A Weekend of Firsts

We had such a great weekend!  We found out that our friend Eric would be running the Riverbank Run as well, and we hadn't seen them since August (or at least I hadn't), so Kelly was kind enough to have us over for a big pasta dinner on Friday night before the race.  

Saturday, we woke up way too early for a weekend and headed downtown GR for the race.  Aaron ran the 25k and my mom and I walked the 5k.  The weather was perfect...only a few sprinkles for a few minutes.  Aaron came in almost right at his goal time.  My mom and I made it in under an hour :)  Considering I can't let my heart rate get too high, we were happy with that.  We all went home and relaxed and some napped.  Later that afternoon, Aaron and I went to his Grandpa's to share our good news.  He was very excited.  I went to church with my parents while Aaron took care of the dogs.  After, my in-laws were kind enough to host Mother's Day dinner for everyone.  It was delicious!  I didn't make it very long though considering how early we got up.

Sunday, my mom and I went shopping.  She found a few dresses for a few weddings, and I found some more maternity pants.  I think my collection is complete with the exception of some shorts once it gets warmer.  We came home and sat on the patio for a few hours.  My brother came home for dinner as well. 

It was a fast but great weekend!  I also got to celebrate my first what I'll call half Mother's Day since I'm still cooking the baby :)  My dad bought me a rose after church on Saturday.  And my mom and dad both got a little "tranquility" angel for me to put in my purse to give me peace and stop my worrying.  It's nice to have in there as a reminder whenever I start getting nervous.  Thanks mom and dad!
