Fun, Fun, Fun

I made it into the cities around noon on Saturday to meet up with April, Amy, and Trisha for a day of shopping and laughing! We spent the whole afternoon walking through the Mall of America. I ended up finding some good deals, and continued to justify my clothes purchases by claiming to not have got any new work clothes this year. 😉

We headed to the Olive Garden for dinner, and the food was good but the conversation better. “What if his name was Richard?”

It doesn’t surprise me that I slept really hard after such a full day. This morning, though, we were all raring to go! We headed to IKEA – my very first shopping experience at the store. I’d been warned by several people that I’d leave the store with a bunch of stuff I didn’t intend to buy; that’s precisely what happened. I got a beautiful new duvet (I basically stole it out of April’s hands… oops!), and a couple of pictures and frames to match for our bedroom. I also got a couple of storage / organizer type things that I’ll have to play with. I think our bank account would agree that it’s a good idea to not get to close to that place again any time soon!

We swung by Chipotle (mmmm!) before we all headed our separate directions. The time was short and full! I can’t wait to do it again!
