girls weekend..

The weather is going to be sunny and warm in Cincinnati this weekend and it's perfect timing for a girls weekend. I'm picking up my girlfriend that currently lives in Long Island, tonight from the airport. Tomorrow other friends from Chicago and Minneapolis arrive. Ted's watching Elle tomorrow tonight and us girls have dinner reservations at a trendy Mexican restaurant. 

Saturday, I'll have all of the girls over for Wine and food and we'll play with Elle. Ted's heading back to MI to attend a baptism class and Sunday he gets to attend Aydan's 1st hockey game. 

Looking forward to being in the warm sun and enjoying my Cincinnati friends that have since left and moved on to bigger and better things.....

This week has been going by pretty fast. Elle is adjusting to her new life with the nanny for the next 3 weeks until Gramma Close arrives. She had a great day today and took her bottles without tears. Work has been really good and I'm glad to be back. Seeing Elle for the first time after work is worth the wait! 

This weekend will be a good one. It will be filled with friends and hopefully a lot of fun and laughter but Mom and Dad are always in my thoughts and the sadness will always be there. I haven't accepted that their both gone, but I have accepted this is my new life and I have to deal with it as best as possible. I just think of how happy I would be if they were here. I really would then have the best life ever-I'd be complete. But would I have ever realized it? 

Love always,
