Vacation wrap up

Well the end of my vacation this week turned out to be very nice, as was the beginning. so all in all I'll call it a success.

Sarah came down to St. Louis this weekend and we had a great time taking in some sights, relaxing by the community pool and just getting some time to have true girl talk with no interruptions or short time frames. It was wonderful! :-) Somehow I managed to not take any pictures this weekend except those of our beautifully manicured toes. Odd - I know, but I've never had a picture painted on my toes before so I was a bit excited. (See photos below - pic #1 is Sarah and #2 is me.) But I promise we did more than that, including the Anheuser-Busch Brewery tour and visiting 2 out of 3 of the Man vs Food challenge stops. And while it was primarily a girls' weekend, we did let Ryan join us for some of the activities. I was really glad Ryan and Sarah were finally able to spend a little more time together and get to know one another better.



In other news, the before-mentioned house problem seems to be resolving, though we still have a kink or two to work out. Ryan and I spent most of the afternoon today window shopping for home repair items and getting ideas for furniture and decorating. We're both getting really excited and can't believe that our close date is less than 2 weeks away.
Tuesday seems to have fully recovered from her stomach issues earlier this week and is back to her normal self. And Irie is still irie. I found her a new sweatshirt that I love at one of the stores we were at today so she had to try it on for us tonight.


And tomorrow I go back to work. But never fear - I still have more than a full week of vacation that needs to be used by the end of June!
