Remember how I told you in this post that our car got broken into in St. Louis? Yeah, fun times. Myself, my parents, and my sister and her family went to St. Louis for the weekend to celebrate both of my niece’s birthdays. I rode with my parents and J was meeting up with us Sunday morning. We had a great day Saturday filled with a trip to the zoo, swimming at the hotel pool, and dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Sunday we checked out of our hotel and headed to the City Museum.

Currently
Currently I Am: Listening: To the tv and the dishwasher…and the baby monitor (hopefully he stays asleep). Loving: That my bestie is in town and I get to meet her sweet new baby girl. Drinking: Water. Although I can’t wait for margaritas with my friend Alissa later this week. Reading: The Pioneer Woman’s blog. Wearing: A t-shirt and pajama pants. It’s almost bedtime. Thinking about: All the house projects I want to finish, including painting the master bedroom and bath. Feeling: Ready for bed. Eating: Nothin. Wondering if: I’m lame because I want to go to bed at 9:00pm. Realizing: Our baby will be 2 months old tomorrow. Sob.
