Anniversary Weekend

This last weekend Adam & I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. Wahoo! to stick with tradition we took the long memorial day weekend as a mini vacation up to the Sun Mountain Lodge just outside Winthrop, Wa. It was great! we were out in the middle of nowhere washington at a fantastic resort. as tradition also dictates the first few hours there were spent napping which is officially my favorite thing to do, followed closely by eating.

On Saturday we explored the town of Winthrop a bit. we ate breakfast at a place called the Duck Brand, which came highly recommend by our friends Chris & Melanie. the great thing was I got 2 giant blueberry pancakes for $4. you cant beat that. I thought I was full after that but then we say the sweet shop and they had just pulled fresh cinnamon rolls out of the oven so I had to get one of those as well. so good!! luckily after all of this eating we went on a hike around the resort which was very pretty. at the end of the trail we were on there were a couple young deer that I did not want to mess with so we waited a few minutes to pass until they moved on. You never know if there are angry deer so I did not want to chance it. The highlight of the day was our anniversary spa treatments. 3 hours in a spa will do wonders for anybody! I would be happy to do that again right now!

On Sunday we went on a Cowboy Dinner. We saddled up some horses at the stables and then followed in a line to an old homestead that is on the resort property where they had a surprising delicious BBQ dinner ready for use. The highlight was the baked beans, so good. turns out it is a secret recipe of on of the cowboys and it is very well protected. Adam's horse was Herbie and he was bothering my horse Dot. Herbie kept on getting into Dots business,if you know what I mean, and Dot was not having any of it. So Dot and I had to have some words with the boys. But over all this was a great why to end our weekend the weather was great and on the way back to the stables there was a great little rainbow in the distance. to make it all the better the minute we got back to our room there was a big rain storm that lasted the rest of the night. All in all is was a great relaxing weekend.

Baby Update: I am 12 weeks along now closing in on the Second Trimester and nothing has really changed other than some of my pants don't fit unless I have the top button undone. So if you see me walking around pulling up my pants that is why :-) I have also increased my love of elastic waist pants, namely my workout pants or pajamas. When I feel I have to wear those all the time in public I know that it is time to go to the maternity store and get some real pants.

according to different sources the baby is about the size of a lime or an egg now. I swear I feel some kicking around in there every once in awhile but everything I have ready says that it is a little early for that. It might just be gas:-) I think I might be one of the lucky few who do not get morning sickness (score!) The biggest things to come up so far is revisiting puberty with pimples. Everyday a new little vistor on my face. I am a grown women for goodness sake! but that seems to be clearing up. I also get more headaches than I have ever gotten which sucks but nothing that I can work through at the moment.

We have our next Doc appt in a couple weeks so hopefully we will have some fun information.
