Last-Minute Wedding Shopping Day!

Yesterday, we had a little last-minute wedding shopping to do, so we...Joshua, Holly, Logan and I...headed down to LR for the day.

Holly had to turn in some paperwork at her nursing school, so that's the first thing we did...and we had to leave early to get there in time.

After that, we headed to Academy, because Logan was wanting a new swimsuit for his honeymoon...and was also looking for a new shirt.

Here's where everyone needs to know that shopping with Logan is not for the faint-of-heart. Seriously. It would drive the Pope to drink.

If he already doesn't.

He will look and look and look...and not really say much, even tho I'm asking him questions, like:

"Anything you like?" 
"What exactly are you looking for?" 
"This?" 
"This?" 
"This?"

At some point, he decided that he'd seen enough, and was ready to leave...which we did.

Empty-handed.

We went to another sporting goods store, and it was more of the same: look, look, look some more. He did find a swimsuit that he liked, Praise Jesus, and we bought that sucker and left. I was ready to head to the next place on our list, but Logan SPOKE! And he said, "the shirts were cheaper at the first store."

Grrr...

So, BACK to the first store we went. And bless Joshua's heart...he is a good-natured shopper, for the most part, but he's hard of hearing. He totally missed the part where Logan SPOKE and about the cheaper shirts. He could not figure out WHY IN THE WORLD we were back at the first store. He said, "what are we DOING here?"

So funny! Then we went to Hobby Lobby...and by then, everyone was hungry, so we drove over to Big Orange. They have all kinds of burgers and are known for having great milkshakes. Logan was really wanting a milkshake.

Logan and Holly each got a turkey pesto burger that had a fried egg on it and some kind of cheese and pesto. It was huge! And Logan ate every bite of his! I couldn't believe it! Holly didn't finish hers, and Joshua and I split a traditional burger. Or, as he calls it, "TRANditional." It was the perfect amount of food for us.

I may or may not be turning into my Grandma Ellen, may she rest-in-peace. She always had to know when her next meal was coming...and she spent an awful lot of time describing what she had to eat when she went out.

NO ONE was hungry for a milkshake afterwards, tho!

After lunch, Holly and Logan went into a sleep coma, but we still had things to do! We went to the mall and got Morgan a gift...and picked up a few other things. And then we were done!

Except that I remembered two things we didn't get...AFTER we were already on the way home.

We grilled steaks last night...for Logan's last "home" meal. (sniff)

Gonna miss this boy.
