Houston Weekend...


Brian and I drove down to Houston this weekend (Thurs night) to spend some much-needed time with the family. Apart from marking the 17th week of my pregnancy, Thursday was also my step-dad, Paul's birthday. So, Happy Birthday, Paul!
That night we made the mistake of trying to sleep on an air mattress with two dogs (who happen to both have long, sharp nails). Anyway, Brian sent me to the couch, and he ended up on a deflated air mattress (which means, he ended up on the floor).
P.S. not Brian in the picture below...random one from the internet that I found funny.

Friday morning Brian, my mom, Paul, and I all went for breakfast, then Brian and I took off for his Aunt Donna's house. We had a wonderful time visiting with Donna, grandma, grandpa, and Cameron. All too soon, it seemed, the visit was over. Hopefully we'll get the chance to see them all again soon. We were both exhausted (having not slept well the night before) so we rented a room at La Quinta (they take dogs). We slept a little better that night, but I think we were both too exhausted to actually get a good night's sleep.
Saturday we spent with his kids and then with my mom. I miss my mom...wish she lived here. Anyway, she took me maternity clothes shopping and I got some really cute stuff. (Thanks mom). Brian and I also had to buy jackets because it was in the 30s and we brought t-shirts (we should probably check the weather forecast next time).
Sunday we slept a little late, had a great brunch and then spent a little more time with my mom before heading back home. It was a great weekend followed by a wonderful night's rest in our own bed. Man, it was hard to get out of it this morning for work. I needed one more day so I could lay around and be lazy. Stupid working for a living...who's up for some lottery tickets?
