Mommy Time

My mom came to visit this weekend. She arrived on Friday evening and left this afternoon (Sunday). It was really fun to have her around. We had a VERY busy Saturday with breakfast with Suzanne first (Mike's mom) and then we went to visit the wedding site together. After the site visit, we dropped Mike's mom off and headed over to David's bridal in San Marcos to look for MOB outfits. Their selection was horrible, so we left there pretty quickly and headed out to look at hotels in the area. (I think we're going to set up a block of rooms at the Hampton Inn that's about 3 miles from the wedding site.) Then we had lunch, headed down to Macy's to do bridal registry stuff, and then back up to San Marcos to look at a possible townhouse for Mike and I to rent (well, Mike would move in now and I would move in August). Then is was back down to Mike's place to let Mandy out and relax for 30 minutes and the off to church. we finished the night with dinner with Jen Wahl at her hotel in Rancho Bernardo (she just happened to be down this weekend). We made it home around 10:30p after leaving that morning at 8a! It was a crazy day but I feel like we got a lot accomplished. Today, Sunday, we got up a little later and then headed over to the Alfred Angelo store for Mom to try on outfits. (She found one!) And I put on my gown for her to see too! it was fun. I know what kind of shoe I want now and may even be able to wear something I already own. We'll see! :)

It was so great to spend so much time with my mom. It made the wedding process real for both of us. It was so much fun! I wish she lived closer so that we could do more of this, but it was still a fun weekend. I'm going to go take a nap or at least lie down and read my book. :) I think I need the rest after the craziness!
