Thankfully, Howard could bring his sweet wife Emily down to see us. We had been waiting such a long time to get to spend time with them. I have only met her once before, a year along, for less then 48 hours. I have texted, facebooked and spoken with her on the phone a bit, but I was thrilled to spend some actual in person time with her. They arrived in AZ on Wednesday May 23rd and stayed until Sunday morning. As soon as I heard they had made it to my Aunt Judy's house where they were staying, I packed up my family and rushed over.
The whole weekend we tried to hang out with the newlyweds as often as we could. Gram naturally has a pretty strict sleep schedule and he won't eat anywhere but in a familiar dark room, so our time together was a little less than I'd hoped for. The life of a new mama I suppose. Thursday we hung out at Aunt Judy's to visit and swim. Friday Gram and I met up with them at Nordstrom Rack and then we went to Chandler mall. You'd be surprised how much you can learn about someone by shopping with them. After Gram was down for the night, we got to have them over Friday night for a little pizza and a movie date night. That only made me seriously wish we lived closer. I'd love to double date with them, they are so much fun! Saturday they took us out to lunch at Sweet Cakes Cafe in downtown Mesa. Later that afternoon, Tami babysat Gram for me so I could meet up with them at Scottsdale mall. We spent most of our time at H&M, Forever 21 and the Vans store. Emily is so fun to shop with since we have similar styles. Sunday morning my family went over to say goodbye to our new sister, brother, and cousin Sheri. Aunt Judy made everyone breakfast and we just chatted and played with the dogs. It was so sad to say goodbye because I haven't got to spend much time with Howard since he moved to Utah. We see him every six months or so. Now we have an other family member we love and adore who we will miss just as much! They are awesome people and a verrry cute couple.
