What a weekend!

We had quite the weekend and it is continuing to be a very stressful and busy week! My brother, Justin, came home for a couple weeks on leave from the Navy. My family and some friends all decided it would be fun to go tubing and do a camping weekend. Our original plan was to just stay in my parents camper. Somehow the thought process turned into us wanting a camper, needed a cement slab, and of course a bigger car one day. We made a quick trip to Cedar Rapids two weeks ago and day dreamed of new campers. Then we came home and day dreamed of new cars. To my surprise we went to test drive a car and see if we would like something along those lines and came home with a tahoe! Not what we had exactly planned, but it was a great deal! So then we decided to pull Andrew's parents camper up to camp with. Day two of our camping adventure I lock the keys in camper, WITH NO SPARE! I cried for over an hour! This was my first real emotional episode of being pregnant. I was so mad and upset with myself. I could not stop crying for anything! It was one of those moments where the tears just well up and roll down with out any emotion behind them, they just kept rolling. We finally got into the camper and things were good. Then day three, on our way home, something in the tire broke! SERIOUSLY! This was not our weekend. We had to make a pit a stop at my parents, pull it apart (with much thanks to Jim), and then head back home to meet Andrew's dad for drop off. We felt horrible. I believe we learned that we either need to get our own camper or maybe we just don't need one at all! We finally get home form the crazy weekend and its 90 degrees in house and the thermostat is broken! We are calling it one ROUGH weekend! This week has been crazy, busy, and stressful too! We are both preparing for school to start and it seems to have just rushed up on us. Andrew as gotten back into "school mode" where he is getting up earlier and I have fully taken on the Assistant Director position and time is crunching on making sure things are in order. Needless to say Braylon's room has been put on stand still. :( I am really hoping to do it Sunday because I am getting anxious to now what it will look like! I hope you all had a much better weekend than we did!

First off ----- it's totally the camper and not you guys. That crazy thing is jinxed I think. Take comfort in knowing you're not the only one it tends to act up with. :)

Second ---- just a thought and completely up to you but what about us helping to paint Braylon's room on Saturday? We'll be there and I'd love to feel useful.
