The Long Weekend

This weekend has been incredible and I am super bummed that it's over and it's back to another week or work. 

Our weekend really kicked off last Wednesday, when we had a surprise 75th birthday party for my Grandpa at Crave in Edina. 

Then, Thursday night was a Bridal Shower for my brother's fiance Tate. 
my little sister and soon-to-be sister-in-law, the shower was fiesta themed which explains the sombrero. 

Early Friday my husby left me for the weekend to go to Chicago for a basketball tournament. So I had the whole weekend to myself. 

I left work on Friday afternoon and immediately went to the gym to meet my best friend who is a personal trainer/yoga instructor/zumba teacher/model extraordinaire. She knows I've been struggling with accepting the weight gain that comes with pregnancy, so she made me a prenatal workout routine that I can do over lunch and also handle throughout my pregnancy. 

After the gym I met my family for dinner because my Aunt was in town from Colorado. It was so great seeing everyone and catching up. 
Who's 4 months pregnant? Me or my Uncle John? BAHAHA! 

The rest of the weekend included the following....
 I treated myself to some yummy coffee, spent the afternoon with my brother and grandma, ran errands, got a mani/pedi, had dinner with my mom and step-dad, went to church and got coffee with my mom, spent 4 hours by the pool with my buddy Robyn, ate an insane amount of fruit (I'm on a serious mango kick), walked the puggle, cleaned the house and watched hours of Giuliana & Bill. 

It. Was. Fabulous. 

Jason made it home safely late Sunday night so he was able to join me and my family at the Twins game on Monday. 
On our way to Target Field (with my sister and hubby)

The Beeb and her hubby Jake were also at the game, so obviously it became one big party. 

 Perfect day for baseball. 

My husby <3

 The Beeb & Jake

 Me & Jake. 

 My girls. 

Mama and Steve. 

After the game with hit up Crave downtown for some cocktails....or mocktails for me. 
I might be pregnant, but I'm still fancy. 

After the game we went over to my dad's house for a grilled turkey, corn on the cobb, mashed potatoes and stuffing---leave it to my family to have Thanksgiving dinner on Memorial Day. :)

The weekend ended with me laying on a heating pad, watching The Bachelorette and writing this post. 

Perfection.
