Life with an angel baby: A Girl's Weekend

This past weekend was the first getaway I have had since our overnighter in Bismarck that turned into an ER visit and a D&C in January. Needless to say I was a little nervous about leaving Seth and Aiden and just my house in general, but i knew it would be good for me. This is a trip that was planned by my family after Amelia passed away, so everyone was getting together for me and I felt so loved by all of them. It was my mom, my aunts Cindy, Susie, and Lisa, my cousin Sarah, and my 2 close friends Brittney and Catherine. I left on Friday and picked up Catherine and Brittney in Bismarck and our road trip adventure began. We followed my aunts and mom in Seth's Raptor that he let me drive, I say let because he is very attached to his new pickup! We stopped in Jamestown and got gas and of course go some TCBY yogurt and hit the road in the Raptor again. We stopped again in Fargo to pick up my other aunt and sat and visited at her house for a little while and then got on the road to Detroit Lakes, MN. We got to our hotel and the wine drinking began and then we all got hungry and went to dinner and drank more wine. Mom, Catherine and I stayed up until about 3 am and then Catherine and I layed in bed until 4 giggling about who knows what, I say that because we both drank a bottle of wine so I seriously don't remember what! The next morning I woke up at 7:30, I never get up that early, and ate some breakfast and took a Motrin because my head hurt a little, big surprise. Then Catherine and I went for our pedicures and they were great. We got done with that and then Brittney and I went downtown DL for some shopping, well not a whole lot, but it was fun just hanging out, it had been WAY too long! We then headed back to the hotel because we had massage appointments to get to and didn't want to miss. Catherine and I tried to steam shower, but I just don't like to so we just sat and hung out waiting for our appointments. My massage was amazing and so relaxing, and of course Amelia came up and I told her story to the massage therapist who started crying. I tend to have that affect on people when I share Amelia's story, she was so sweet and I hope next year she can do my massage again! After our massages we headed back to the room to get ready for going out, tonight was Zorbaz! It was a fun evening just visiting with everyone and talking about our spa day. We drank more wine when we got back to the hotel, but I called it a night way earlier then Friday. I was fricking tired, I am not used to only 3 1/2 hours of sleep! We got up the next morning and got ready for our 6 hour trip home. Catherine, Brittney and I hit the road again, jammin in the Raptor and of course another yogurt stop was in order. This time it was Tutti Frutti in Fargo! I got home at about 5 and was so happy to see my boys I missed them like crazy, I honestly think the dog was most excited to see me! I had a fabulous time and feel so lucky that I have such an incredible family and friends that would take a weekend out of their busy lives and take a trip like this. We have decided to make this trip an annual thing and I thought that sounded like a great idea, I just hope on next years trip I will be pregnant!
