Another weekend down, is it Friday again yet?

The good news is that I was able to pick up some paint for the baby's room this weekend. The even better news is that we had a surprise visit from Nate! The bad news is that because of that we didn't get any painting done. Really, I'd rather have Nate here then paint any day, so it was very worth it!
He called us on Friday night and said he decided to pop in for the weekend and would be here in an hour. Thankfully, our super great friends were very understanding when we had to ditch the plans we had with them for that evening! Since these surprise visits have now become a regular occurrence every 2-3 months, I'm no longer surprised when he randomly calls to tell us he'll be here in a few hours. It was so great to catch up on life with this friend that we love so much. I just love the friendships where you can always pick up where you left off even when there's a few states separating you.
Nate's a huge hockey fan, so was super excited to go ice skating. Unfortunately, for him, it was a beautiful day, so the ice was kind of slushy. Fortunately, for me, it was a beautiful day and it made it impossible for anything to ruin my good mood.
I met up with the girls on Saturday and was able to get my Babies R' Us registry done...yeah! I didn't even cry or get completely overwhelmed once, so it was a very successful trip! For some reason I'm not much of a fan of Babies R' Us, since every time I go there I get overwhelmed with all the millions of baby items and feel like I will be a complete failure as a mother. So, needless to say, I was very relieved that this was a happy trip with no freak out occurrences!

Plans are already in the making for painting day to resume next Saturday! Sarah S and I are gonna have a girls day out and head to Milwaukee to check out some outlet malls and shop for maternity clothes - which I am in desperate need of. Meanwhile, Steve and Nich will paint the baby's room. Sounds like a perfect plan to me!
