Weekend Wrap-Up ~ April 12, 2021

 Happy Monday friends! 

Today, I am starting my week getting vaccinated.  I was scheduled to go last Friday, but for a few reasons, I delayed it until today.  It seems like another busy week ahead, but hoping it is a good one.

Once again, I am thankful to say we had a really good weekend.  Friday night, I cooked dinner and we watched the most recent episode of "Rock the Block" from HGTV.  It was low key, but good.  

Saturday, we dropped off our daughter at an event and we drove to Birmingham.  First stop for us was Buc-ess!  We went to our first Buc-ees in Texas in early 2020.  I was so excited to hear there was a new one, just a short 3 1/2 hours away :).  This location outside of Birmingham just opened in January, so it was still pretty crowded and it was a Saturday when we visited.  As crazy as it seemed when we walked inside, it was pretty efficient with lines.  It was just crowded!  This is a gas station (120 pumps!), but is also a gift store and has unique snacks and hot food, like Texas brisket.  The first time I went to Buc-ees last year, I actually bought a wedding gift there.  This time, I just bought some good 'ol brisket to eat, some snacks to share, and some souvenirs. 

The main reason for the trip was to see Nate Bargazte perform.  He is a comedian who has two Netflix specials and has been on a lot of the late night talk shows, like Jimmy Fallon and Conan O'Brien.  He is a comedian you can watch with your family.  Let me just say, I laughed until I cried.  He was so funny and we had front seats for the show.  



We were back home at lunchtime Sunday to eat as a family, relax and then we went to our small groups with church. 

Enjoy your day and week ahead!

Linking up with Tanya today!
