A weekend away

This past weekend was different, to say the least! John Michael's best friend from high school and college, Nick, got married, and he was the best man in his wedding! He got married in Atlanta, and when they announced the date a little over a year ago, we decided it would be a good weekend away, just the two of us. So we did it! I almost chickened out at the last minute and wanted to take Addie, but we ended up going alone and had a great time. We definitely missed her like CRAZY, but it was a nice adult weekend. And the funny thing was that most of the bridal party was away from their kids for the first time, so we kept each other occupied very well!

It was so much fun to see our friends and to catch up! I had a few teary moments, but nothing a phone call to my parents to check on Addie couldn't take care of! The hotel where we stayed (and where the reception was) was very nice - the Evergreen Resort in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Our room had a balcony overlooking the lake - it was beautiful! We would definitely go back again. And of course, Nick and Christie's wedding was beautiful too! We really enjoyed seeing them and spending time with them, and also John Michael's other roommate, Alan, and his wife Cindy. Cindy and I enjoyed our Saturday (while the boys were doing wedding stuff) by getting pedicures at the hotel spa! See? I told you we stayed busy to keep our minds off missing the babies (their son Jacob is 17 months old)!!

Early Sunday morning, we met my college best friend, Kendall, and her boyfriend Brayden, for breakfast. It was so great to see her - it has been over 2 years since we last saw each other, and we are trying to get better at staying in touch!

Addie had a blast with her grandparents (she stayed with my parents Friday night and John Michael's parents on Saturday night). She was definitely well on her way to being spoiled and made sure we knew it by testing her limits with us Sunday evening at home :) She was thrilled to see us though, and was not happy about me leaving the room even for a second that evening! It was amazing to see how much better she had gotten with her walking, even in two days!

It will definitely be a long while before I'm ready for a weekend away again. But we're excited, because we're all going to Florida at the end of this month with my parents! YAY! You'll see in the pictures from this weekend that the sun will be good for me... :)

Yeah, yeah, I know I'm pale...

And I just realized that's the only really good picture I took this weekend! I'll get more from Cindy and post them later...
