This weekend we took a little weekend road trip to Palm Desert. We had the pleasure of attending the wedding of Steve and Tara, two friends of ours. It was a beautiful wedding and we had an amazing weekend spent with great friends. We spent some time poolside and bought Olivia her first swimsuit and she had her first swim as well! She seemed to like it until a child jumped into the pool next to her and she got splashed. Then she didn't like it so much.
Special thanks to Lucas' mom who was kind enough to drive out on Saturday morning to spend time with and watch Liv so we could go to the wedding that night. We really appreciated it and I know Liv did too!
We had a lazy Friday afternoon/evening when we arrived in the desert. A bunch of our friends were staying at the hotel across the street so we went to the cocktail hour with them followed by a massive Target trip for bottled water, diet soda, bathing suits for mom and baby, a clutch for the wedding, and snacks for the hotel room among other things. Managed to find a chic one-piece and sheer cover-up that didn't make me feel frumpy or over-exposed. I'm just not ready (or confident enough) to get back into my bikinis.
Saturday evening was the wedding and boy, was it gorgeous. It took place at the Miramonte Resort and Spa in Indian Wells. Steve looked dapper in his suit and Tara looked phenomenal in her strapless dress. As usual, I cried during the ceremony, especially when they read their vows to each other. However, we did have some amusing commentary from our friend Todd which served as fodder for the rest of the night ("College rule!"). We had beautiful weather and enjoyed a fun reception outside under the stars. Then it was party time and party we did until after 2AM. Yes, we paid for it the next day but it was worth it!
On Easter Sunday we headed back home, slightly hungover but filled with stories and inside jokes from the weekend. Once we got home we enjoyed a quiet evening that included a nap, pizza (no fuss!), and Celebrity Apprentice. But really, how cute does Olivia look in her Easter dress and bunny hat?! What a weekend!
Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Guden! Thank you so much for inviting us!
Also, do I really have to go back to school tomorrow?
