Beginning of the End

That's what it sure feels like right now.  This upcoming weekend marks the beginning of the madness that is the countdown to Garrett and I leaving for Las Vegas and also to my sister's wedding. There is nothing major going on this upcoming weekend, but it still feels like the beginning of crazy. Garrett has to work over night Saturday night and Sunday night and rather than tiptoeing all around the house both days while he sleeps, I'm going to my parents' house for some quality family time! Cindy will be home on Spring Break and wants to have a margarita (or several) and just pretend we are at the beach. Mom wants to bring the beach chairs inside so we really think we are there! I am pretty pumped for an afternoon/day of silliness with my mom and sisters. (While the cat is away, the mice will play...aka Dad will be in Rolla for St. Pat's!) Now if only we can all make it through the work week/school week for Cindy and its game on! 

The last few weekends have been fun! Two weekends ago, I went to a bridal shower for one of Garrett's med school friends who is marrying on of his undergrad friends. It was a Pancakes and Panties theme, however, there were no pancakes. Hm. Interesting. We had a good time! After that Garrett and I played some disc golf (gosh that sounds snooty) Garrett had Monday off, so I took a vacation day and we got some things done around the house and then played in the afternoon. (That may have been when we played disc golf...can't remember now) Last weekend, we had fish fry on Friday night! Om nom nom! Seriously! Can't get enough!  Then Saturday night, we did our second (not really annual) Suit Up night. We went to Club 360 at the Hyatt in Downtown St. Louis. What a cool place! You basically have a 360 degree view of the city. In the picture below is the Busch Stadium view. We also took a picture with the Arch in the background but it was on another friend's camera so I have to wait for that one. It was a bit chilly out Saturday night but they had the fires going. As you can see, it was also a bit windy that night as well. My hair was flying everywhere!

The boys were looking pretty sharp Saturday night. And only Garrett and I are looking at the camera, and whatever Ted and Ryan were talking about must have been super intense based on facial expressions! Lol! Actually, Garrett is being a bit creepy! Gosh, we have picture issues. We really had a good time! After the bar, we went back to our places for a few more (already paid for) drinks. There will be a quite a few drinks that are the stay home kind of drinks in the weekends to come as we are stockpiling for Vegas! 

I've started to put together shower gifts for all of the various showers that are coming up! Lara's first two showers are in a week and a half, so I really better get my butt in gear! I am doing a practice round tonight/tomorrow for the cake and I have made the list of things I still  need to do. Garrett being so busy with this ER rotation is definitely allowing me to get a lot done.  

Ready to dive into the next few weeks here! Many fun and exciting events happening! 

Bridal showers, baby showers, marathon weekend, and then the big move! Crazy! I'm hoping to bombard ya'll with pictures in the next few weeks! Get ready!

Until Next Time! 

Lots of Love!!
