The Patterson Family

Weekend Wrap-up

The kids wanted to spend the night with my mom so Brett and I got a last minute date night. We bought a map of the islands we visited on our trip and wanted to get it framed so our first stop was Hobby Lobby. We also bought some beautiful pictures of the islands that we wanted to frame somehow. We decided to buy a big frame and put them all in together. Then we found a fun linen fabric that looks like sand to use as a mat around the pictures. I LOVE how it turned out! Now I just need to get some pictures made to finish out the wall.

We had dinner at P.F. Changs and talked about what we want to do for our 10 year anniversary in January. If you have any good ideas please pass them our way!

Saturday was a slow day. We had yard work we needed to get done and we are working on organizing our garage and getting rid of stuff.

My cousin and her husband just moved back to the states after serving as missionaries overseas. They have nothing so we are giving them our couch from our game room upstairs and our kitchen table, along with some other things like our coffee maker, an iron, and some other things that were given to us that we don't use. The couch and table belonged to our grandparents and were given to me when they passed away. We were in need of them at the time but I want to be able to pay it forward and let someone else in need have them now. Elizabeth and Josiah live by such faith and follow where they feel God is leading them. Their story is an inspiration to me and I am so glad we can bless them too.

Sunday we worked at the welcome desk at church and as we were leaving for lunch Lily came running over saying her shoe broke. Don't worry, Daddy came to the rescue with duct tape fashions! :)

Sunday afternoon we went to IKEA to look at couches for our game room and to get desk ideas for Lily's room. As we were leaving, we noticed there was a Frisco Roughriders game going on so we headed over for a baseball game!
