Birthday Party Wrap Up

Wesley’s birthday was a success.  I managed to get home with balloons and a birthday banner, and get them set up & the house decorated before he got in from work that afternoon.  The look on his face was priceless and totally melted my heart!  I told him I’d fix whatever he wanted for his birthday supper, and he wanted a good, down home, southern fried meal (my kind of guy!).  I made him chicken fried steak, fried okra, French fries (yes, we like fried food every now & then) and pecan pie for dessert.  His parents came over to help us celebrate that evening so we all enjoyed the southern inspired food together!  He got lots of goodies for his birthday.  I got him 4 new shirts and 2 new pairs of bell boots for his horse.  My Mom & Dad got him a nice pair of splint boots for his horse, and his parents gave him some moo-lah!  We all had a fun evening together and can’t wait to spend all our birthdays together!

Saturday I spent the morning cooking dinner for everyone that was out at the ranch helping us wean our baby calves.  I made pork loin, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, a salad, and cake for dessert.  After dinner Wesley and I headed in to Miles City to pick up some groceries & purchase a new gun for the upcoming hunting season.  We didn’t spend too long in Miles City because we both were pretty tired, but we got done what needed to get done.

Of course Sunday was spent sighting in the new toy & testing it out.  We spent the majority of Sunday outside on the ranch with each other.  We both agree that we have the best time just the two of us together out in the middle of nowhere.  It was so much fun!  Sunday afternoon we went to the ranch & fed & watered the baby calves we just weaned as well as the baby horses in the corrals (we have 4 baby horses in the corral; all are about 4 months old and just adorable!).  Then we came in the house & watched some good ole Sunday night football. 

I’ve decided that Monday’s come WAY too quickly and we should boycott the day of Monday.  Anyone else on board?  Our weekends seem to go by so fast these days.  Its already the middle of September (well, almost)!  Where does the time go?  Our wedding up here will be in less than 2 months!  YIKES!!!  I need to get on the ball!  (Well, those of you who really know me know that I have mad organizational skills & have everything almost tied up for the wedding.  However, there are a few loose ends that I need to take care of)!

Have a fantastic week!
