Slumber Party in 2013!!

What a weekend I have had!!

Saturday, Neil and I were lucky enough to have Jake and Tiffany come visit us while they went house hunting in Columbus.  We are sooooo excited to have them move back to Indiana and just hope they find a house that isn't TOO far away from us!  They hung out for about 3 hours as we discussed houses, jobs, how amazing Qdoba is, and of course played Sequence a couple times!  Then, on Saturday night, Dave went to get Little Mexico for us (yummm!!) and Neil, Dave, Ellen, Mom, Dad and myself enjoyed a nice Mexican fiesta!!  It was so good...I have been craving Little Mexico since I found myself in here almost two weeks ago!

Sunday started out a little scary as I woke up and passed a fairly large clot.  Fortunately, the Dr. and nurses aren't too worried about it - but of course, that didn't keep me from worrying my head off.  I was a nervous wreck all morning...but they assured me that everything was okay and we weren't going to need to deliver anytime soon!  But I still played it super careful all day, attempting to stay as absolutely horizontal as I could!! Mom and Dad came after church to comfort me then lovely Emily B. came and brought me the cutest little beaver stuffed animal!!  We chatted and visited for about an hour before she headed out and Ellen came to visit.  Once again, I was spoiled and got a lovely peppermint oil massage from her.  Let me just say that she could easily charge upwards from $50 for the massage she gave me!!!!  It was much appreciated, especially after my rough morning!  She also got me some super soft yarn so I could start knitting a blanket for Jimmer!  After Ellen left, Aunt Nan and Uncle Gary came to visit - which was such a wonderful surprise!!  We chatted about Jimmer and Grandma and Michelle as she began her new venture to Tennessee.  It was so nice to have so many visitors!!

But the best part of this weekend was my SLUMBER PARTY!!!!  Ellen was kind enough to spend the night with the pups so Neil could come and stay the night with me!  What's even better?! He brought me a MILKSHAKE!!!  When he got here, we started to watch a movie, then decided we'd just rather watch TV.  Then we headed down to the cafeteria for a quick dinner and back up to the room so I could begin my monitoring.  At about midnight, we were finally able to get to sleep.  But what made it even better was that I knew that come the morning, I would wake up and Neil would be here.  Even though I see him every day still, I miss him so much!

So this morning, we woke up together - even though his back (...and hips...and legs...and shoulders...) hurt so bad from the "bed" he slept on.  He went to get us breakfast while I began my morning monitoring.  So far, it has been an amazing morning!!  Can't wait for my Ice Cream Social today at 2:00pm!!!  More to come...

P.S. Happy anniversary, Emily and Eric!!  Can't believe it has been 2 years already!!
