So life has been different, to say the least. I struggle to find my groove with the plethora of pregnancy symptoms, most of which aren't PC to really talk about here (you have-been-pregnant ladies know the common issues, though). Let's just say that things are WAY different than they were before. And I've been struggling to feel like myself through it all, with poor Andrew FLAWLESSLY handling any crying fits or random cravings or housework that may pop up any given moment.
We were thankfully able to take our trip to Indy and Chicago this past month. I was pretty miserable through most of it, but did my best to be a trooper. I am SO BUMMED I didn't get any pictures of Andrew with his parents, but I didn't even think to bring out the camera until we went to Chicago. We arrived Friday during the late morning/early afternoon, having decided VERY last minute to fly instead. We got to spend the whole weekend with both his mom and dad, but his dad had to leave Monday morning to go to work for the week. We got to visit some of our favorite spots that we don't have down here (Rally's and Famous Dave's, namely), and we got tons of visiting time with his parents. We hadn't seen them since our wedding nearly two years ago, so it was wonderful to get that time together. The weather was GORGEOUS, the trees were all turning colors these people in Texas don't get to see this time of year. People were so friendly!! Everywhere we went, people acted like they'd known us for a long time, like we were old friends. Such a laid back, calm, nice atmosphere.
Tuesday, the day before we came home, we drove to Chicago for a little mini-vacation just me and Andrew, with a stop by Northwestern to eat dinner with Andrew's godson, Jeff Jr. Downtown Chicago was AWESOME!!! Bustling with tons of people, all of whom seemed to sense the change in the lights before they happened. It was this intricate dance, almost, of people just moving without really looking to see if they should. It was very cool to walk through. We got to see The Bean!!!
And we went to a local pizza joint when we went to visit with Junior. He and Andrew are always goobers around each other, I love it!
That is all the pictures we got in Indy/Chicago. I was not feeling well, what can I say? =/
Animals are doing good, they missed us while we were gone. But their Aunt Sara took great care of them and we weren't worried about them too much (other than worrying if they were sad we left, haha). She was a real pal to come stay at our house in "Oklahoma", since she's used to being so close to her job and everything else she loves doing. THANKS A MILLION, SARA!!!!!!!!!!! You know you're the only person we trust to watch our home and follow our babies' routines while we are gone, and there aren't words to express how grateful we are to have you as our friend!!!! LOVE YOU!!!
Found these on the camera of Harley, wanted to share...Andrew discovered Harley loves to chase the water from the hose across the yard. Like, chase to the point that he runs so fast and loses his footing when he tries to change direction and goes careening off his path. So funny!!!!! And he gets soaked:
Also found the pictures we took the morning we found out we were pregnant. ***WARNING*** It was 5am, I'd JUST woken up not long ago, and I'd been crying. I look terrible, but it was the happiest moment ever so get over it, haha. ;)
Alright! That's all I have for now, I'm tired and Andrew will be home soon. This tired mama's going to go prop her feet up and watch some Craig Ferguson and relax after a long work week so far. Love you all!!!!!!
