We had a very fun, productive and busy weekend this weekend. Friday I spent all night visiting with my family for game night. We might be the newest lovers of Scrabble. My cousin Heather might actually need to be admitted into Scrabblers Anonymous sometime soon. Do you think she has a problem when she stays up until 2:30am playing scrabble-on a week night? One word cuz- D.O.R.E. It was a doubley (yes, its a word) fun night because my newly-moved to the east coast cousins Adam and Angela came and hung out as well. Their inspiring story- were just recently married, having lived in Denver for a few years they were bored. They have been talking on and off for a few years about moving to VA (but we were doubters). Sure enough, an email in January announced they would be quitting their jobs, packing up the house, and just moving across country in hopes to find jobs and two weeks later- WELCOME TO VA! Ahh! We all couldn't be happier to have them close. Within a week of them arriving to the beach, they both got the jobs they wanted and now live less than a mile from the beach! Jea.lous!
Saturday, I went clothes shopping with my mother in law for my birthday while Mike played some golf with friends. Got my first maternity clothes! Not much a bump yet, actually its still quite non-existant thanks to morning sickness making me lose pounds instead of gain them... My OB has warned me to expect that to drastically change as soon as the sickness subsides-so I'm now prepared thanks to Ellen :) Note to other preggos- Old Navy has some CUTE clothes (also note goes to non-preggos!). I hadn't shopped there in years, but it was worth the trip. Most everything I got is wearable now and will stretch as I stretch (yuck). Look at one of my new dresses that I've been living in since I got it! This is more so for you T :)
Then, FINALLY after counting down for weeks, Saturday night the Giant and I went out to dinner with our dear friends Johnny and Christi from NoVa. Christi is exactly 5 weeks farther along than me in her pregnancy and is one of those perfectly beautiful preggers! I'm so glad I have someone to go through all this with me, fyi. We went to Gordon Biersch which is usually a top pick of Mike's but it was a little off Saturday night for me. Maybe that's just the pregnancy taste buds effecting EVERYTHING i eat. We thought it would be a good place for the boys to grab a good beer while Christi and I caught up, but oops Johnny gave up drinking for lent. So, Mikey suffered through a cold one on his own- poor boy ;) As always (though we always wish there were more times to count) we had a blast out!
And, to round off the weekend- Sunday- TIME CHANGE! Who knew? We sure didn't! Skipped church because of the waking confusion-oops. Sunday was Mike's brother Greg's birthday. We celebrated by all going to the movies Sunday afternoon, different movies of course, but at least we were all in the same theatre (Happy Birthday Greg). We saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D!
It gets a thumbs up from me! I've never seen a 3D movie before but I really enjoyed it. I was afraid that 3D motion + surprise attacks of morning sickness = not happy Molly, but I was wrong thank heavens. Johnny Depp was his usually unusual self as the Mad Hatter. I definitely say its a theatre movie and not a wait until you can watch it at home movie only because the 3D was worth it. Usually, I wait for movies to come out on DVD but this one is not a DVD movie, I don't think. Of course, the Giant reminded me yesterday that I am no Roger Ebert and I tend to have horrible theatre picks when its left up to me. My last theatre pick was Nights in Rodanthe- cute movie I drug Mike too, but definitely could have waited to see it at home. That would be the last time I was allowed to pick on my own.
Anyways, how was your weekend?! Any fun weekend St. Patty's Day stories to share with a preggo not allowed to go out and drink green beer this year?
