A WEEKEND IN JUNE

I didn't get around to doing my Pinterest weekend project. I wanted to make a fire pit but Mike talked me out of it... logical reasonsoning of course....


We rent and our land lord would definitely not appreciate a fire spot in our yard.
We can't make it on the concrete because I guess concrete gets hot and will crack (yeah, for some reason I did not know this!).
He said we could buy one, but I wanted to 'make' it.... so that idea failed.


No big deal, I had a good weekend nonetheless.


I worked on Saturday and went to St. Louis shortly after for our monthly seminar. The speakers were Bill and Jackie Lewis. Pretty big names in our business and an equal performance was given. The largest nugget I took away from the event was:


A non-dreamer will never understand a dreamer.


I needed to hear that. I needed some justification about why those who don't understand why I want better in my life are that way.


I can't expect them to know any better then the quiet destitution they have given their lives.
To each their own.


We stayed over night at my grandparents house and went to my cousin's baptism the following day. 


Family is always good to see :) 

I'll end with some pictures I took over the weekend...



This is the hilarious picture that Shawn took of himself while at church



While on our drive back home we stopped at a gas station and I had the honors of looking at this sign... and I though, "I wonder if the original sticker poster will ever think that some one (me) appreciates this"



Shoes I got from Wal-Mart (not even a SUPER Wal-Mart) for $3.00  -SCORE-



Also got these for a good price at said small Wal-Mart for $6

 

And this is what we made this morning with our 15 random oranges in the fridge!  It better be delicious because I attempted to put the pulp down the garbage disposal and I believe I may have broken something in the process.  It was an amazing start to my Monday morning :-)
