Kim's visit

Kim flew into town a week ago today. The kids were super stoked. We live about 40 minutes from the airport but it is an easy drive. Didn't get into a whole lot but I did get my soccer bottles done because I had her extra hands available. Thursday we had Jack's soccer game which is always amusing. Kim kept the kids Friday night so Eric and I could go out for our anniversary. Saturday, We went down town and walked around. It is a nice place but could use a few cooler stores. Eric took the two older kids to the race and with the little ones in bed we had good time to visit. Sunday came and I apparently can't add and subtract time because I dropped her off at the airport a little over 2 hours early. She never pointed that out as I said "see I told you I would have you here an HOUR early". She made it home safely. It is so nice to have such a wonderful best friend that will take off work to come to my house to visit and to keep the kids so Eric and could have an anniversary date. It was a great visit. I have the best bestie ever! :) Here are a few pictures from our excursion around town. Note: Kim will not allow me to take very many pictures of her.




On a side note:
I feel like I should add Dental Technician to my "what I am" list in my Mother's day blog. I realized it fit as I was doing the nightly brushing and flossing of three sets of teeth.
Another side note:
I have never doubted that my husband cared about me but when it comes time for gifts he has a hard time. Usually because he waits until the last minute and either buys flowers or something really expensive to make up for having not thought of something I would enjoy. However, this Mother's Day and anniversary I was bombarded with gift certificates for manicures, pedicures, waxing, tanning, facials, massages, and a tropical vacation with ONLY my husband. (looking for babysitters while Eric and I vacation if anyone wants to volunteer) putting all that together I finally asked Eric if he was trying to tell me something. Do I look that unkept? His response, "No I just thought all of those things would make you feel better about yourself. I just want you to feel good and be happy. I think your beautiful just the way you are." Obviously this is in response to my post-baby body complaints. :)Yes, my husband is the best.
