I planned to go to Houston this past weekend for a friends baby shower. I was going to leave after work on Friday, but got a wrench in my plans when I found out I had to go to court to be a witness in a grand jury case. More to come of that later after it is all settled. I left Wednesday after work, and after court got to have a little fun.
We got to stay with Julie, and we were able to spend a lot of quality time together. We took the kids to the pool one day and ate yummy enchiladas at home. That evening after the kids went to sleep, Julie and I ran around and did some late night shopping. It was a lot of fun. I miss having that with my best. :( On Friday, we all drove to Surfside and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at the beach. Taryn has only been to the beach once before, when she was 6 months old- and that was just to stick her toes in the water. Taryn was scared at first, but quickly got over it. I am so happy that I was able to let Taryn enjoy something I cherish from my childhood. I told Julie, I bet my Meme was smiling down from Heaven. Taryn picked lots of seashells to bring home. Friday evening, we went and stayed with Hot Bangs and just got to hang out. I was pretty lame, as I was talking to my new boyfriend a lot! Honeymoon phase for sure.
The baby shower got cancelled due to the mom-to-be having to go to the hospital for contractions, so we decided to head back to Austin a day early. I was uber tired, but had plans to hang out with the boy after he got off work at midnight. When I put Taryn to bed, I decided to take a nap until D got off work. We ended up staying up until 3:30. I love his company, even when we do nothing. It is so enjoyable to spend time with him.
Today was spent scouring the web for money saving ideas. Thanks, Julie! I am turning over a new leaf and going to be more conscience of my spending.
Hope you all have a fabulous week ahead!
