5 on Friday

1. You don't realize how valuable your free time is until you don't have it. I am loving my free time right now.

2. Tomorrow is my sister's baby shower. So this week has been dedicated to planning it and getting everything ready. A lot to do in one week. But I am loving every minute of it. I think it is coming together nicely and I just have a few more things to do on my afternoon off. The theme is a little blue/tan giraffe. I will post pictures later.

3. Ellie and I had a Mommy & Daughter trip to the mall on Wednesday after work. Complete with Ellie getting some new items (a swimsuit or two) and Mommy getting some new items (shirts). We topped it off with dinner at Jimmy Johns... my favorite! I hadn't been to the mall in a long time. I have missed it (although I don't know if Nick has missed me going there).

4. I had been studying over lunch for the past 5 months. I really missed being able to run errands over lunch, so this week has been bliss and I feel like I have accomplished so much.

5. Ellie's faces are hilarious. We have started taking pictures of them and Nick hopes to put together a blog series displaying the various faces of Ellie. The kid has expressions.
