Weekend Recap! On time for once! :)

Happpppy Sunday, friends! Guess what I just did.. Go on.. guess.. Nope. Wrong. What I did: Just bought a swimsuit, swimcap and goggles online! YAY! That makes it official; I'll be swimming again soon at the new gym... (Reason I join gyms: Spending money motivates me to go. If you run outside or something, I give you major props for the self-motivation that I don't have...haha). :)

On to the weekend!

Friday night, I was so.tired. from getting up and watching the royal wedding at 4am (Oh yeah, I did). So I crashed out early. :) 

Saturday morning, woke up bright and early to help with Rebuilding Together's national build day! Eric's really involved with the the Rebuilding Together Tulsa group and organized the entire thing for our company. It was our company's FIRST year to sponsor a house-thanks to Eric! Gotta admit, I'm pretty proud of him... He handled the media and photags that showed up, supplies, tents, food, organization, etc. It was definitely no small undertaking. But thanks to him, a nice elderly woman's house has a fresh coat of paint, energy efficient updates, and is getting new windows, etc soon. :) We just did the paint on Saturday morning. The house used to be a VIVID shade of pink. All over. Like cotton candy pink. Whoa.

 Yelling at Eric to look at me for a photo was prolly not the smartest thing, given how high he was, buuuut I didn't think about that at the time. And he's safe on the ground now so all's well. haha.. :)

 Really impressed by my boyfriend... Just saying...

Saturday night, headed to one of his friend's weddings out at Five Oaks Lodge in Jenks (Tulsa suburb). :) Really pretty... and some of us girlies really liked the rocking chairs... Just saying...

 Weddings with candy=good. Weddings with candy set up along the line for drinks=better. :)

 The photobooth was a hilarious hot mess. Fairly sure we had no idea what we were doing in most of these photos...buuuut whatever... :)

**********
And b/c I never did a weekend recap last weekend, a few shots... We had lunch at Eric's parents casa.... So fun! They hid Easter baskets stuffed with candy treats for us. (Please see Eric being silly...haha)

Had great food, great company, and a great Easter with his family. :)

After lunch, I headed to see Water for Elephants with my mom. I hadn't read the book, but wanted to see the movie... Good stuff, friends. I didn't really believe the Robert + Reese feelings for each other... but whatever. I could still get in to the story. Knowing the story was about the circus and a jerky ringmaster/circus owner, I figured we might have to deal with some less-than-pleasant animal scenes. One scene really got me. If there had been another one like that one, I would have left the movie. I'm really glad I stayed b/c the movie ended up being really great. 

But seriously, I can't watch ANYTHING that harms animals. It makes me want to cry and vomit at the same time... It's a little ridiculous to be honest. The movie I am Legend? Nope. Haven't seen it b/c I heard the dog dies and it's sad. I had issues even watching Where the Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller as a child. I'm not joking....haha...It's like this Friends ep where Phoebe watches Old Yeller. Remember it? Sheer comedy! :) "What kind of a sick doggie snuff film is this?!" hahahaha... (I know I've said this, but I'm fairly convinced I can compare almost anything to a Friends ep.)

Okay, enough rambling about how I like animals more than I like most people... Moving on...

Also saw....

...and...

The Kings Speech absolutely blew me away. Colin Firth was amazing! Source Code was better than I expected, but still not as good as Inception (many of the reviews claimed).

So that was this weekend...and a little of last! :) Hope you had a good weekend, friends! :)

And HAPPY MAY DAY!!!!
