Mother's Day Weekend

We had a great weekend this past weekend! On Friday night we got to go see a play at The Four County Players in Barboursville, VA! The play was called "Lend Me A Tenor". A friend of mine from work does a lot of acting for them ~ he is so great ~ we had a blast! If anyone is looking for an inexpensive date night or just a fun thing to do on a Friday night, you should definitely check out the Four County Players, because all of their Friday evening shows are only $5 a piece ~ and trust us, it is worth every penny!

Then on Saturday we got to take a trip down to Shawsville, VA (about 2 hours South of Charlottesville) to visit Micah's grandparents. They are always so hospitable. They took us out to dinner at Cracker Barrel and we got to ride in their Cadillac ~ we felt like we were living the "high life". It was fun! Plus it is always good to get a chance to talk to Grandpa and listen to all of the amazing journeys he has been on during his lifetime ~ and their have been many!

On Sunday was Mother's Day and it couldn't have been a nicer day! We were able to talk to Micah's Mom in the morning before church and then after church we were able to head to my parents house for a yummy dinner and some great company! And an added treat, my grandma and one of my aunt's and a cousin showed up too! We had a lot of fun reminiscing, talking, laughing and of course eating some yummy food!

We are so grateful to have such wonderful Mothers and Grandmothers and to be able to communicate with them on a regular basis. Heavenly Father has really blessed us with a loving and supportive family, and we are so thankful for each one of them! This is definitely a Mother's Day to remember and one that will go down in Gray Family History!

Now here are some fun pictures from our weekend journeys.........................

My Handsome Husband & New Vinyl Flooring In our Bathroom!

We have been talking about putting new vinyl down in our bathroom since we moved into our house (1 1/2 years ago), and we FINALLY did it!
Micah took the day off from work this past Thursday and set out on probably his biggest house project ever! Thanks to "Home Improvement 1-2-3", a book that we got from one of my uncles a few years ago, and a very dedicated husband, our dreams of a new bathroom floor became a reality this past weekend!
Micah did an amazing job, and I am so proud of all of the hours and sweat and love that he put into this project. We were both so excited to have our new floor completed on Thursday that we both just wanted to walk bare-foot on it! New vinyl feels so nice on your toes:)
I bought some artificial flowers from Micheal's on Friday and I hope to make a new arrangement soon, to add that extra sparkle, and then it will be totally complete! I am so grateful for a husband who is willing to take on projects like this, so that we can save our money for more important things in the future, like adopting children!
