Here's what we enjoyed this weekend:
1. A nice dinner with my Mom and Dad Thursday night. Which means I didn't work Friday - yippee! It also means I spent quite a bit of time at school getting prepared for my absence. Totally worth it.
2. Rob met with a chiropractor in DSM Friday morning. Fingers crossed, everyone!
3. While he was there, I met with HR since I won't be able to attend the new teacher meetings in Ankeny this summer. I was totally overwhelmed with paperwork and information, but I'm so glad to get a jump start on all this.
4. From there, I drove straight to my Dad's office since he knows all about insurance, IPERS, taxes, etc. I also learned all about AMP - Ankeny Market Pavillion which my Dad is in charge of. It's a huge project and he's doing a great job! I can't wait to see it when it's finished. Bonus: I also ran into Matt Jens who popped in for a business lunch.
5. Cory moved out from UNI and got to spend the weekend with us! He got there Friday afternoon and he and Rob finished up his last final.
6. We signed a lease on an apartment! I'm SO happy this is done. Now we just have to move. Yuck. At least we've still been bringing home a car full of stuff each time we come back. Next trip home will be my classroom stuff!
7. Ok, after the apartment, Rob, Cory and I headed to the Vogel residence so I could get an in-person tutorial on how to use Mandy's pump she's so generously passing on to me. Rob and Cory had fun playing with Brooklyn outside and I learned a lot!
8. Friday night Mom and Laura were busy little bees getting things set up for the shower so the boys and I had grilled burgers at home. Then, Mom and I went through all the baby stuff upstairs where they're so kindly storing it.
Yes, we're only through Friday night, folks. I warned you that it was a fun-filled weekend!
9. Saturday morning family started rolling into town for the big party. Read all about my amazing baby shower here.
10. From the shower, I had lunch with the Simms then zipped off to Melissa's bachelorette party! It was so fun to hang out with the girls since we don't get to spend much time together now that we're all spread out. We met at the Marriott downtown then left for Summerset Winery in Indianola. While I wasn't able to partake in the wine tasting, I did enjoy some tasty cheese and crackers. :) After that we came back to the hotel for gifts, snacks, and the most adorable photo booth Kandi set up. I didn't stay for dinner or go out with them but it was such a fun afternoon/evening!
11. While I was out, the Simms family celebrated Mother's Day. It sounds like they had a really nice time and I'm sad I couldn't make it!
12. Saturday evening the Simms came over to hang at my parents' house for a bit. It makes me realize how blessed I am to have two amazing families who love and support us with all the hearts.
13. Whew, finally onto Sunday! In the morning, the Simms came over to hang out for a bit before heading home. The boys went mushroom hunting while I made Mary and JoAnn look at all my gifts from the day before and talk about what we still need to buy. I'm incredibly fortunate to not have much left!
14. After they took off, my family all met at Wig and Pen for a
15. After lunch we zipped over to Grandma's to see a family heirloom Connie rescued. Then, Rob and I took off for KC after that whirlwind weekend. Somehow I still had enough energy to drag him to Target, but then I crashed! I was still exhausted today and I'm planning to head to bed right about now. Yes, it's 7:30. Don't judge.
