date night, girls night, pot holes, and fever

We spent last weekend in Memphis. Surprise surprise. Chris and I ended up having a date night on Friday which isn't typical but well needed. I love spending time with our friends and rarely pass on an opportunity to be with them but it is nice to be alone with my husband every now and again. Especially with August around the corner, we need more nights alone. Hopefully we'll be heading to St. Louis soon for a Cardinals game and a weekend away.

Saturday night was spent with some great girls. I went to Tina's bridal shower. I can't express how excited that her and Dave are getting married. I've been friends with David for more than a decade and its so nice to see him with such a great girl. I'm a sucker for weddings and love them. Even better, I'm not a bridesmaid or the bride. So I get to be stress free and watch two people say their vows then have myself a drink at the reception. Haha. Well after the shower Tina, Kellie, Trisha, and I took Tina to a bar for a couple of drinks. It was such a blast. I definitely can't get enough time with my girlfriends. I'm lucky to have such good ones. Just wish I could have seen a couple more girlfriends that I missed this weekend.

We left Sunday night and 10 minutes into our drive we hit a huge pot hole. We saw a couple cars pulled over afterwards with blown tires. We were concerned so we kept checking our tire pressure gauge. It would go down then go back up. We got home thankfully. But the rim was bent pretty bad and was causing a slow leak. We had to order a new rim and that was $400. Price gouging is ridiculous. I'm just glad we were all ok.

Sunday night was also the start of Ava's fever. That was the only symptom she had but she was pretty miserable. Last night was the worst. She got up to 104 degrees. I gave her Tylenol then put her in a luke warm bath. But because she was so hot the bath felt cold to her. She screamed and cried. I felt so bad. But I dried her off and put her into bed with me. Today she woke up like nothing happened. The fever broke and I guess she's all better. Only now my throat hurts... story of my life. haha.
