Highlights of the week.
- Cro-nuts with Carrie and Betsy on Monday! We had to eat them in the car because there is no seating at River Oaks Donuts, FYI. It was a good time to catch up and the donuts were amazing.
- Target and IKEA with Betsy on Wednesday. I got the rest of the bedding for the kids room, underbed storage for their room since they will be sharing one dresser now, and some frames for some of the prints I’m planning for their room and the baby’s room. Oh, and this hat just because.
- On Thursday we made a trip to HEB for a few things then to Chick-fil-A then home for a picnic since the weather was amazing.
- On Friday I headed out to Richvale for Ruthie’s wedding! Ben took me to the airport in the morning, Carrie spend Thursday night with us and has the kids until Ben gets home from work around lunch time. Then he drove the kids to Austin to stay with his parents for the weekend. On the plane I read half of the third Hunger Games book. It was amazing how much I got through without any distraction. After getting in to Sacramento I drove to Richvale, changed clothes and we all headed to the rehearsal dinner. After the dinner we went and had frozen yogurt with the Rystroms, something I wouldn’t have been able to do with the kids.
- Saturday morning we helped set up the reception, had lunch in Durham then went home to get ready for the wedding. The wedding was lovely and the rehearsal was a lot of fun. I stayed up too late both Friday and Saturday night, but figured it was an opportunity I wouldn’t get again, so I should take advantage of the time to spend with family even though it meant sore feet and an early morning.
- On Sunday Marj and my mom fixed breakfast and a few people came over before Sarah, Lane and I headed to the airport. Everything went well despite having almost no time to stop between dropping the car at the rental place and boarding the plane. We’d cut it a bit close. When we got back to Austin Sarah and I discovered our bags would not be joining us. Thankfully Southwest assures us we’ll have them both back on Monday. Ben drove us back to Houston and we got in around 11. The kids were a little grumpy but went right to sleep. Thanks to Ben for letting me go and have such a fun weekend! Thanks to Carrie for watching the kids Friday morning. And thanks to Kate, Steve and Claire for helping out in Austin. We couldn’t have done it without you!
