Easter weekend and more SURPRISES!

last week was such a lazy and exhausting week. I had a difficult time posting and i did try. this weekend totally flipped things around... and i look ahead to a VERY busy week and weekend ahead.

I took yesterday off to drive home from an EXCELLENT Easter weekend. Matt got lucky and had the day off on friday since the markets were closed and we got a head start. We got in around 4 on friday and got to hangout with my parents and sister the whole night. And we at Thai that was soooo good! Saturday afternoon i had plans go visit my best friend's apartment for a lunch date around noon. I almost didnt get showered, i threw on some clothes and grabbed a bottle of wine to share for a relaxing afternoon. When i arrived....

ANOTHER SURPRISE!! This time, a surprise WEDDING SHOWER PARTY!!!! And both sides of my family were there, my cousin who i havent seen a couple years, J and A drove up from cinci, and so did Matt's mom and my future sister-in-law. I was SOOOOO touched!!!!

5 of the 7 Bridesmaids!! YAY!! LOVE THEM!

The Fab 4-- and longest friends! E and C are my non-blood sisters and this could not have taken place with out them. They are so precious and wonderful!

Showers are a little embarrassing, and the whole time i was worried if people were having an OK time. I was also relieved that i took the 4 minutes to at least shower that morning. I am just so lucky!

The rest of the weekend just flew by-- Easter was a total haze, so much driving and eating and running around. Saw both sides of the family and that was nice, but i think my stomach hurts from all the chocolate and buttery/fatty foods i ate. Plus i havent been sleeping all that well the past few nights. I hoping that will change. I have a busy week coming up, lots of birthdays this week and plans for everyone. Plus writing TONS of thank you notes will take up lots of time. But i hear it's suppose to warm up! Summer is coming!
