Crazy Busy Weekend Review

Thank you all so much for your sweet comments on my last post. Your prayers and encouragement mean so much! The Lord has been so good to give me such great friends.

So, on to our weekend recap! On Friday, my sister and I went to a rummage sale. I could not believe how much stuff there was piled all over the place! Or how many people were there, it was crazy! Here is what I got:

A doll cradle (that needs to be sanded and painted), brand new game of Taboo, I Spy preschool game, 4 books and a free loaf of bread! I paid $4.50 for all this stuff! Amazing, huh? Myra posted her awesome deals here, so go check it out. Funny thing is that we both spent $4.50...we hadn't added it up or anything. Guess it's just a sister thing! ha.

On Saturday, Jacob had an orchestra rehearsal with the symphony he plays with in the morning. Then one of the youth orchestras he conducts played at a Christmas fund raiser. And then he had a wedding to play for. The wedding was outside at a beautiful old house.

This sign was at the end of the driveway leading up to the wedding. Isn't it so cute?! I thought it was a neat idea to use an old beat up door since it was kind of a rustic wedding.

I sat in the car during the wedding since it was just a "job" for Jacob, we didn't know the people getting married. It was a beautiful evening and I got a lot of knitting done. Oh, I forgot to mention that all the wedding guests parked in a big cow pasture!

After the wedding we ate a yummy supper at Ruby Tuesday and killed a little time walking around the mall before we headed to the concert hall for the symphony concert. It was a super long, but fun day!

Sunday was another busy day. We had church in the morning, then Jacob's youth orchestra had a Veteran's day concert in the afternoon. The highlight of the afternoon for me was when all six levels (from beginning to advanced) of the orchestra were combined to play The Star Spangled Banner! It was amazing! And, Jacob got the privilege of conducting it!

I know it's kind of shaky. I need some videotaping practice! ha.

Ya'll have a great Tuesday! It's raining here today and I'm busy making cookies for the youth orchestra after-concert party tonight.
