ONE.
I've been in Okoboji since Wednesday night on a little mini vacation. My ended up renting this week's use of my Great Aunt's time share from our CJD fundraiser auction last year, so her and some other members of my family have been up here on and off this week to spend some time relaxing with this nice view.
It has been just a tad cold, but that just made it even better for having an excuse to relax inside! We've watched back to back Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel the past two nights (I may or may not have stayed up until 3 in the morning last night watching them..) and I am really loving it! Yesterday we went out and got manicures and pedicures. It was Grandma's first time getting her nails done, so that was a lot of fun! She said she needs to be careful or she might get addicted to it!

More family is coming up late tonight and then we are taking of for Minneapolis tomorrow afternoon so we can go to the Garth Brooks concert tomorrow night!!! Ahh!!! I can't believe it's finally here! But more on that after it happens :)

Yesterday I got to take advantage of being in the area and I visited with my friend Grace for a while in the afternoon. This was the first time I've seen her since the summer of 2011 and this was also the first time I met her son! (And I got to meet see her adorable baby bump) It took him a little while before he was okay with me being there, but after a while, I think he decided I was alright! It was so great to see Grace and get to talk to her for a bit - oh how I wish I could see her more often!!
Here's us (along with Lauren, of course) back from our college days! Such fun times!

We now know what puppy will be coming home with us in TWO weeks!! The one with the red collar is our new family member!
This is her!
And here she is at 4 weeks old at 1:30 in this video.

Since we painted our bedroom last weekend, I now need to get serious about hanging things up on our walls FINALLY! I have a few ideas including using what I hope will be a great family picture we will take after we pick up our new puppy and this quote below. I am also on the search for a few other things and hopefully it doesn't take me two and a half more years to get them up on the walls :)

I can't wait to meet her and love on her and snuggle her!!! I'm looking forward to get our little family all together and start working on our new normal!

FIVE.
And with it being cold... I think this is genius!!!
We kind of failed at taking a picture together and one of you with Trice. He's still talking about you, so I think you are now his best friend. It was so great to see you (and talk your ear off!) Hopefully we can get together again soon!!
ReplyDeleteTaking a picture didn't even cross my mind until I was writing this! Shoot!! You would think that we would be more on top of that!! :) That makes me smile that Trice was talking about me after I left. Hopefully we get together soon so he doesn't forget who I am before the next time :) I wish you could talk my ear off more often! I had such a great time! Thank you for spending part of your afternoon with me!
