labor day weekend

Labor Day Weekend

aka, MY BIRTHDAY.

Although the rain tried to bring us down, we ended up having a fabulous, relaxing weekend.

Literally, it rained ALL weekend. And it was not the pretty kind of rain, but a slow drizzle that makes your hair frizzy.

Imagine me: Almost whale status nine months pregnant, swollen feet (this is a new trick my body is doing), and frizzy hair....such a sight!

Friday night, we went to Georgia Blue with the Patties. That Adda Laine is so so sweet. And she totally recognizes me now! She knows her Kiki.

Saturday morning, I was awoken (is that a word) by my friendly fedex man with a special surprise from Josie...

No words to describe my excitement when I saw this special box!

Oh no he did-n't! But yes he did!

Sadly, no picture with the actual purse bc it was a rough preggie looking day

Next, Trish brought over lots of goodies with this little treat.

DQ cookie dough ice cream cake...yeah, you heard it right!

In the words of Joey Lindley, this cake is "stupid good!"

So saturday was spend walking around the house with new purse and stuffing my face with ice cream cake.

New louis didn't make his outside appearance with all this rain...his hair might get frizzy, too!

Sunday (actual day of birth): still rainy. But we got out and went to see The Help.

Such a good movie...sobbed my eyes out. I knew it was not a good sign when I saw a preview about this horse. Now, he was running for his life from something and I lost it. And when I saw him limp, the tears were never-ending. Dang that limping horse!

So the actual movie was spent laughing, crying, and spotting my celebrity BFF Sloane Porter Fair in the movie. I screamed every time I saw her...So now I am a sobbing mess and a screamer. Fun times.

We had a fun lakehouse day planned for Sunday, but of course, that rain got us.

We cooked out at my parents, instead.

Yesterday was spent lazily, too. Shocker. We went to walmart. Notice how I said we? There is no I  in walmart, anymore. And I took a two hour nap. Loves it!

So while my friends were spending time at the beach (not visiting the sand) and at various football games, I was napping, crying, eating, and walking around in a robe and my new LV. Oh yeah, all this was done with frizzy hair.

Couldn't have imagined a better birthday for this season in my life.

4.5 weeks until Hudson comes.
Nursery is almost done. Waiting for light fixture to come in and finding a lamp for table. Maybe by the end of next week....and then blog post all about the nursery. I actually have had several people ask about this.
Work shower is tomorrow. Get excited!

Apparently one of the inside jokes from the phi mu beach trip is "blessed", so I won't use that word.
But I am definitely feeling thankful.

 

Holla!
