Man, this weekend has been busy! I find it hard to regroup when the weekend has been hectic, but I am trying my best to prepare myself for the work week ahead. If you are wondering about the 30 day blog challenge I will get back to that later. I haven't had a regular post in awhile and feel the need to do some updating :)

Rough week at work, we were really short handed toward the end of the week and that just made everything really stressful. I made it through, only to start a busy busy weekend.

Friday night we just relaxed at home because Mark and I were both just wore out, and we needed some rest and relaxation. Saturday I woke up really early to do some shopping. It was a really good coupon week for me and I had to hit Harris Teeter, Kroger, Lowes Foods and Walgreens for coupon shopping. As always with coupons things don't work out, but for the most part it was pretty good. I also had to stop at Target to pick a few things up. After all the grocery shopping I had to stop by a local shop that carries super cute gifts. I wanted to pick up something special for Amanda since she had Kayleigh Friday. I ended up getting her a Davinci bracelet with a few charms and beads...it was so cute! I figured it would be something that she could always treasure and add other charms later :)

Saturday evening we were off to Megan's birthday party. We had a wonderful time, a yummy dinner, dancing and spending time with good friends. I was exhausted by the end of the night...my age is starting to tell on me (LOL) I was surprised I could walk this morning when I woke up, but my legs weren't too sore :) I hope Megan had the best birthday week, turning 21 is a BIG milestone and I hope she enjoyed every minute of it!!!

Today I was excited to go out to the hospital to see Amanda and baby Kayleigh. I have been waiting all weekend to go see her and the new addition to the Rutledge family.


...and here she is sweet beautiful baby Kayleigh!!!

I stayed at the hospital for about 3 1/2 hours. Chatting, holding baby Kayleigh and watching all her little faces. She is so precious! I am so happy for them, and can't wait to watch Kayleigh grow :) I am not quiet ready for babies yet, but I can't wait for the day Mark and I can bring home our little bundle of joy. Ahh, yes we are growing up. From running the road, clubs and late nights we have progressed to marriage, mortgages and babies (at least for Amanda). I can't believe how much our lives have changed over the past 5 years...it is unbelievable!!!

Well that's it for now... I have to enjoy my last few minutes of the weekend :) Hope everyone has a great week!
