"Girls Weekend" and Still Living Out of Suitcases

I have to say that this was one of the better weekends I have had in a long time. It was very busy but it was filled with lots of "girl" time with some special people!

First, Friday I was able to go and pamper myself a bit with some hair highlights and a new (much shorter) haircut (I am over my "growing out my hair stage!"). Usually when I get my hair cut, I don't care for it. There is always some sort of "fixing" that I need to do. Not this time! I am very happy with it. I must say that it is VERY short and I love it!!! It is so easy to do now!

Saturday, I went to the movies with my mother-in-law and her sister to see "Mama Mia." It was very good and I really enjoyed it. After the movie we picked up my sister-in-law (who didn't go to the movie because she is not into musicals and you must be in order to see this movie) and we all four went to lunch and did a little shopping. My mother-in-law and her sister are something else. We laughed and laughed. They tried to recreate scenes of the movie during lunch and then while we did some shopping. They really are a hoot to be around. Never a dull moment with those two!

Finally today, I met up with a friend of mine who also happened to be my former boss. She had to put up with my while I was pregnant with Logan. May God bless her for putting up with me during those months. She was probably glad to get rid of me when I finally stopped working. Lets just say that I shared my whole pregnancy with her. The good, bad and the ugly! Thanks for putting up with me Kate! Anyway, Kate has since moved out of state, back to her hometown, so we don't get to have lunch on a regular basis. So, she was in town for a bit and we met up today and it was really nice to catch up with one another and reminisce a bit. Thanks for lunch Katy! Maybe one day I will make it to your hometown and treat you to lunch! : ) I also made it to "Whole Foods" (remember my new fav!) on my way back home, well not home but back to my parents!!

Yes, we are still not able to go home yet. The remediation was completed on Wednesday but the final inspection and testing was not preformed until yesterday. We could have stayed at the house while the remediation was being done but we opted not to. The company told us that we were free to go home now that the work is done but we aren't to go near the affected area and also not to turn the air conditioning on. For those of you that know us, you know that Dustin turns the air on the first 75 degree day and it doesn't normally go off until the first snow! No we aren't THAT bad but close! So, with it being so warm here lately we would not have made it without the air. We are hoping to be back in our house by mid-week. Please pray that everything is good and well and healthy with our house. We ALL miss being home in our own beds and having our own space. We are forever grateful to both sets of our parents for letting us stay with them. We have been taking turns staying at both parent's houses for the past 10 days! I think that we ALL will be happy to be in our own homes...alone! I tease but it hasn't been that bad at all. The boys have enjoyed being with their grandparents and the grandparents have enjoyed being with the boys. Dustin and I are just extra baggage! Thanks Parents!

Well, that is it for now. I have a busy week...hopefully. We plan to be back in our house and taking care of all that needs to be done there. Then I have to start seriously planning Luke's first birthday party. My baby will be one in a little over two weeks! I can't believe it. This past year has flown. Both boys are getting so big and oh are they so precious and cute! I will try to post some pictures of them this week if we get back into our house!!! Please pray!

Have a blessed week!
