Bike Riding And In-Laws

What a weekend! We had a GREAT weekend… it started out with bike riding and lunch by the beach and ended with a spontaneous trip to visit family! We woke up Saturday morning after sleeping in to our hearts content and then got dressed, put my bike in the car, and drove over the bridge to the best beach in town. My bike needed a tune up so we took it to the store I bought it from and asked if we could drop it off after riding around, then rented a bike for hubs and we were in business. We biked through the town and neighborhoods for a hour or so and then I was over this whole “riding for fun” thing and we dropped off both bikes and walked to a little outdoor seating café and split an egg scramble for brunch. Delicious! The weather was even cooperative and it was warm and sunny all day. We have finally left june/july gloom behind. After our most glorious expedition into the outside world we returned home and called his parents to chat about nothing. They informed us they were at a party only an hour and a half from us (instead of the usual 4 hours) and that we should come up. After regretfully denying we hung up and then thought about and talked through actually going, sour of the moment. The pros outweighed the cons and after dinner we packed an over night bag and drove up to stay with them for the night in their hotel. After seeing them I feel so blessed to have amazing inlaws that I love to spend time with. We loved seeing them and staying up half the night watching Bridesmaids. Then spending all Sunday with them going shopping and eating lunch. I found a dress and shoes for my friend wedding on Saturday in about 20 minutes while shopping and got both for 16$. I love sales! The hardest part of the weekend was keeping our secret. “What.. you mean you didn’t tell them!?” Yup, mum’s still the word. A. It was Lisa’s due date, and B. we have it all planned out for the 31^st. I wore a pleated poofy dress that hid the bump and life was good. Leaving was sad. I wanted to stay and secretly move in with them, but their house is full and we had church class to make it back for. I took a much needed relaxing bath Sunday night, and passed out at 10. I woke up today and hit the mall to buy my friend’s wedding present, got some bath balls from LUSH (hiiiiighly recommend!!!) and 3 maternity tops! Agh. Its starting again. I just put a whole load in the washer so I can wear them.

In other news, my sister-in-laws due date was Saturday and this baby is currently still cooking. And she thought he’d be on time. Ahahhahaa.
