THE BEST!
The drive up was L O N G! 4 hours L O N G, but totally worth it. Plus I had Breaking Dawn on CD to listen to so it was not all bad. When I arrived we hugged, chatted, oohhed and awwwed over Sullivan's room (thats the name they picked for their little one) and headed out the door to see Eclipse with her friend Morgan. After the movie we went back to her place and enjoyed pizza with Steve.
Andrea and Steve were married in March of 2009 and even though I have known Steve sense HS it was really nice to spend some time with them as a couple to get to know not just him but them together so much better. Really great people!
On Saturday Andrea I went to IKEA and I think we looked at every inch and corner of that store, but it was really fun. She helped me with jars for my pantry cabinet (that seems to be a forever long process) and I helped her find some fantastic baskets and hooks for the little guy's room. Did I mention how much I love IKEA? LOVE! We were EXHAUSTED after all that shopping and both decided a nap was in order. That night we decided to stay in and watch a movie. Leap Year with Amy Adams...um it was OK. Cute, but predictable...which is totally what I expected but still really wanted to see it. Steve went to the store and bought junk food for the viewing which was an ideal night in my opinion. Steve really took care of Andrea and I all weekend and it brought back all the memories of what its like being pregnant with the special treatment. Except I think that is just who Steve is...total score for Andrea!
Sunday we all got up and they took me to this really cute restaurant for breakfast and it was delicious! After that it was time for me to head back on the road for that L O N G 4 hour L O N G drive back to my family.
Before I show you the pictures (I did not take very many) I just want to say that this weekend was long over due. I love the comfort I feel around Andrea and I really wish we were a tad closer. I was pleasantly surprised that I had the same feelings with Steve around. Never did I ever feel uncomfortable to be around them and in fact I loved it. If we can not be 9 again laughing until our guts hurt well then this was 2nd best.
Alright enough of the loved dovey stuff. Here are the pictures...
Here is Andrea and Steve on their wedding day. I had to post this because I did not get one single picture of them together from the front. What was I thinking?!?
On our way to breakfast...see this is the only picture I have of them together. 
The skyline coming into St Paul
The Hospital where Sullivan will be born. Its right around the corner from their house.
Andrea and I at breakfast
Steve at breakfast...the news was SHOCKING! 
Lastly I was able to get to know Jameson their incredibly smart and sweet dog. He was such a cuddle butt and actually slept with me at night. I really love Jameson and I think we bonded over late night TV. Look at this lovey puppy....he is so soft.
Thanks Steve and Andrea for the fun weekend. I missed Steve's coffee this morning...that guy can brew a Cup O Joe!
