Weekend Away!

Oh, and I was air brushed at the sephora counter! So Fun!

Last weekend I got to go visit one of my best friends, Laura, up in olympia. She is having her first baby and I went up for her baby shower, and to have some good old fashion girl time! At first I was going to just go up for the shower on sunday, but Laura invited me for the whole weekend, and Josh assured me he could handle the kids for two whole days! (When Josh told me I could go, I cried -I was sooo excited!) I left Saturday morning, and my brother Garret drove up with me to meet up with his girlfriend in W.A, making the drive quick and giving me such good brother sister time! I met up with Laura, and we took off to experience her very first Ikea shopping trip to get their baby room started! We had so much fun! We even ate lunch at the Ikea cafeteria! We spontaneously decided to go shopping at the mall, and then out to a nice dinner. It was sooooo nice just to catch up and talk, and fun to be with Laura as she gets ready for their baby boy! I also loved the fact (which laura you will soon understand:) that we could wander around and do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted. I didn't have to worry about anyone getting hungry or tired- but me! We ate dinner at like 8:00, I don't know why but I found that thrilling! We stayed up eating ice cream and watching a movie- and even though I fell asleep soon before the movie was over, it was nice to know that i could stay up late and sleep in!

Her shower was so fun! I can't wait to meet baby Hagen! The weekend was so refreshing- I came home a little tired ...from so much fun, but with my soul refreshed. AND - I came home to kids clean and in bed, dishes done, floor vaccumed AND FLOWERS on the table- all which made me cry!!! Thanks Josh, and thanks Laura!
