Weekend Recap

We had a very busy, but very fun weekend!

We went back to Rockford for a wedding and our last shower.  Friday morning, I was lucky enough to have breakfast with my BFF who made it all the way from California for the shower :)  It meant so much to have her there!  

Later that day, we celebrated a wedding for two of our great friends.  The details were amazing and you could tell that they really put a lot of effort into every little thing.

After the wedding, we made the almost 2 hour drive back to Grand Rapids Friday night so that we didn't have to get up super early in the morning to drive back for our shower.  Aaron was kind of enough to stay coherent enough to stay awake and keep me company on the ride home :)

Saturday was our third shower.  Once again, this baby was spoiled!  We got so many great gifts.  And even better than the gifts, so many people came to show their love and support. People came from close by and really, really far away and in the middle.  The travel alone was greatly appreciated.  If only I could have spent more time with everyone.  It's just so hard when you have to make it around to all of the guests.  As I mentioned above, my BFF was in from CA, her sister came from Chicago, our college roommate from Bay City, and friends came from Detroit and Rockford.  Not to mention all of the family that came as well.  Thank you to everyone...it really meant so much to have each and every one of you there even if I couldn't sit and chat for long.  Love you guys!!  And a special thank you to my all of my aunts and my mom for putting on the shower.  It was greatly appreciated.

And we can't forget about Wally :)  These are just some random pictures, but I had to put them in.  I took him to the dog park before I left for the wedding to get some of his energy out (my parents don't have a fenced in yard).  And, on the ride home, his space was a little limited due to all the gifts we had to bring back.  He was just too cute not to photograph :)

We now have almost everything ready.  I plan to do a little more organizing this coming weekend.  My mom is coming out in early October and we are going to make the crib skirt, do a few returns at Buy Buy Baby, and purchase the rest of the items on the registry we need.  We're getting there! :)
