Back at the homestead

So I am back working from home. I drove up to LA on Friday, Monday and Tuesday. I had it by Wednesday. I set my computer back up at home--oh I forgot to mention that I was carting around my desktop back and forth. THAT topic is a discussion for another day. Anyway..back at home to where my life is no longer in danger. I got to witness a rear end accident on the way into work last Friday. The accident occurred a little too close to my car for comfort. For all of you who have to commute. I empathise so much. I understand commutes are all relative to where you live and if it sucks for you, I feel your pain.

I am excited for the weekend. No beach yoga this weekend. Darn! We don't have many plans or rather any plans. E has to work his normal double shift. I am sure I will find some trouble to get into on my own. Next weekend, I am heading to Chicago for my good friend's shower and bachelorette. I also FINALLY get to meet my niece. I will for sure have pictures to post.

***I am going private this weekend*** Please send me your email if you would like to continue hearing about our lives.

Here are some pictures of E's recent visit to meet Raelyn. I head out there in August to meet her. Can't wait!

cocktails and baby fever

There are 17 of us that are still friends from college. We all keep in touch via an email list serve and try to see each other as much as we possibly can. Most reside in IL and Ohio,however, there are a few us out in WA, CA, GA and NY. We all converged on Hilton Head Island for M and B's wedding weekend.

There are two places that I go with these friends which never are a relaxing vacation--Vegas and Hilton Head. In fact these are two places that I need a vacation from the vacation. All us girls ever seem to do is drink and lay out in the sun. This last trip to HH was no different except we had 5 new babies and 2 more on the way!!!

Friday was a great beach day and we all indulged in the various fruity drinks from the Tiki Hut. Saturday--another great beach day. Indulged in drinks from frosty frogs and yummy champagne ( we had a little wedding shower picnic on the beach). Saturday night we celebrated with the beach bride to be and danced into the wee hours in the morning listening to a phish cover band.
Sunday was the beach wedding for M and B. It was a lovely wedding! Everyone was in great spirits. The bride was the happiest bride on earth that day!

After holding, playing, cooing with all the little babies this weekend--It has happened I have caught baby fever. I realize however E and I need to wait a little longer before baby fever can become baby making.

I finally have slept off my 4 day weekend hangover. Ready for this weekend for another chance at relaxing. My MIL will be in town and her and E will be heading to Chicago on Sunday to see little Rae Rae. Unfortunately with my schedule, I can't go until the first weeeknd in August. We will see if baby fever becomes contagious.

Niece

My little niece is making her way into the world today! I can't wait to hear when she has finally made her entrance! E is about ready to hop the next southwest flight to Chicago to go meet little Raelyn.

I can't wait to see how he reacts when he meets this little girl. The Robbins' boys stand no chance when beautiful girls are in the room.
