Best moment of this week: *NOTE-The trips to and from WV were pretty miserable with rain and traffic on the way to WV. Add in some swelling and it was terrible. It was better weather and traffic wise on the way back to TN but it was still miserable with having to stop so often and swelling* We went to WV from Friday-Wednesday of my spring break! It was jam packed with fun and events, too! I had the most beautiful baby shower thrown by my mom, sister-in-law, best childhood friends, church family and family! It perfectly shabby chic! I'll write a whole other post just about the shower. We got to go out to eat Saturday night with my dad's side of the family for birthday celebrations at Fazio's Italian Restaurant! It was amazing! We got to go to my home church on Sunday, brought out all the baby gifts to organize with mom on Sunday afternoon, went to a community group from church with mom and dad, went shopping with my besties, Kelly, Brittany and Kelly's sweet girl, Brylee! Got to see mom at work and see her co-workers, had an amazing Ultrasound, ate at Taste of Asia, had a relaxing day at home with Derek and then we went out to lunch and saw my cousin and aunt! We had dinner at Graziano's Pizza place with my family and cousin and uncle! The rest of spring break when we got back was all about unpacking the things that would fit in our SUV for Olivia, running errands, seeing friends, celebrating my hubby's 30th birthday with friends and family!
