Vacation: Day 1

So, I guess the word "vacation" is a little deceiving...I didn't actually travel anywhere, but I am blessed enough to be able to take an extra long weekend from work (sort of), and I am trying to enjoy every minute of it.  I only worked 3 days this week, but I feel like I worked about 12.  Yesterday (Wednesday) was the absolute worst.  I had some VERY important paper work that I needed to take with me to Jackson, but, being the moron I am, I left home without it.  I didn't realize it until I had already gotten ALL THE WAY to Jackson.  Darnit!  So, I had to drive BACK to my house, pick up the paperwork, drive BACK to Jackson, work with all my clients, and drive BACK home to Memphis at the end of the day.  Let's just say that I won't be forgetting anymore paperwork anytime soon.

This morning, I was actually able to sleep in, which I haven't been able to do in forever.  Then, I just chilled out and was lazy until it was time to go to the doctor for another check-up.  I am 33 weeks today, so it was the last appointment before I start going every week.  (AH!!  Grayson's almost here!!!)  Anyway, again, my doctor said that everything is perfect...thank goodness!  And, the other great news is that Grayson is no longer breech!!!  YAY Grayson!!!  There is still a chance that he will flip back over, but the doctor seemed encouraged that he was head down for now.  Whew!  What a relief!  I feel totally and completely unprepared in terms of having things ready for him.  BUT, I am blessed to have a few more showers in the weeks ahead, so I figure I will be able to have a better grasp on things after I talk to my friends about what I need to get and all that good stuff.  Also, my friend, Amber, has been so thoughtful to lend Grayson some items...THANK YOU, Amber!!!!  We owe you big time!!

The rest of the day, I relaxed some more, and then David and I did some shopping and went out to eat.  I know that a lot of people say that they married their best friend, but David truly is the best friend I have ever had.  We had SO much fun tonight just spending time with each other.  :)  And, I think Grayson enjoyed the fact that we ate at Hooter's for dinner...he was kicking, squirming, and punching the whole time!  HA!

I do want to make sure I note that we are soooooooooooooooo very thankful that David's mom got good news today that we have been praying for.  I don't want to go into too much detail (just because it's personal), but I will say that a situation that could have been devastating has turned out to be wonderful!  Gammie, we are so so so so grateful that you are okay!!!! :)

David is working on the pool right now (we needed to add some chlorine and stuff to it), so hopefully I will be able to spend some time in it this weekend.  I absolutely cannot wait, especially since I haven't been able to enjoy it the past couple of weeks, like I had hoped.  If all goes well, I can take a dip tomorrow and get some much needed sun.  YAY for vacation!!! :)

As always, we love you all!!!

P.S.  A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sister-in-law, Karen.  Hope it was a wonderfully fabulous day!!!
