A Week in Review...

I never knew being unemployed (outside my home) would be so busy! We had a super busy week here at the Bindert household.

Saturday, Dana and I met my good friend Tresa and her husband Mike at Texas Roadhouse for supper. I called ahead and we actually got to sit down as soon as we walked in the door! We were super excited because we were prepared for a hour wait! Tresa was my boss at Sioux Falls Ford but now I can just call her my friend. Although I will probably still call her my boss! LOL! Tresa and I weren't friends at first, but I really grew to respect her and a friendship followed. It's a friendship I hope to keep after we move. I've learned a lot from her and have a lot of fun with her. After supper we met some other friends at The Gateway for drinks, it was a lot of fun!

On Sunday we were rather lazy and hung out at home. My sister Daina and her family was here visiting. Daina stayed here to help me get everything ready for the rummage. We were busy all week!! We worked on pricing, organizing and sorting. Rummage sales are a lot of work! In the future I'll be more organized when I put things into storage! The rummage was Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Well I was only really open on Thursday, Friday we had a crazy Spring storm here in Eastern SD. Dana got stranded at the (Summit exit) Coffee Cup truck stop. He was finally able to get back to Watertown this morning at about 11 or so. So he took a nap at a friends house and is on his way home now! I'm excited to see him!

The best part of the week was on the 24th, my sweet baby girl turned 1 year old!!

To my beautiful little girl:
We didn't know that you were coming, but we are so excited that God is a better planner then we are! You are such a little blessing to us and to your big brother. Carson is just smitten with you, he loves to play with you and protect you from things that you cant have. You are equally in love with him too! Your eyes light up when he is around and you smile from ear to ear! You are so in love with your daddy, when he gets home on the weekend you crawl to him as fast as you can, and he picks you up and you love on each other. It is so fun to watch! Your daddy and I love you so much! You have the sweetest little voice! You talk a lot but never really say anything, well anything we can understand but you know just what you are talking about! I love you baby girl! I love when you keep me company in the kitchen while I cook or clean up. I love the way you grab on to the back of my pants to pull yourself up, or when you play with the letters on the fridge and dance to the ABC's. You have such a sweet little personality. I am very grateful to be able to stay at home with you and know everything about you. To know how your day was without asking someone else. To teach you everything that a little girl needs to know. I will treasure our time together. But, if you could not grow up so fast I would really like that!
Love your mommy!

Now that brings us to today....I should be cleaning but I wanted to get caught up on every body's blogs and make a quick post! We are planning on a relaxing weekend! Then come Monday I will start packing up the house! Ive decided that I'm not taking anything that I don't need and I'm making a place for everything! I have a problem with putting things away where I wont forget them but I always manage to do just that! So I will do a lot of organizing, throwing away and packing next week! Talk to you all soon!
