What a weekend! The shower is officially O-V-E-R! And it was a great success! I'll get to that in a sec but first, I'm going to rewind a little bit.
Friday night I decided that Nate and I NEEDED a date. It has been months since we have been out alone. That is one MAJOR thing I miss about being close to my parents. Anyway, I planned the entire evening. We were going to do something DIFFERENT and really FUN! My good brother and his wife came down and watched the kids for us. I'm thankful that they are always so willing to help us out.
So, we started by going out to eat somewhere neither one of us had ever been. TEXAS ROADHOUSE. YUM! Why have we never been there before? I'm not sure but it was fantastic and not nearly as overpriced as I thought it was going to be! Those rolls were killer!
Then we jumped on the highway and headed to the hills. We went up to Heise Hot Springs! Sorry, no pictures of us WHITEYS are going up on the blog but we had a really fun time:
(Try to ignore how hideous this picture is of me) ☺Time alone is SO necessary and we are really going to make it a priority once more. It felt so good to just get away for an evening and have fun together. We enjoyed floating in the hot water and looking up at the moon and the stars. There were some shall we say, "interesting" people at the hot springs as well. Hey, toothless smiles and random peeking butt crack really helps create a romantic mood wouldn't you say?? Kept us laughing nonetheless. I love my man. I love looking over at him and being so happy that we're still hanging out after all of these years and we still have so much fun just being together. Whenever we get a chance to swim together I always think about our honeymoon in Mexico. Has it really almost been 10 years? I'm more in love with him today then I was back then.........
Anyway...sidetracked.
Saturday was the shower!!! We ended up having about 70 ladies come. Jessi received LOTS of diapers and wipes and lots of darling little outfits. That baby is wearing a new one every day of his life (at least from 0-3 months anyway!) Everything came together so well...even the weather outside cooperated! Sunshine! Hooray!
Her baby should be here anytime! The birth mom is 36 weeks now so any day now! I can't tell you how incredibly excited I am for her. This baby boy is so lucky to join such a loving home.
What a great weekend. And so begins another crazy week!
