This weekend my in-laws stayed the night with us Friday night. Jeremy and his Dad walked up to the GCMS football game. It was homecoming and GCMS won pretty easily. Jan and I stayed in since it was so cold and wet out. I baked some cinnamon bread and scones for our breakfast the next morning. Lucie and Dee were so happy to see their Grandma and Grandpa.
John and Jan have season tickets to Illinois games as well so we went to the game yesterday. Sad game but still fun to go and hang out with friends.
Last night we had a wedding reception to attend. The wedding and reception was for Jackie Williams and Paul Douglas. Jackie's Dad Preston is the Superintendent of Urbana schools where Jeremy worked for 11 years. Jeremy taught Jackie's brother Preston Jr. who plays football for Northern IL. Jeremy also hired Paul to be the 8th Grade Basketball coach at Urbana Middle School last year. We were excited to be invited to their wedding. We witnessed their engagement this past spring. Paul totally surprised Jackie and proposes to her at the end of the season basketball banquet. He did it in front of all the kids and their parents, Jackie's parents, friends and family. So fun! So since he proposes in front of all the kids, he invited them all to their wedding as well. I am sure it made the kids feel speical to be invited to their coach's wedding! How fun!
On the way home from the reception, Jeremy and I decided to crash the GCMS homecoming dance! We stopped in for a moment to listen to "There's a Party in the USA!" and "Boom Boom Pow!"

Paul & Jackie with the basketball players. Too cute! The picture is blurry darn!
Their monogram on the wall was really cool!
On a sad note, Jeremy and I got an offer on our house this weekend! I know you are thinking sad, why sad? Well because the people that put in the offer were basically trying to steal it from us. It was a very low ball offer just to see what kind of response we would give. The offer was very insulting to us and Jeremy made it a point to tell our realtor that. It is not our realtor's fault by any means he is just presenting to us what he is asked. I feel really bad for our realtor as he has shown the guy about 20 houses and now he will probably rent since we did not take his low ball offer! Waste of everyone's time.
So we are ready for something good to happen around the Darnell household. We have been waiting for our house to sell and waiting for a child for sometime now and it is about time something good takes place. The good thing that has happened to us is that we moved to a nice community and have a beautiful house that we both love to death!
So today consists of being lazy, possibly making some chili or soup and snuggling with my doggies. Jeremy just went to mow at our house in Urbana and took the dogs out to a ditch where Lucie pointed a pheasant. He called me and said she was soooo excited and pointed it within the first 5 minutes! She's a princess!
Have a great weekend and stay tuned for pics from Covered Bridge.
