Labor Day Weekend Recap

A day late and a dollar short- that's the saying right?!

I was too tired to put together a blog post yesterday to recap the fun of the weekend, so excuse my tardiness.  But he is a rundown of the weekend...

Friday was girls night with the Delta Chi wives!  We enjoyed an awesome dinner at Spill the Wine!  It was fun to catch up with just the girls!  I left for my comfy bed after dinner while some of the other ladies did a little bar hopping.  I will blame my lack of enthusiasm for bar hopping on being 35 weeks preggo!

Saturday Ryan and I went to breakfast with my grandparents at Scotty B's.  I'm still so grateful that my grandparents live so close and we get to see them pretty regularly!  Then Saturday afternoon we attended the wedding of my best friend from middle school.  Charlotte and I went to the International School of MN and we were joined at the hip for 3 years!  When I left for Orono, we lost touch but after college, we reconnected once we were both back in the area.  It was a beautiful wedding with an incredible reception at the Calhoun Beach Club!  It was so fun to see Charlotte- she couldn't have been more beautiful!  And I got to reconnect with another old friend, Carina.  Carina and I were really good friends from Kindergarten until I left ISM as well.  So much has happened in all of our lives since we were 13 so it was really fun to hear about life and what's been happening since the 8th grade!

On Sunday Ryan had a work appointment so I did a little work at the office.  I'm trying to get things wrapped up for when I'm on maternity leave and it's always nice to have the office all to myself!  But after a little organizing and sorting, we headed out to the lake with our friends!  It wasn't very sunny but it was nice to enjoy time out with friends and relax for a while!  

How cute is Landon?!

We finished Sunday with a trip to Home Depot for some shelving for the garage.  And I did another load of baby laundry which I LOVE!!  So stinking cute!!

And then on Monday we met my friends Kathryn and Mike just before they flew back to California.  They were in town for Labor Day weekend and we grabbed a quick bite to eat with them at Mall of America.  So fun to see them and it was crazy to think when we see them next, we'll have our baby!  To finish the weekend, our family got together at my sister's house to hang out and then have a little pizza dinner.  

Lastly- a package from New Zealand showed up in our mailbox this weekend!

 My best friend Kristin is living in New Zealand.  She left in April and won't be back until 2015.  I was beyond surprised to find these adorable onesies in the mail.  To say that I cried like a baby would be an understatement.  I miss her lots!  What a fun surprise for Labor Day weekend!

I LOVE 3 day weekends and think they should be mandatory!

Cheers to it already being Wednesday!
