Something to celebrate!

Last night Bryan came home from his 16 hour day to report that he had officially delivered his first baby! It was a girl! So we had some champagna in scrubs and p.j.'s and toasted to babies!

The weekend

What a fun weekend! Friday night, Carrie came down and we went to the Twins game. Her hubby and his baseball team were also there. After the game we decided to go to the Liffey because Carrie had never seen their terrace. We had some drinks and a fruit and cheese plate and then called it a night.
The next morning we met Anne for breakfast at the Highland Grill. We ate a lot and Carrie had a burrito the size of her head. We of course stopped at Patina and Stephanie's to shop!
After breakfast Carrie and I made our way to Le Center. Oh, you don't know where that is? Yeah, either did we! But we made it in one piece and had a great time celebrating Amber's wedding shower! Only a few weeks until the big day! Even though it was a wedding shower there were sure a lot of babies and babies on the way. Above is Tiffany, Kat and Janell all at different stages of pregnancy- aren't they adorable?!?!

And below is a great picture of all the girls- we are very lucky to have each other!!

Thanks for such a great weekend ladies!! Can't wait to see you for the wedding!

4th of July/ Anniversary Break!

Where do I begin? I was very lucky to be able to have July 4- July 8th off from work! I have great pictures from the whole break but I will have to add later due to a smoking computer that my dad is fixing!!

July 4th: I went to visit the family that I used to PCA for and I don't think I had seen since my wedding. The boys are getting big and the family is doing well. Having two special needs children is a very full time job and they are amazing at it!
Then I went to my Grandma and Grandpa's new town home for food and gin & tonics. (My grandpa makes the best gin & tonic's and never drinks them!)
Bryan had to study for his upcoming tests so I stayed out of the house until 8pm or so to let him study. Then we grabbed a drink and app's at Moose Country and saw some fireworks from there.

July 5th: I decided to make the little trip out to St. Michael and Elk River to visit Kat and Erin and all of their children! It was so wonderful to see Kat, her girls and her growing belly! And as always, it was very entertaining to visit Erin and play with Rowan, and get some pictures of Daylen.

July 6th: I waited for Bryan to come home after his second test so we could head up to Duluth. He got home at a decent time and we were up at Little Angie's drinking margaritia's on the deck by 3. We stayed at the South Pier Inn, and not the Super 8 like Bryan had told me. Our "honeymoon suite" was so beautiful, there were windows everywhere and it was so relaxing. We ate, walked on the Lakewalk and read a lot. It was such a nice break to have to celebrate our second wedding anniversary!

July 9th (our actual anniversary): Bryan started his OB rotation today so I was going to make a yummy meal and we were going to crack a bottle of champagna and hang out. Instead I went home from work sick and stayed on the couch all day. Bryan checked my glands just to make sure and then went grocery shopping. He also picked up a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card. Now that is a good husband!

All in all it was a wonderful break and I was so spoiled to see so many people I love! I will add pictures soon- I have so many good ones!

Happy Birthday Dad!

*Sunday we celebrated my Dad's birthday with a brunch on a boat while cruising around Lake Minnetonka. It was nice and relaxing to hang out, eat and talk on a perfect day!

*This is one of my favorite pictures of us! Happy Birthday Dad!

*Friday I had a nice dinner with Dr. Meghan Sebasky. It was so nice having martini's in Uptown and getting caught up! I can't believe she's a doc!

*Saturday morning was spent cleaning an apartment and spending quality time with my husband. Then I went to Caribou in the afternoon and started my new book, "The Glass Castle." After that I decided I needed to get my baby fix and went to see my little Caleb. I tried to get him to walk but he is stubborn and only gave me one step! I stayed out of the apartment so that Bryan could study without me as a distcraction!

*All in all it was a nice weekend but I am looking forward to this coming weekend. Bryan and I are going to Duluth for our anniversary after his test on Friday. But we will be back Monday so he can start his OB rotation. Can't wait!

Bryan

My Husband= Amazing

Medicine = Pain in my...



Let's take yesterday for example:

7 am: Bryan goes to work- I'm still sleeping.

11:30 pm: Bryan comes home from work an hour and a half late- I'm sleeping.

11:40 pm: I ask Bryan when he is coming to bed and he proceeds to explain all of the things that he needs to research and study for tomorrow, when he starts again at 7am.

12:30 am: I check to see if he fell asleep on the couch (which tends to happen), but no he is still on the computer researching.

1:30 am: I think this is when he came to bed but I was sleeping.

6:00 am ish: Bryan gets up- I'm still sleeping.

7:00 am: Bryan comes in to kiss me before he leaves for work- I'm still sleeping.

8:00 am: I get up to go to work- I'm done sleeping.



With all of this happening, I never hear one complaint, he is not crabby, he just does his work and tries to do his best. He works his butt off, doesn't complain, and still has time to say I love you, good morning and good night.

I am very lucky and blessed to have him as my husband!

A peanut butter story

So, this morning I am minding my own business, having my bagel and peanut butter. I put the peanut butter on the bagel, get my water, sit down and am ready to eat. I pick up the bagel, attempt to put it in my mouth... but no! It slips out of my hand, and lands smack in the middle of my black pants. Now this bagel could of hit half of my pant leg, or grazed the side, but no, it couldn't of gotten more peanute butter on there if I had planned it. Of course this happens at 9:00am so all day, people have told me that I have some "dust or something" on my pant leg.

WOW- that's all I have to say- WOW!

Girls Weekend 2007

This past weekend was the official Girls Weekend, since the last one didn't work out quite as we had hoped! We made our way to Wisconsin, and spent a wonderful weekend talking about weddings, relationships, babies and college memories. I really cherish these times and it reminds me how lucky we are to have such a large, strong network of friends. It is growing by the day, with babies and marriages on the way! While I was looking at some pictures that were sent out to all of us from the weekend a co-worker glanced over and saw them. She commented what a large group of friends and how nice that must be.

Sometimes we take things for granted, but after this weekend it is easy to remember how lucky we all are. It is rare to find such wonderful friends, and ever more rare to find time to see them all! I am glad that we take time out of our busy lives to spend some time together, away from significant others, jobs, babies and life in general.

Thank you ladies: Amber, Amy, Beth, Carrie, Erin, Janell, Kat, Kelly, Suzie, Tiffany.
