Weekend Wrap-Up

Hello my loverlies!  I hope you all had wondefully relaxing weekends, I sure did, even though it rained more than I've EVER seen it rain in Texas in the summer.  And speaking of the tsunamis crazy amounts of rain we got last week, the Mister and I had a bit of an experience on our way home from dinner on Friday night.  It started down pouring in the middle of dinner so by the time we got in our car it was straight up hurricane-ing.  We decided to drive through my parents neighborhood because the Mister wanted to show me the houses in the back of the neighborhood that I hadn't seen before.  As we were driving I looked to my right and saw a ball of fur fly by the window on my side.  I, of course, freak out and tell the Mister to slam on the brakes and that there's a dog (I think, at least from what I could tell) and he will hit it if he doesn't stop!  He then stops due to the freaking out and hyperventilating of his pregnant wife and gets out of the car in the pouring rain and starts whistling for the pup.  IMMEDIATELY a little, drenched, reddish-brown poodle runs to his side and he picks the poor little freaked out love up and puts her in his truck where she immediately buries her head in my lap and snuggles into me.  I seriously almost started crying she looked so terrified.  So we look at her collar and realize sweet Sophie's about 3 houses away from her home and call the owners.  Apparently she had been left outside when the crazy rain came out of nowhere and was so scared she found a way out of her back yard.  In the end, we got her back to her owner's safe, dry house and all was okay.  Thank GOODNESS we decided to go look at the neighborhood and thank GOODNESS I saw her next to the car!  I don't know WHAT I would've done if the Mister had hit her!!!

Saturday I spent finishing up my registry with one of my favorites who is an experienced mommy.  It was so nice to have someone that knows what kind of bottles, diapers, bibs, plates, snack cups, etc. that I need.  I think I'm pretty much set on my registry, there are a few more things that I am going to do with my mom, but for the most part, we're set!!!

Saturday night we went to the going away party for my friend Ginny that I told everyone about on Friday.  We had a GREAT time (besides the fact that we had to say goodbye to Gin for at least a year) and my Mister and a good friend of Gin's (and mine now, through Gin) husband, Billy ALMOST won the whole washers tournament!  I was so proud!  The food was fantastic, the company was great and the evening ended with SPRINKLES CUPCAKES.  Pretty sure I had a foodgasm.  I took some pictures, however LET the record state, I no longer like pictures of myself.  At all.  I look like someone stuck a helium tank in my mouth, turned it on and let it go until my face looks like a 13 year old with baby fat.  And by baby fat I mean from being a baby, not from carrying one.  So here goes.

Seriously.  Can I look any chubbier?  Don't answer that.  Because in two months I'm pretty sure I'll answr my own question.  Moving on.  Sunday we went to church and then meet a few of our couple friends at their neighborhood pool and played with their kiddos.  The Mister is off all week so last night we played like it was a Saturday and watched a movie (Beautiful Mind which I'd NEVER SEEN but LOVED!) and ate dinner at home.  And that's it for the wrap-up!  I will say one thing.  I'm ready for fall.  Period.  This pregnant woman has had ENOUGH of this heat.  Especially since I've offically started swelling.  Which feels equivalent to have sausages for all of your appendages including your fingers and toes.  Awesome.

I hope y'all have a great week!  Happy Monday (as happy as a Monday can be, right?) loverlies!!!
