Showered - overly blessed

This past weekend I traveled back home and was spoiled by not one but two different bridal showers. Seriously. It was crazy. It was tons of people who I haven't seen in a while (soooooo good to see everyone) and to have the chance to catch up a bit. I wish I had more time to catch up with people, but it just wasn't possible in that short of a time. It was fun to be back in SD for sure. I wish I got back there more often - a piece of me wonders if some day we won't end up back in SD, although who knows what will happen. Currently I am still loving northern Minnesota other than the distance from my family.

I LOVE these girls - we have grown up together - they are wonderful

Highlights:

• Hanging out with my Hartj
• taking Dakota to the dog park (even though it was ridiculously snowy)- Brainerd seriously needs one of these
• spending time in South Dakota
• seeing family & friends
• I seriously have the world's best friends and family
• I got to meet two of my new baby cousins that I haven't met before (they are ridiculously cute) and they have mastered the skill of snuggling 
• sooooo many new things 
•  now it's time to go through the old and get rid of what I can and donate what I can
• I now get to send all sorts of thank yous
• I LOVE writting letters and sending snail mail
• hanging out with my parents

Everyone loves to snuggle the new babies
Anna & Jack

Downfalls:

• I don't like knowing that my family is so far away
• My drive on the way down was AWFUL due to the super craptastic weather & took me 3.5 hours longer than normal 
• The weather was less than desirable - who knew in mid April I would have issues with traveling due to weather. This is ridiculous. Spring please come.
• The trip was a whirlwind
• I wish I could have spent a week there
• I didn't get to see quite everyone that I wanted to
