Get your umbrellas....

Once again, i got caught up in the everything that is daily life and have not written in almost a month. Needless to say i have some catching up to do and wanted to get it done before July...so i have like a minute!

So Tony and i went back to michigan once again to a very busy long weekend. This time our main purpose was to come home for Nicole's shower...

It was so long ago, to be honest i am not even sure what i did that weekend...all i am sure of is that nicole's shower went off without a hitch...Everything was lovely and she got a lot of amzing gifts, and cried ( if she didn't, we would have thought we didn't do a good enough job!!!)

She looked radient in a yellow dress that without planning, her sister wore the same color and looked just as amazing!!! Tony and i stayed at Tara's some of the weekend and i love that she lets us invade... Her place is so cozy and comfy and i love being there when she gets out of work so we can catch up. It gets so hard when we are only home for a few weekends out of the year and we have to fit everyone in... NOT that i don't love to see everyone, but it does get taxing. So it is nice to be able to hide from the chaos in such a cozy home..thanks baby.

Prior to the shower Tony and i got to visit with his parents, mark and tiff and we were so excited to see how big and smart nate is getting..i mean, i expect that he will grow, just not that fast!!!

we also got to spend some time with jay and cathy, although just for dinner and few drinks, because they had an early next day, as did we.

Dinner with my friends was squeezed in the weekend and as a lovely surprise, lana came! it is always so nice to see my friends that i don't get to see often.

After shower stuff, my mom and dad had a barbeque at their house and like always it was a full house of folks that i was excited to see. I went out and bought some lawn toys and brooke, jeff, and i broke each and every one of them, i think. It was fun. things like that, make me want to hurry up and come home, so i can have my own yard and my own lawn toys that i will take care of :)

I forgot, i got to hang with scott when we got home, thanks again for picking us up at the airport. we went to dinner and then right to bed because tony and i did not get any sleep on the plane for a few reasons

1. we had just gotten out of work and as we were sitting at the airport noticed that we were sitting behind Big BadVoodoo Daddy...'though we were too exhausted and too tired looking to say hi or ask for autographs... but mostly we didn't get sleep because 2. these awful children were whining and crying FOR NO REASON and their mother, in a very timid voice was saying " um, stop it, ok, that is enough'

whatever happened to "WHEN WE GET HOME I AM GOING TO BEAT YOUR ASS" and not even that a kid needs an ass beating, but the threat alone would have made me jump out of the plane window as a child. i hate the ways that most parents have decided to treat their kids these days...THEY ARE NOT YOUR BEST FRIENDS!!! THEY ARE YOUR KIDS DAMMIT!!! i promise that when tony and i have kids, our will not be the ones in the grocery stores throwing things or the one at the bank screaming his or her head off..

ahem, sorry about the tangent, but as soon as i remembered that we had been awake for 35 hours and couldn't get even 20 minutes of sleep, i got angry again..

oh well., so all in all it was a productive and wonderful weekend and i can't wait to get home again for nicole's wedding!!!
