This weekend we were able to relax a lot, which was nice for a change. We both had Friday off, so we did some house cleaning and then just watched some tv!

On Saturday we made a trip to Costco because we needed two things, and we left $402 later. On the plus side, we don't have to buy groceries (other than fruits and veggies) for a long time! We also decided to clean out our closet, and put together a large box of clothes for donation. I'm so glad Scott is finally purging some of his stuff! He honestly still wears t-shirts from when he was 14. He still wears pants from the 90's, and you know, pants that were COOL for teenagers in the 90's and are NOT COOL now lol! I still wonder how they even fit, becuase he's 6'4. Must have gotten his growth spurts early in life!!!

Sunday I started putting together a slideshow on our trip to Africa. I'm presenting a lunch and learn on Wednesday for my office. It's so hard to choose only a portion of the pictures! We spent most of Sunday evening in front of the tv. I just felt like doing nothing.

Our laundry room is on hold for now while we wait for our friend (a plumber) to come over to rough-in our pipes. Then we need my brother to check Scott's electrical work and say it's okay, and we can start putting up the drywall. So in the meantime, Scott has been working on our basement. It was partially finished (a few unfinished walls put up) but we have decided to completely change the design, making a smaller bedroom and a much larger living space. Scott spent the weekend taking down some of the walls and it makes the space look so much bigger already!

Oh and Scott starts a new job in 2 weeks. He was contacted by a headhunter a few months ago, and decided to try for an interview with this company. They liked him, and sent him an offer a couple of weeks ago. The salary they offered was substatially more than he or I make now, so it was hard to turn down. It also will cut about 45 minutes off our daily commute. I'm excited for him to start, and I really hope he likes it there!
