After 21 Years we finally got smart!!!

The weekend started out and ended wonderful!!! Friday was our 21st wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe that we have been married for 21 years now. WoW, time goes by so fast! Through the ups and downs of a marriage we are both very happy and wouldn't change it for the world. I LoVe YoU, MaRk ! XoxOXoxOXO
So this is what our weekend entailed (which started Thursday BTW)
Thursday ~ I had scheduled Thursday and Friday off to paint the kids/guest room but they were not primed yet. So, Wednesday night we met with a painter that would come in and prime/seal the drywall Thursday Morning. Excited I was that I could start painting. The kids and I finished picking out their room colors; Angie picked a golden cream color, Emme a very light purple color, MJ a sky blue color and I picked a silvery lavender color for the guest room.
Friday ~ Emily and I got up early and started painting her room. Angie and MJ showed up with Mark a little later. I thought I'd be nice and let them sleep in. I think we got alot done on Friday. We Painted 2 rooms and a bathroom and cleaned the piles of contractors garbage around the house. We did need to go back and do touch-ups but not much.
Since this was our anniversary we decided to go to the casino. Was alot of fun. we always go there knowing we are going to lose but we came home breaking even. That was a fun trip. Mark put in $5 on a $1 slot machine and won over a hundred dollars. I put a $5 on a dollar slot machine and won $75. Of course we played it down a little and cashed out. But it payed for gas, food and fun for a few hours. We had a few hours to spare so we went to the casino up the road. I hit a royal flush and won another $100. If I had not been so cheap I could have won abour $1200. Oh well, all in fun.
Saturday ~ Mark has been looking to get the kids dirt bikes for a while and stumbled accross one on craigslist. So, Saturday morning Mark, Emme and I got up early and went to take a look at it. It was in really good condition and just needs a few repairs so Mark bought it. Emme couldn't keep a straight face for hours. MJ was just a little excited, he'd rather have a 4-wheeler but he's still happy. Mark of course is extremely excited and quickly goes to the Honda shop to buy the parts he needs, a few spokes, oil, new tires and a fender. While at the Honda store we looked at a street bike that I would approve of Mark getting, but only when his dirt bike is paid off and we get in really great shape so we look hot!!
So we played the anniversary card as an all weekend anniversary and went back to the casino up the road. For $10 you can play in the tournament they have each night. We decided to play and the game was Spanish 21. A little different than regular 21 because of the way you can bet. So out of 18 players I took second and won $75. YEAH!! We learned a couple new games and still stayed ahead so it was fun. It will be a while before we go back again, for us it's like going to dinner and a movie.
Sunday ~ Mark dropped me off at the house so I could start painting the closets and do touch-ups. The Painter forgot to prime the closets and it took me about 2 hours to paint Emmes closets. Mark and the kids picked me up to get some lunch and then off to Home depot and we picked up the paint for the final 2 rooms to paint and after 21 years of marriage we finally got smart and bought a paint sprayer! It took no time at all and Mark had painted both rooms, the closets and the last bathroom. It would have taken us all week and I am convinced that it is one of the best investments we have ever made. We only have the master bathroom accent to paint, YEAH!!!
So that was our fun weekend. As soon as I have pic's of the house I'll post them.
