasha, We love backpacking in our state parks. They are generally shorter hikes with well kept trails. We can chose our own adventure when it comes to length. We will camp at two different lakes this weekend. We plan on hiking early and swimming/napping the afternoons away.

Thanks, not likely given our home state requesting more documents!   We'd be thrilled if it was sometime next week.

UPDATE: wow, you were right! We just got the word that we are approved and can head home!

My mom is here with a flight current leaving Tuesday and is going to try to change it. We have a bunch to do to pack up and close out our apartment here so we are thinking we'll likely leave on Sunday, taking 3-4 days to travel the 1600 miles. YAY!

We are driving 5-6 hours to visit BIL/SIL/GPILs for the weekend.  We'll leave in the morning and come back after church/lunch on Sunday.  It's been since Easter that we saw all that family, so it should be nice!  We may go to the 4th of July parade, but we haven't decided yet.  We will be cooking out and possibly doing some fireworks on the 4th.  Then Monday is B's birthday!!

I'm so happy for you . Safe travels home!

We are getting together with some friends tomorrow, then hopefully seeing my parents Saturday and hopefully beach Sunday. We try to not over schedule with 2 such little kids but I think the days are manageable and allow for them to nap

Just got off of work BUT I dont work until Wednesday night now! Wednesday is our final home visit, which we are excited about, but we have no plans...
