Eloping, loss of a baby and other vents....

This weekend I found out about a college friend's loss.  Her 3 month old son passed away unexpectedly.  I instantly started bawling, since the news hits so close to home.  She was due the day before me, and we both had beautiful little boys.  I spend my weekend having nightmares about losing Aaden, but I also tried to enjoy every moment with my handsome little man!

We also found out Aaron's brother, Andrew eloped (to North Dakota?!) on Friday.  The family is pretty upset.  The newlyweds still want to have a full church wedding and reception, they just didn't want to wait to "be together."  Aaron's really disappointed in the fact that his brother doesn't want him in his wedding since he would have to "leave Aaden and I to eat alone."  Lame excuse in my opinion.  He was Aaron's best man, and now Aaron's not even in his brother's wedding?  Their other brother, Aric is.  And Andrew doesn't have many friends, so the other attendants are her family. I have very strong feelings about this girl he married, their rush to marry and their choices.  I know it's not my place, but I can't help but have an opinion.  Hence, this blog to vent.  Sorry.  Now let's not get started on their finances and desire to have kids ASAP....

We spent some time shopping on Saturday and I met a girlfriend for breakfast on Sunday. 

Pretty low-key weekend, except for the news above. 

Aaden and Eli, new BFF's

On January 12^th, Aaron, Aaden and I went to visit our friends!  I haven’t seen Abby since last January, when she was only 16 weeks pregnant.  Now we were able to visit them in their new condo in Stillwater.  Their home was beautiful, but not as cute as their little guy, Eli.   It was so fun to see Abby and Ken, and to watch the boys start to interact. 



Looking at this, you'd never know we were holding each other's kids.  Funny how both boys look more like thier Dad's.



This weekend I met a porn star.

Yes, and I was stupid enough to not take many photos.  Darn.  But I have 9 other individuals that can swear by it.

We were in Vegas this weekend!  I had a leadership conference on Friday and Saturday, and while it was a quick trip (Friday-Sunday), it was FUN.  It was the AVN's (Adult Video Network Awards) and I was there with the construction company I work for (um, tons of guys drooling over the porn stars).  We found our way to the casino bar at the Hard Rock Casino on the night of the award show (at Hard Rock).  It was interesting meeting Neil, Ed and some other female porn stars.  I don't think I've ever laughed so hard!


This weekend we rode in a limo

I stood up and yelled out the window while driving around Vegas.


Met some CRAZY characters at the bar near the AVN award show

Drank wayy to much

Took part in an awesome leadership training with other coworkers. 

Got to meet about 90 other employees from throughout the U.S.  It was really nice to put a face with a name. :-)

Was really glad to get home and snuggle my little man!  He had fun with Grandma and Grandpa though.

Took Monday off to not only recover from Vegas, cuddle and spend time with my little guy, but also relax since it was my Birthday!!!
