Such a Fun Weekend!

This weekend was such a fun weekend! I took off early Friday. I finished up cleaning the house (with the help of my wonderful husband) for the Open House we had today. When we got done we packed up the dogs and our clothes and headed to Pekin for the weekend. We visited my in-laws who were keeping our niece and nephew, Maggie & Hank, for the weekend. We also had a baby shower to attend in Pekin for our good friends Sean & Tiffany. They are expecting their first child in September. Sean went to high school with Jeremy in Pekin and they have been great friends ever since. Sean & Tiff live in Kalamazoo Michigan but Sean's parents still live in Pekin and hosted a wonderful baby shower for the parents to be.
Friday night we got to town and had dinner with The Darnell's and Maggie & Hank. I found out Friday that my cousin Hannah was playing softball in Peoria. Such a small world, we are an hour and a half away from home and attend the game to watch Hannah and they are playing Urbana, a lot of the Urbana kids Jeremy knew from working in the Urbana School District. We took our niece Maggie to the game with us and she has a ball.
Saturday morning I got up and picked Tiff up and her and I and our doggie Lucie and their doggie Gunner went for a nice long walk. We attended Sean & Tiff's baby shower later in the day, only after the guys all went golfing in the morning. We also took the kids to the park to play for a while. We met up with another good friend of Jeremy's, Jim, at the Pekin Boat Club.
Today, Jeremy golfed in an outting with Jim (which they won), while John, Jan, Maggie, Hank and I went to the zoo in Peoria. It was such fun. We ate lunch at the zoo and John took the kids back home so Jan and I could hit a few stores for some retail therapy:)
We and the dogs are pooped and are glad to be home but always enjoy visiting family & friends and getting away for the weekend.
We had an Open House today and we are looking forward to hearing how it went from our realtor. In the perfect world, our house would sell in the next couple of weeks so the closing would be scheduled for around the same time as our new house closing.
This week brings an exciting week for me and Jerm. We will be celebrating our 2nd Wedding Anniversary on Tuesday! Our plans are to go to dinner to Minecci's and go see The Hangover!
Enjoy some pics from our fun weekend!
