Fun Friends Weekend

I have so much fun when I get together with my high school friends. On Friday night Becky and I went to the Gateway, did some shopping and went to the late movie of Mama Mia. It was pretty silly and made us laugh. 007 really shouldn't sing! It was great getting out of the house and feeling like an adult again. Becky lives in L.A. so we don't get to see each other very often. It felt like we just picked up conversation where we left off. It's so nice to be comfortable enough with someone to tell them everything.

The next day I drove out to Natalie's house were she and Stefani were holding a baby shower for Kami. It was fun giggling and sharing baby stories. I loved seeing Kami's cute belly. It makes me a little sad that I won't have anymore babies, but I do have my hands full now so I shouldn't be even thinking about that. While I was out, my husband took all three kids and went to Provo to visit his family, and didn't come home until 5:00. OH, what a nice break. I just read books and enjoyed having the house to myself. Later that night Stephen took me on a date out to dinner and a play and I got to leave the kids again with a sitter. (can you tell this day was much needed?)

Then we met up with all the friends again on Sunday when we went to Stefani's baby's blessing. It was a nice afternoon, but my kids were horrible in sacrament. They really are naughty at church, and make my husband so embarrassed. Sure it bothers me too but not like him. He's a back row kinda guy, so he hates knowing our kids are drawing attention our way. They are getting a little bit better though. We've been threatening them before church each week and it seems to be working:)

I wish all my friends lived close so we could pretend we were carefree more often. Today has reminded me that life must go on though. Running Asher to preschool at 9, grocery shopping,laundry, lunch, picking up Asher, dropping Aiden off to kindergarten....) I love my life but it does get a bit monotonous. Good thing for fun weekends to remind me I'm still and individual.
