Yard Sales - you either love or you hate them

So this weekend mom (aka mother-in-law) and I had a yard sale. 

Wait a minute...here is where I go on another tangent.  This woman I am referring to has to be the most wonderful lady in the entire world.  I grew up without a mother so until I was married I never understood the meaning of having a mother.  And now I'm married to a man whose mother is everything I could ever have asked for and I am blessed beyond measure to be able to call her mom.  I'm really not sure that I deserve her love and kindness because I know I'm a handful and with Tye and I together we can sometimes drive people crazy.  But she endures us and loves me and I am so grateful and thankful that the Lord gave her to me.  I love her unconditionally and I wouldn't give her up for anything.  I know people say their mother-in-law can be rough but I can honestly say this woman is my best friend and I would do anything for her and I love her with my whole heart.

Okay back to the yard sale.  If you ever had a yard sale you know that it takes a lot of work.  Cleaning out nooks and crannies and sorting through all your stuff and getting it organized and setting up early in the morning.  Well that's what we did Friday and Saturday...Friday was getting everything sorted through and Saturday was the big day.  One thing I enjoy is talking with people and all the funny things people say and do.  We met some neighbors and had some friends stop by as well.  Neylee was anxious to come outside and be with us so we let her hang out and she did so well and sat in her little chair as people milled around.

We ended up closing up shop around 4-ish and took all the leftovers to the Goodwill.  All in all we did pretty well considering all of it was "junk" stuff basically.  It was worth all the trouble but I'm glad it's over with finally.

So that was my weekend basically...church yesterday morning and we started our Revival.  Afterwards, we took Tye out to J-Alexander's to celebrate him passing his test.

CONGRATULATIONS TYE (aka husband) for passing your test!  I love you and I'm so proud of you!!!!

I tried to study some but the "nap-monster" took me and I slept for an hour instead.  Then Tye and I being slackers went to see a movie.  We had a great time spending time together.

Weekends go by so fast it seems and now it's Monday.
