Home Sweet Home

Well, my Spring Break is almost over, it's been really wonderful, but I'm anxious to get back to see my fiance. The beginning of my week home was super busy. On Saturday we had my niece's dedication, I went to church and then hung out at Nate and Jenn's for dinner and games. Sunday my mom and sister threw a Bridal Shower for me. It was so fun! I wasn't sure if I'd be home again much before the wedding, so I invited everyone to this shower so there were a ton of people crammed into my parent's house. I loved it. It was so wonderful to see everyone and the food was delicious! Monday I got to spend the day with my niece, Amara... She has changed so much since the last time I was here! She's getting so big so fast! She recognizes me now and gives me lots of smiles and giggles. She even napped on my chest for awhile (I fell asleep too) and it was super sweet. On Tuesday I spent all day with Bryn and Amara. We ran errands and tasted cake at Cup Cake. They only had us try 3 cakes, which wasn't really a good representation of what they had so Bryn ended up buying a dozen just so we could try them :)

On Wednesday I hung out with my mom and then I went over and visited my friend Linnea and her little guy, Caedmon. He's 14 months old now and so much bigger than when I last saw him! (They were out of town last time I was home, so I hadn't seen him since last summer!) It was so good to catch up with them. On Thursday Eben and I went on a brother/sister movie date. I finally got my Shamrock Shake as well! (I've been craving a Shamrock Shake all month, but McDonald's in Alabama doesn't have them! They look at you like you're crazy if you ask for one!!) Today I just chilled mainly. I went for coffee with my mom, aunt and uncle which was really fun. The big news for this trip is that Bobby got the job at Wells Fargo in Shoreview, MN that he's been interviewing for! He starts on April 25th! He'll be making a few dollars more an hour as well which was a HUGE weight off our shoulders. So the plan is for me to move home the first weekend in April and then he'll move here as well two weeks later. I'm very excited for us to finally be able to spend more than one day a week together and to put Birmingham behind me and move forward into the next phase of my life!
