This was a productive weekend for us. On Saturday, we went to Lowe's to rent a flatbed pickup truck for 75 minutes for $19.99 (which is a fantastic deal). We then went to the apartment of one of Brian's former co-workers (who is picking up and moving to California on Monday) to get a TV and a queen size bed. We got the bed and TV back home and the truck back to Lowe's in 75 minutes (not a bad feat to go from Knightdale to Ebenezer Church Road in Raleigh and back to Knightdale and load/unload the bed).
Afterward, we hit up Bed, Bath, & Beyond to get some bedding for the new bed. We found a really cute striped pattern with browns and blues AND we found two nightstands that were on clearance, which is so super perfect because we were looking for some for our bedroom.
On Sunday, we made our debuts as Eucharistic Ministers (the people who distribute the bread and wine during communion) at church and that went really well. No dropped wafers or wine!
Afterward, we had a near crisis at the house as we borrowed Brian's parents lawnmower. The crisis being...
... we couldn't start the lawnmower.
After trying and failing for about 45 minutes, two calls to Brian's dad, and one call to my dad, Brian's dad graciously trekked over to our house, on foot up a hill both ways in the snow, and helped us get it figured out. We're still not sure what he did, but we're glad he did it :-) So, Brian got the lawn mowed and then we went to his parents' house for dinner.
All-in-all--a good weekend.
