Labor Day Weekend Getaway

This Labor Day weekend we decided we would head down to Missouri and stay with the Burgins. We didn't get our things packed the night before so we didn't even leave until 6pm...putting us at their house almost at midnight. We probably would've gotten there sooner if it weren't for the many rest stop breaks we had to take. I've discovered that I now get SUPER uncomfortable in the car when I'm traveling. My body gets all stiff and achy and then when we finally do stop I can barely stand up because I'm so stiff. Needless to say this will probably be our last long road trip before our little guy arrives. Despite the uncomfortable drive down there I'm SO glad we went! On Saturday Teri and I headed out to Springfield on a hunt for a rocking chair. We literally shopped until we dropped! We were lucky to find the perfect chair that both of us loved so much that we will probably have matching chairs. We had a great time! We made it home just in time to have dinner and watch the BYU game. It was fun to see BYU pull out a win against OU. (I'm ok with cheering for BYU just as long as they aren't playing the Utes.) Sunday night we played a little mormon bridge and it was shocking to me that I didn't come in last. Mormon bridge is a big deal on the Price side of the family. Last year I played it at Bear Lake with the entire Price family (which is a lot of people!) in a huge competition where everyone played. It was pretty intense stuff! They all have been raised playing this game and are pros. I pretty much came in last every game, but it was still a good time. This time I think I came in 3rd or 4th so maybe I'm improving. Then on Monday Teri and I did some more shopping for baby stuff and found some good sales while Chad and the boys rode the four wheelers. It was hard to leave and come back to real life after such a fun weekend, but it was great to be able to spend some time with family. We did take our camera with us but I never pulled it out of the bag to snap some pictures while we were there. So sorry for the lack of pictures...I'll try to be better next time.

I took a 4.5 hour car ride two weeks ago. I don't blame you for not wanting to take a prego road trip again!

What a great way to spend the holiday! Don't you just hate how quickly the good times fly?!? You look so cute with your prego belly... enjoy it while it lasts... it will be over before you know it!
P.S. Your cinnamon rolls looks scrumptious!
