Why can't we always have 3 day weekends?

How was everyone's extended weekend? Mine was glorious to say the least! I am in love with 3 day weekends and I wish that we always had Monday's off, it would be so much better than ending the weekend on a Sunday. As Jeremy says, "I'm of the belief that the work week should consist of four days and weekends should be 3 days."

Friday night I had a lovely date with myself, Sex & The City Season 3 and 4 and a glass of wine that my lovely roomate bought me (White Zin, $2 Buck Chuck from the Trader Joes in Charlotte) The wine was really good for a $2 bottle too. It was a fantastic way to end my very long work week. Jeremy finished up working at the Fireworks stand around 9:30 and he dropped in for some much needed conversation and quality time before I had to pick up Erica and Micayla from church camp at 11:30.


Saturday was a lazy day honestly, the girls and I slept in til 10 and then I made pancakes. I took them and my brother to Gilda's for some fun in the pool and on Lake Wylie. Headed to Jeremy's parent's after that to see the new tractor that Mr. Jeff just purchased which didn't last long since we ended up having to run and pick up a truck load full of fireworks for the Fireworks Warehouse with Todd. Which Jeremy got paid really well to do! Saturday night we went to Longhorn with our married friends Dana and Patrick and then to downtown Rock Hill for their Red, White & Boom July 4th celebration. We had a wonderful time catching up with them and walking around the town!


Sunday was Jeremy's Grandmother's birthday and she asked that the entire family come to church with her and sing for the congregation. I felt so honored to be asked to join the family... after all, I'll be a Reynolds one day :) We had pizza, beer and watched The Crazies on Sunday night with Nathan and Todd-- Let's just say its a very 'demented' movie as Stephanie said.


Monday I had high hopes of spending the entire day doing absolutely nothing with Jeremy, we've been so busy going here, there and everywhere that I was super excited to just BE with him on Monday. But he ended up doing car work with Scott, which is such a blessing. For those of you who don't know, Jeremy has a 1981 Camaro that he has had since he was 14. Last year the transmission went out and we haven't had the money to fix it but praise the Lord, Scott said that Jeremy could have the transmission out of his old Nova if we wanted it all Jeremy had to do was come and help him take it out. So yesterday was spent doing that while I did laundry at my house and tried to decide how I want to rearrange my room. We ended up at Jeremy's in the late afternoon and he said lets work on the Camaro... although I wasn't thrilled with this idea I went with it since its a rarity that he gets to work on his car and its something he really enjoys.




Definition of true/meaningful/lasting love: I, April Wynn, got under the Camaro along with all of the spider webs, bugs, frogs, dirt dobbers and mice in the shed to help my adorable boyfriend remove the drive shaft. If that doesn't scream out 'I love you and I'm in this for good' I do not know what does. I hate bugs, I hate dirt, I hate frogs, I hate anything that fly's, I'm not so handy with anything mechanical but I love Jeremy Reynolds so I got under the car to help him.
