What a Wonderful Weekend!

Even though Steven ended up working the whole weekend, I had plenty going on to keep me quite busy! Saturday morning, I headed over to Michele's for Joann's surprise party and it was nice catching up with my girlfriends. I haven't seen a lot of them since before Christmas!

Saturday evening, I met up with Bonnie, Anna, Emily, Deb, and Hope for dinner at Champps. Hope is in town from Dallas and it was SO nice to see her. I have missed her so much since she moved to Dallas. We used to meet every morning for coffee at Starbucks and worked together for about 6 years. So many good times with her, we could laugh for hours!

Today, my mom, aunt, grandma, sister and I met at moms to make homemade ravioli. The recipe is my grandma's and of course, she was there to direct us quite well. The ravioli are a lot of work but I am SO glad I learned how to make them. They remind me of my childhood and they are probably my favorite meal. So not healthy but SO, SO, SO good! I have to say, they turned out quite amazing!!

Here are a few pics from the day. Can you tell we were starting to get slap happy? My aunt is giving me the finger and my mom decided to get in on the action as well while my poor pappa is totally clueless! :) This picture makes me totally smile!
Here is a picture of mom's old girl. She was sick all weekend with a collapsed trachea but she is starting to feel better.
Nanna and Auntie Mary:
I love this picture of auntie mary. I think she was looking at some old music that my grandpa had put together long ago. He was a folk singer in Malta. We were able to listen to some but it was pretty scratchy.
And perhaps my favorite picture of all! Here is Sonny girl with a smile on her face! She is so beautiful! Look at that face!
All in all, what a wonderful weekend! Well, as good as it could be without my hubby. I have to admit, I am pretty tired and not at all ready for work tomorrow. The good news is we have an appointment with our travel agent after work to pick up our travel documents for our trip on Saturday! Wahoo!! Can't wait!

Been So Long...

It's been so long since I updated my blog! Not too much is really going on right now. Both Steve and I are real busy with work and life has pretty much settled back to what it was before the pregnancy and the miscarriage. Normalcy is good but there are some days where I am just so sad, I ache. Fortunately, those days are becoming fewer and farther in between and it is getting better.

One thing we are most definitely looking forward to is our trip to Jamaica! We leave a week from tomorrow and we are both just so excited. I can't wait to be in the warmth and the sun and am looking forward to leaving our life behind for a bit. Once we get back, I will update with our pictures since we are both taking our cameras.

Physically, I am completely recovered from the surgery which I am so glad about. Though we'll never forget our little bean, it's definitely time to move on. We are both more than ready. :)
