A Weekend Away!

Last weekend my dear friend Leah and I started a great new Tradition!
We meet half way in between our homes in Indianapolis
for a child free over night-er! She left her 3 kids with her super-man of a husband and I left Brooklyn with my Incredible Man. (Who informed me that they were going to have a blast without me, so not to worry - I didn't)

It was so much FUN!!
We shared lots of laughs - like when we realized that we booked a hotel which doubles as an active train station. As we were checking in, the person at the desk nonchalantly said to the lady ahead of us, "Just so you know, this is a working train station, so if you feel rumbling or hear the trains in the night, that is why" Just try to imagine the look we gave eachother when we heard that one! This is the view outside our room door:

It was still incredibly relaxing and revitalizing as we were able to do a lot of catching up without interruptions every 3 seconds - which is how it always is when we talk on the phone. Leah and I talked for hours on end and could talk for days on end if we had the time!
We swam in the pool and talked, sat in the hot tub and talked, ate at restaurants and talked, went shopping and talked and walked a bit in down town and Talked.
Leah gave me some make-up tips along with a little eye-brow shaping help (more Laughs!). I gave her a Reflexology treatment.
I wish I had some photos of the two of us, but I'm having some battery issues.
A Big Thanks! to our most fabulous husbands for talking care of the kiddies and helping us to rekindle our individuality!

That is too funny about the train station. Glad you had a good time. Girl time is a necessary thing for a happy life.

Couldn't be happier that you gals managed to create such an experience together!

Your mom and Leah's mom (ME)did some fabulous rendezvous and talked, talked, talked. Wish we'd done it when you were little tikes.

Love,
Your Godmother

You lucky lucky lucky dog! I can totally relate to the talking and talking and talking and talking when alone with girlfriends. It's so therapeutic and a great refill!!
I am so glad you were able to do that and I hope you can keep it up.

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...
