Celebrating Mom & Holiday Weekend Recap

I know I am 2 weeks behind, but I wanted my mom to know how much she means to me! My parents left this past Thursday to go to Europe. They will be gone until late June. I miss her already! My mom sees the best in me and forgets the rest! This photo was taken on our mother/daughter day out at California Pizza Kitchen and manicure/pedicures at Remedez spa.

Memorial Day weekend: Mostly stayed busy around the house. We braved the IKEA crowds on Friday evening. We spent about three hours there with a stop in the restaurant and ate Swedish meatballs - pretty good.

The store has only been opened a few days, but they were out of one piece to the craft desk I purchased. It looks like one more week before they get it in. We bought two bookshelves for the office/craft room. We assembled those and rearranged the room as best we could without the desk. I am loving it already! We also cleaned the grill, cleaned the patio furniture and spent a lot of time working on other house projects. All in all, Trav and I both agreed it was a pretty good holiday weekend. If only the Jazz can hang on tonight...
