Holy moley have we been busy! Busy with all fun stuff though! April came and went so fast because we were barely here. First, the last week of March we were in Washington DC, then going into April we went to Atlanta, I went to Nashville, and we both ended the month in MN. Besides our travels, Tyler we managed to get a lot of yard work and stuff around the house done. We are excited for this beautiful weather we are having - high 70s-80s - and are excited for a somewhat quieter May. I plan on spending most of it at the beach :)
Finally some beautiful beach weather!
Starting our garden....small this year and big plans for the next
I missed Stacy's baby showers but was able to facetime in for 20 minutes of it! (My mom made that amazing quilt)
We celebrated this guy's birthday by a wonderful date night to Portland Grill
Tyler had planned to attend the MN dental convention in St. Paul and a joint bachelor party for two of his very good college friends the last weekend in April. At my parents' urging, I joined him last minute and was so glad that I did. Although the weather did not welcome us home, it was such a wonderful time with family and friends. I apologize that I was horrible at taking pictures so there aren't very many.
Our flight was late and delayed so we didn't land in MN until 1:30am Wed. morning. Tyler's dad picked him up and Tyler spend Wed. morning with his dad before meeting up with his mom for a lunch and movie date. My sister, Stacy, is off on Wednesdays so she picked me up and we spent Wed. working on the nursery decor. Stacy already had lots of ideas and some supplies so we ran to some stores to pick up everything else we needed and got to work. We found some great frames and also put together a wall collage that we spray painted different colors. Wed. night, I drove up and met Tyler and his family for a pizza night. Doug and Suzanne bought all sorts of different toppings and sauces so we all made different pizzas and tasted each. After everyone left, Doug wanted to play cards so we ended up staying up late for two games of skipbo!
Thursday Tyler was at his convention in St. Paul. I slept in a little, had coffee with Doug, then met my friend, Amelia, for lunch, followed by coffee with Jenny, and another coffee date with Sara. Lots of caffeine for this sleep deprived girl. My little sister and her boyfriend of 6+ years just got engaged so we wanted to see them to celebrate. Since Danielle was studying for finals (PT school), Tyler and I met my parents and D and Aaron at Annie's on the U of M campus for burgers, fries, and milkshakes. Thurs. night we went back to my parents house to watch the end of the wild game. Friday morning my parents prepared a brunch and invited my grandmas over so we could spend some time with them. Then Tyler was off back to his convention and then to have drinks with friends and his brother for his 22nd bday. I enjoyed a quiet afternoon with my mom - a walk and some shopping - and then went back to the cities to meet two of my very favorite friends for dinner at Wakame.
Sat. morning I ran to my sister's house quick to finish spray painting for the nursery. Then it was off to the twins game with my high school friends to support my friend, Britt, and the MS Society. We had drinks and dinner at Pizza Lucce. Tyler was at a bachelor party all day/night and had a blast but did not take any pictures either. Sat. night my sisters both came into town and we stopped by the NP fireman's dance. My dad and uncle both are retired volunteer firemen and my brother has been a volunteer fireman for the past six years. We are very proud of them so wanted to go show our support (and see some more family that was there)!
Sunday morning we were lucky to meet Tyler's grandparents and aunt for brunch at Bonfire in Mankato. Then my parents had a big dinner at their place Sunday for all the April/May birthdays and so we could see everyone.

One sister preggers, the other engaged!
We flew home bright and early Monday morning. Although it is always hard saying our goodbyes, it makes it easier knowing that we will both be back in June and I will be back in July for weddings.
