The weekend started with me going to lunch with my friend Heather Belcher from Utah. Heather is actually from Texas (Midland/Odessa area, I think) and her brother recently moved to Fort Worth and she was out helping him with a home renovation. So I drove over to Fort Worth to meet her for lunch. We went to In-N-Out only because I knew the dining room was open for in-store dining and I know where all the locations are easily. It was so good to see her as she was one of my good friends there in Utah. It was great to catch up and whenever I meet up with an old friend and we catch up, I realize that life isn't so bad and that everyone has similar struggles. It's nice to not feel so alone.
On Saturday, I used up the cream and half and half in the fridge and made some ice cream with the kids. We chose to make mint chocolate chip. It turned out delicious, only the kids thought there were too many chocolate chips. So I'll use a little less next time and maybe more green dye to make it greener. But it was definitely a success!
And the biggest news is that Westley bought a truck! He had saved a good bit of money since working in Utah in the summer. Plus, his Ireland trip for band was moved to 2022, which leaves him out from going, since he's a senior graduating in 2021, so he canceled it and was refunded a good amount of money that he had put into it. So, he used some of that money and found a used truck (1998 Toyota Tacoma) for $2000 and bought it. It's exciting for him to have his own vehicle to drive and it helps us out. And this gives him a great opportunity for independence and responsibility.
