Best Weekend Ever…

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! I took a 4 day blogging break and it was wonderful! But now I’m back and have to catch you all up on my weekend. I also received a few blogging awards from some of you…I promise I didn’t forget and will have those posts up soon!
As you know, my good friend from college, Katie came to visit me from Washington! We had a blast during our short time together. It was so great to finally get to catch up on life with her. We went to see Eclipse….and it was amazing! Defiantly the best Twilight movie yet!

Me with my ticket and the movie poster. I think I totally embarrassed Katie with my picture snapping!

Katie with her ticket outside of the IMAX theater. IMAX was great but it took us a while to adjust to the huge screen. Katie, I know you read this blog…I miss you already!

After Katie left the husband and I went to Detroit to visit our good friends Mo and Ali and go to a Tigers game! The game was pretty boring at first but it picked up. We lucked out and the weather wasn’t too hot to handle. And believe me, I get cranky when I’m over heated…just ask the husband.

Game time!

Me and Ali. Ali has a great selection of Tigers gear…they have season tickets so she needs something cute to wear to all of those games!

The husband and Mo…being goofy.

I heart him.

Mo and Ali, I heart them too.

All four of us after the game. The Tigers won!

After the game they had a fireworks show…so fun! We spent the rest of the weekend with Mo and Ali and they took great care of us. It was like we were on vacation…we actually slept in one day until 10:00! I can’t remember the last time that happened. The next day Ali and I went to see Sex & the City 2 (cute, but not as good as the first) and did some major shopping while the boys played a zillion rounds of golf. Then we all went out to dinner and watched some more fireworks. Of course I forgot to take pictures!

Thanks for a great weekend Mo and Ali! And thanks to my sister-in-law, Erin, for watching our boys while we were gone!
