Let's start with Friday the 11th!! It was my 27th birthday and it turned into a wonderful birthday!! I had my appointment and then we went to my mom's for lunch and to hang out until I went to pick up Aidan from the in-laws house. We all ended up back at Nana's (my mom's) around 4pm for Flank steak dinner and birthday cake!! My Aunt Jerri Lynn made a homemade ice cream, angel food cake. YUM It was a yummy meal. John was able to show up right around the time we were eating. It was nice that he didn't have to work terribly late that night and that I could see him. Not to mention that I had been on my anti-nausea meds and it was making me feel terrific!!
Saturday the 12th!!
We woke up and went to the in-laws house for breakfast of blueberry pancakes and bacon and eggs. Yum! So, we went to mom's house and John and my Uncle Sandy ended up taking 3 loads of branches and such to the dump or wherever the go. They are finally finished with that. While the boys worked, mom, Jerri Lynn and myself went to Purple Cafe and had a yummy lunch, and then went for pedi's!! We all even got cute flowers on our toes!! So fun! After we got back and the boys finished, John and I zoomed over to pick up Aidan from the in-laws to go home and get ready for a wedding. We ended up being about 45 minutes late since we left late and I needed to go to the pharmacy to get more test strips and lancets for my meter. Oh well, it was mainly a reception since they were already married before he went to Iraq. He's in the marines. Well, we left the wedding and got home around 11pm and crashed again.
Sunday, the 13th!!
John and Aidan let me sleep until almost 11am, while they ran errands. Much needed for sure! Then I got ready and headed to my mom's house after making a Chocolate Mousse Pie for after dinner that night. Mom and I had a bridal shower for a good friend of mine that I have known since like 3rd grade or so. Mom is also really good friends with her mom, in fact they go on "girls weekends" with 2 other women and all of us girls/daughters are the same age so that's fun, especially when they invite us on the weekends too!! Ok I digress. We went to the shower which was wonderful and had a great time celebrating Darci and showering her with gifts and games and such. Then we rushed home to have a home cooked BBQ from Jerri Lynn. She had been cooking and prepping for literally 4-5 days. We had so much, BBQ chicken, 4-bean bake, cheesy potato casserole, couscous salad, regular green salad (Katie's speciality), homemade lemonade, gooey spoon bread (like a really gooey cornbread), and then there was dessert. We had crepes with vanilla pudding (homemade), berries, homemade whipped cream, Nutela, bananas, some yummy rice krispie treat like treat but made with corn flakes, and my chocolate mousse pie. WOW, so much food but SO yummy. I don't think I forgot anything. We visited and played and then it was time to go home. We slept HARD last night.
Today has been a relaxed day at home and now I am using my folding laundry time to update this and to update the dropshots AND to watch 7th Heaven while Makenna and Aidan sleep soundly. So I hope you all had as great of a weekend as we did.
