Girl's Weekend!!!

This past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to send the kids, and Marcus, to grandma's house and get away. I had never been away from my kids for more than overnight before and I was REALLY nervous to go, but I'm really glad I did. We had a really great time!! Before we moved to Oregon, we lived in a little town close to Lamar University where Marcus was in school....the girls that I went with were my friends from those times. We've stayed in touch, and pretty close, and we have a lot of fun together. There were supposed to be 4 of us, but the fourth had to back out due to a family situation...we missed her greatly!!! But we tore up San Antonio!!! Here are some great pictures, at least the ones I'm allowed to share....teehee!! ;)


This is my friend Abby driving the first leg of the trip.

This is my friend Mandy...these are my crazy friends, just wait.

The second day of our trip we went to Schlitterbahn...they were waiting in line for cotton candy!

This is just us being silly in the elevator. What dorks!

The third day we went to the Alamo...but they wouldn't let us into the basement!!! Punks!



This was our outing to Market Square to eat at MiTiera's...and it was goooooood. I can't fit it in, my mouth isn't big enough....hahaha!!This was on the ride back to the hotel on the trolly. I'm sure the driver thought we were nuts. Abby is really hard core, can't you tell?Since we had no kids, we were acting like kids. Look how much air she got!!The last night of "freedom". Cheese!!

Sad thing is that when you are pregnant, it looks exactly like that picture of you and a pillow up your shirt. Well, that is not sad for you but for me. It looks like a pillow is up my shirt and down my shorts.

You lucky girl getting away from the kids! I'm never going to get away. I keep having more.
