Restful Sunday

Yesterday I volunteered out at the Dallas Race for the Cure. It was a really really early morning...I left the house at 3:15 am! Yikes! I stopped by Taco Cabana and got two bag fulls of breakfast tacos, because as you all know, I am not very easy to be around when I am hungry. Our first volunteers started arriving about 4:15 and kept coming until about 10:15. All went really well and our booth was pretty well cleaned up by 11:15. So amazing seeing this giant sea of people out there supporting such a wonderful cause. I am honored I was able to be a part of it. The last figure I heard yesterday was about 26,000 runners/walkers, but I bet they beat that...and we had about 1,000 volunteers come out, along with all those who just came to support their loved ones, etc. I bet there were about 30,000 folks out there. Not to mention it was a BEAUTIFUL day so I'm sure that helped participation quite a bit. I came home and needed to eat, so Ryan drove me over to Fuddrucker's at Irving Mall for a burger. I'm suprised I made it home before falling asleep (about 2:30)! Finally woke up about 4:30 and had to get out of the house in order to wake up. So Ryan and I headed up to Linen's and Things to see if they had any good specials for their going out of business sale. Things weren't extremely cheap yet, but we did buy ourselves a comforter, shams, etc for fear if we waited too long, they wouldn't have any queen size stuff left. Sage green Damask set. Simple and looks really nice in the room. I got the new pillowcases and dust ruffle washed, ironed and on the bed about 9:00 and immediately got in bed. I didn't even hear Ryan come to bed...I'm sure it was after the end of the UT/Mizzou game though.
So after several busy months, it is about time for a restful Sunday. What a beautiful day today too! Woke up at nine, headed to church, stopped by the grocery store, we grilled, and I've been cleaning/relaxing since. I'm kinda in one of those meandering moods...maybe I'll go walk around Big Lots or Target...
I hope everyone has a fantastic week!
