On My Own for the Weekend

This weekend Matt went to Washington with all of his siblings to celebrate their Dad's 60th Birthday. It was a total surprise that not even his mom knew about. From what I heard, it went really well and Matt's parents were so surprised. All the kids in Matt's family haven't been together just them in a really long time so it was a really good thing for them. I am glad that he got to have so much fun being with his family and not have to worry about school, me, or anything else. So, with Matt gone I was left alone to find a way to have a fun weekend without him. The longest we have ever been apart was one night when he went to the Vegas Bowl last year. This time it was two nights and three days so I had a lot of time to fill on my own. I FINALLY used my gift cards to Tai Pan that I have had since our wedding and got some really cute stuff for our house. I volunteered myself to babysit for my siblings children. Becca totally took me up on it and I had her two kids (Taylor, 3 and Ashley, 1 1/2) on Friday night, over night while they went out for their anniversary, and part of Saturday morning. I also had Allie, Kristin's 1 year old little girl Friday night until about 7 pm, so...it was pretty hectic. All I will say is that it was plenty birth control to curb my baby hunger. Really though, the kids were good just a little too much for me and I think I'd rather have them one at a time. Power to all you moms who have more than one child. That's tough! On Saturday I was able to go to the BYU football game with my dad, Kasey, Doug, and Taylor. It was a lot of fun, FREEZING, but really fun. My dad has great tickets from being involved with the Cougar House and before each game and at half time we get to go eat in the tent behind the stadium. The food is good and the desserts are even better. FOUR chocolate fountains...FOUR. It is awesome and of course, I eat way too much and feel so sick afterwards. We had a great time though. Saturday night, I helped my mom get some things done because she wasn't feeling well (My mom had a hysterectomy last Monday and is still recovering.) so I ran the errands for her. All in all it's been a great weekend. Not the same as if Matt were here but I still had a good time. I am very excited to go pick him and Lisa up at the airport tonight. He makes me feel sane and after spending the weekend living at my parents house, I need some sanity :)


Also, this morning I woke up to this:

SNOW already...ugh!
