Hubs decided a few weeks ago that he was going to head to the lake for a final fling for the Fourth of July. I told him to have at it and get to it, because kiddo will be here before we know it, and everyone keeps telling us that our lives are going to change in a way we cannot imagine.
Not about to be seen anywhere near a bathing suit, I opted to stay home for the holiday weekend. Jen was gracious enough to offer to drive up from Big D to join me. After lunch at Saturn Grill, we spent the day shopping–an activity I rarely have the time to enjoy. She needed a new suit, so we headed to CK & Co, where I drooled over Tory Burch shoes and dresses that I can’t wear anymore. Jen bought a darling brown and polka dotted wash and wear dress for work. I was a little jealous.
After that, we sojourned to the camera store so I could pick up a new lens. Thinking it would take thirty minutes and a lesson in how to attach a new lens, I hauled in my camera. However, five minutes later I was out the door, new lens (and some kind of filter for it) in hand. From there, we headed to Children’s Orchard–I want to see if I can find a used jogging stroller. No used jogging strollers this round. After that, we decided to check out Sprink Creek Village. I’ve never been there, but I heard about a cute store called Marcy and Abby. Jen agreed with me that it was darling, but again, I can’t fit into any of that stuff right now. Fortunately, there was a maternity wear store across the way, and I found a generic dress and a fun top there. To wrap things up, we finished our excursion in Target–Jen helped me register for a few more things. Two pizzas, two dog toys, and a few ingredients for cookie dough later, we headed home to watch Confessions of a Shopaholic. Cute movie. Again, can’t wear any of those clothes. Will be so happy to not be pregnant in a few months!
To commemorate the day, here is Jen, posing for me as I try out the new lens. It was dusk, but you can’t tell. The flash is on (I used auto setting), but I think the photo is pretty decent for just a point and shoot. I can’t wait to see what other photos will look like with this new lens.
Happy Fourth of July, ya’ll!
