Highs and Lows

thought I might do an update post of sorts- but with highs and lows of our trip and my birthday.

Highs:

• Stopping several times on the way up to Michigan. Twice at zoos, and once over night in a hotel.
• Spending awesome time with my family.
• Going to a wedding with E, with just Zeke, and it almost felt like a date!
• I had a perfect margarita at said wedding reception. ah. So. yummy!
• I got a chance to visit with one of my cousins. Its always wonderful to catch up with her. I love family!
• Seeing my baby brother.
• Going to some garage sales with my parents. Fun times, indeed!
• I was SO good! At church, at the wedding and reception, with my parents, etc.
• Getting a $30 hr long massage from someone who goes to my parent's church. Awesome!
• Walking along the Detroit river. Its nice to be around water. :)
• Opening birthday gifts from my parents and brother. I got a waffle maker, a griddle, and sheets. I see some breakfast making in my future.
• My MIL rode back to Alabama with us (she hitched a ride up a few days before us). She got to be the referee instead of me!
• My birthday yesterday was wonderful. E brought home a chocolate cake from Costco, diet coke, and flowers. *swoon* he knows the way to my heart.
• Opening my gifts from my IL's. A gift card to Clarks to buy some new shoes! woot!
• Zeke has been sleeping so well since we got back.

Lows:

• O getting sick, coughing like crazy, and almost having to take her to urgent care for ear pain.
• I'm still sick. Going on almost 2 weeks.
• Getting very little sleep due to little mister sleeping on my chest all night, almost every night.
• A didn't nap well, and was very sleep deprived. He doesn't handle sleep-deprived well.
• The trip seemed so short. I hate that.
• I already miss my parents.
• Zeke cried almost the entire way home on Tuesday. Fun times were NOT had by all.
• I gained weight on my trip. Ugh.
• I started my period yesterday. First one since having I. On my birthday. Kind of sucks.
• I'm 28. I know its not "old", but it feels old to think that I graduated from high school 10 years ago.

Well, that concludes this past week's highs and lows. Thankfully, I thought of a lot more highs than lows. I like weeks like that. :)
