Good Friends, Good Food and Good Purses!

Saturday was a big, busy day for me. It started off by me loading up our minivan with 3 of my friends and we set out on an adventure. Our adventure was Vera Bradley shopping! I have been addicted to Vera Bradley for over 10 years. Slowly, but surely, I have gotten my friends addicted too!

This sounds crazy and I DO realize it while I am typing it, but honestly, when I get into a store that has A LOT of Vera's (as my friends and I refer to the line) I get so excited! Certain members of my family do make fun of my obsession but I don't care! I don't know what it is about Vera Bradley but I love everything.

So, I got a purse (that my Dad bought for me...thanks Dad!) a wallet and a free little pouch because I spent so much money!! But it was all worth it.

Not only do I love to buy Vera Bradley items but I also love to watch others buy. Some need a little push in the right direction and I am all too happy to give them that push that they need (right Jen and Lori!).

We had a bunch of fun and ended our afternoon with lunch at Applebees! It was a nice afternoon with friends that I have had forever. It was nice to catch up and just hand out without the husbands and kids (that we love very, very much!).

That evening, Dustin and I went to dinner at Outback with my parents and two other couples. We all used to go to church together. It was so nice to get out and have dinner with adults. It was weird not taking the boys with us (thanks to my mother-in-law for watching the boys!) and I did miss them, but it was nice to enjoy my meal without having to cut food for and feed the boys!

I am thankful for a great Saturday but must admit that I was quite tired on Sunday. I am not getting any younger!!

Hope you all have a fun and tiring weekend too!


**In case you all are wondering (and I know that you are!!!) what kind of purse and wallet I got, go to the VB website and look at the picture of the "Gabby" bag in "Purple Punch" and the "Sleek Wallet" in "Purple Punch!" And if anyone out there wants to get me a Vera Bradley item, but aren't sure what to get ...I love it all!!! HA! : )
