Weekend Getaway

A couple weekends ago Will and I took off for Branson, Missouri. We left out Saturday morning and came back on Sunday evening.  Also Logan and Mandy (Will's brother and wife) were in Branson.  So Saturday we met them for some retail therapy at the Outlet malls and then headed out to dinner.

 I am so upset that I didn't take any pictures but these two.  Sorry Logan and Mandy!  After dinner we headed to the race track - go carts that is.  We had a blast!  Although the seatbelt rubbed the threads on my shirt and ruined it.  

Sunday Will and I did a little more shopping, some putt putt and eating.  It was a great little getaway and we plan on doing it again soon.

Visiting

My great, wonderful friend Leah came up to spend a few days last week.  Main objective - Get Ashley a wedding dress!  Leah was a college roommate for a few years, one of my best friends, and also a bridesmaid in our wedding.  

I was so excited for her to get here!  It seems like everytime we plan to get together something happens....Snow storm, Poor Alex gets sick (Leah's son), Leah gets sick, I get sick, and so on. But this time it worked and she got here on Wednesday.  

We went and toured the location where we are getting married after she got here.  Thursday was full of dress shopping and we found the ONE!!  I love it!!  I cooked two wonderful dinners (insert big grin here) and enjoyed getting to catch up with my friend.

Here are some pictures from our adventures -
