It finally happened this weekend! Our anniversary date had taken a "snow check" back at the beginning of the month as we were getting two feet of snow, and this weekend the plans finally came to life. Wes and I spent the night away by ourselves for the first time since the arrival of sweet girl back in September. And I should say that it was quite the success. We made it to Conway by 6:30 on Friday night, and we all crashed fairly early. Mom and I did some fun shopping on Saturday morning, Wes, Reese, and I made a few visits, and then it was time. Wes and I left for the big city and had an amazing time. We stayed at The Capital Hotel which is a must if you are ever in the area. We checked in and had a few hours until dinner time. I took an extra long bath, got ready slowly, and then we enjoyed a glass of wine at the hotel bar before heading to Brave New Restaurant. What next? Our first movie since September, and good thing I chose the flick. We went to see The King's Speech, and then it won the Oscar for Best Picture the next night. Good planning on my part. And a fabulous movie I might add.
Anywho, we had breakfast at Ashley's the next morning before heading back to see sweet pea. Such a fun reunion! And the fun wasn't over! One of my great friends from high school is having a baby girl in a month, and my mom hosted her shower at our house yesterday afternoon. I absolutely loved getting to catch up with friends I don't get to see nearly enough. So, after a full weekend, we loaded up the car in the typical fashion. A bit more coming back with us than going down on Friday. Mom packed us some frozen meals for this week in a cooler and sent me back with more smocked dresses for Miss Reese to wear now that the weather is turning, some really fun new clothes she had picked up since I had seen her the last time, and dinner to go. What. A. Weekend. I think we need to do this again. SOON.
B-Dubette on Saturday before we left her with Mopsy and Popsy. She was pretty great.
Breakfast at Ashley's at The Capital.
The super cute school themed baby shower. Christin is a first grade teacher at the same elementary school I went to when I was a wee little one. 
I have LOTS of great detailed shots, but I may do a specific post about it later.

I am jealous of your time away with your husband! Good job for making your marriage a priority! Makes me wish my parents lived closer. Will your mom rent out her services? Haha!
The shower looks amazing! You really should post more pictures. :)
Dad and I are ready to keep Miss Sweetpea anytime!!!
I think I need to start a blog to tell about what we did and about how much we loved keeping her!!
Happy Fifth Anniversary!! Love, mom
