The Weekend is Over

Happy Monday! I really am starting to try to learn to love Mondays, but it is hard after a great weekend. I have come down with a nasty cold and cough so I spent a majority of the weekend just resting up for this coming week. I have quite the collection of medicines to help with anything imaginable. I am feeling somewhat better today, which I am happy about. Peter and I went wedding registry shopping for our good friends who are getting married in December. We headed to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and printed out their 28-page registry...and I thought Peter and I had a lot of gifts we wanted:) We ended up finding a couple great things for them, but we could not leave the store without finding some things that we wanted as well. We left with a new bed set, another picture to add to my shoe picture collection in our bedroom, a new shower curtain, and some other random things that we found. That store is very enticing with all the little gadgets that just scream 'you have to have me to make your house complete'. We made about 3 trips to Target this past weekend to start getting a few Christmas gifts for our nephew and my brother. I can't believe that Christmas is right around the corner!

Peter and I are heading to Michigan next Wednesday. We are flying out of Roanoke and heading to GR. We are excited to see our family and friends that we have not seen in a while. The last time everyone was 'together' was at our wedding almost 6 months ago. I don't even count that as a family get together because of how busy and preoccupied everyone was. There was no time for relaxation until it was all said and done. Peter has not been home with me to Michigan since Spring Break of my Junior year, which was about 3 years ago. I remember that week like it was yesterday. We had only been dating about two months prior to that and I wanted to bring him home to meet my family. I ended up taking on the task of the 12 hour drive with Kristin Wolfe and another friend, Scott. We were pretty smashed in the car with all our luggage and snacks to carry us out through the night drive. We switched drivers a couple times here and there, but eventually made it around 7 AM to our final destination. That week was full of Peter and I getting to know each other better and my family being able to interact with him as well. I knew that he was the one that I was going to marry that week. He was everything and more that I had ever dreamed of in a man and still never ceases to amaze me even today. I am so thankful and blessed to be married to a man like him.
Anyway, I am going to head to lunch with my husband now. The work day is almost over than we are headed to our dance classes tonight:)
