Great weekend with an exception.....

...Tennessee lost. Wasn't really expecting them to win but was at least expecting them to actually come out and PLAY THE STINKIN GAME!! And they didn't!! But oh well, my weekend was spectacular besides that!! I took Friday off so I could clean the house because Nate's family was coming in town and this was their 1st time coming to Montgomery since we have been dating so I was a bit nervous. And I was only nervous because this time they are coming into my territory so to speak, I mean don't get me wrong Nate lives here too but its really all my people and family that they would be meeting. So needless to say the cleaning literally took all day to finish! Nate came over that morning and he started cleaning as well! He was such a big help!! He cleaned the bathroom and swiffered all the floors and mopped them all!! It was a GREAT help!! While he was cleaning, I was in the kitchen and living room picking up and dusting and wiping counters and everything else that has needed to be done everytime we clean but I just get too lazy and just make it decent! But now it has been done finally!!! =) YAY!! So I finished cleaning my room, the living room, and the guest bedroom at about 6 and jumped in the shower! They were going to be arriving at about 7:45 so I decided I had best start to get ready!! So I did and when I got out of the shower I heard someone in my house. I thought it was Nate bc he was going to be coming over to bring my keys that he had taken with him but to my surprise it wasn't! It was Ashley (my new roommate) and her daddy and his friend all standing in my living room!! I was so embarrassed bc I walked out in my robe like an idiot!!! And that was the 1st time I had met him!!! =) But after that I started getting ready and Nate showed up about 30 minutes later!! So they got here and we met and ate at Jim-N-Nicks for dinner!! And it was sooo good!! Then it was off to show the houses!! We stoped at Nate's 1st, and well it was somewhat cleaned but boy it didnt smell so hot...you can definitely tell 4 boys live there!! Then it was too my house...and thank goodness I had bought some good air freshners because that was the 1st thing they commented on! :) But we stayed at my house for about 2 hrs and watched TV and talked. They got to meet Laurie when she was about to go to work so one sister was down, now just a sister and brother in law! =) We got up and met at IHOP for breakfast the next morning and headed down to the game. (Its important to know that at every event I had to look somewhat decent because Mrs. Jacki is a scrapbooker!! She loves it and is sooo AMAZING at it!! So at every opportunity she takes pictures! =) Which I love bc I dont take them as often as I should!!) The game was good, we didn't lose as bad but the sun was killer!! They all were super burnt and I felt so bad!!! There they got to visit and meet Louise and Dirt! It went over really really good!! =) But while at the game I got to go upstairs and see Laurie doing her thing and while I was up there I got to be interviewed!! =) It was my first time on the radio and I was super nervous!!! =) But it was fun!! After the football game we came back to my house and ordered pizza and watched the UT game. And watching it with GA fans was better than watching it with FL fans...but they still made their comments but overall they were really good! And I was pretty proud bc we all know how Laurie is about UT football...and well I just wanted everything to be good and neither one of us show our butt! And we didnt and it was fun!! =) That night we went out to eastchase and walked around all the stores and ate some ice cream and took pictures! Then we went to their hotel room and watched the GA game and the LSU/AU games. I say we...Mrs. Jacki and I talked the whole time and then she gave me a present she had bought for me!! IT WAS AN ONLINE SCRAPBOOKING PROGRAM!! I was soooooo excited!!! She is always so thoughtful about buying stuff that she thinks will help me do anything and everything!!! She is amazing and I really am so blessed to have her in my life!! Sunday morning we got up and met them for breakfast and then went to early service and class. It was really fun to watch them interact in my world and how everything worked out! After church we went to Walmart and shopped for groceries for Nate and I! Then we ate at Applebees! It was good and then it was time for goodbyes... =( The time always flies by so fast when they are in town or when we are there! But its good because we will be there in 2 weeks to see them and momma and daddy! Adairsville High School plays Dade County High that friday night so Nate and I are going to leave Thursday night or Friday morning and go to his house and watch his sister play in the band friday night and meet up with mom and dad at the game!! =) We are super excited!! We also are going to go to the pumpkin patch and do some fun fall-ie things that weekend!! I am so excited!! But get off that litlle tangent and finish my weekend, we closed it out by Nate and I going to Panama City, FL to do a church visit at Jenks Ave. Church of Christ. It was a really good church visit and I had some good contacts and Nate helped with the drving so I could sleep a little bit!! So it was GREAT!! He really loves me...he does! =) (Because he had to work this monring at 8 and doesn't have the luxury I have with being able to call in after a long night of traveling =))But that is my weekend in a nutshell, I know it was a big nutshell, but nutshell regardless! =) And Mrs. Jacki has just started a blog so if you would like to know about Nate's family that is a great way to find out!! =)

2 Things:

1.) I am exausted from reading about your weekend and
2.) I almost had to get up and walk out of class on Sunday when EV was trying to give you a hard time and you threatened to walk out! I was laughing so hard (to myself of course).
