labor day weekend.

We're coming to the close of a fantastic Labor Day weekend. Chris and I had a great time in Tucson with our families. He had an exam (his second one of the semester) on Friday, and the minute it was over we all booked it home to Tucson for some family time. My dad came back from his 8 week course in Alabama on Thursday and spent a few days with us in Phoenix before we all headed home. We were super excited to show him the house and it was nice being able to spend some time together.

I committed a most terrible sin by forgetting my camera this weekend. I botched photo ops for Josh's Saturday football game (beat the Broncos 18 - 6!!!!), hanging out with the the in-laws, and a barbecue with the family today. I'm still kicking myself for it. Hopefully, we won't be in such a rush next time and I'll remember to grab it.

Despite our lack of pictures to prove it, we had such a relaxing and wonderful weekend here in Tucson and hope to have some friends from town join us next weekend in Phoenix for a birthday sleepover weekend. Christian's birthday is Monday (September 13th) and he's turning 24! Which means he gets to be older than me for three months (which, unfortunately, also means our wedding is rapidly approaching as we're getting married three weeks before my 24th birthday.)

We decided that in order to get a few serious wedding things done, I would stay in Tucson for a few extra days and my mom will bring me back up to Phoenix when we're done. So I'm sitting here on my couch relaxing and digesting this SERIOUS food baby while my poor honey is probably in the neighborhood of Casa Grande, driving back to our house in Phoenix. I wish we had more time to do some of these wedding things together, but I'm glad Christian trusts my judgement and will be a phone call away.

I hope our plants didn't die while we were gone.

I hope everyone else enjoyed their Labor Day weekend and is ready to get back to the grind tomorrow. I wish I had a grind to return to! (my unemployed sorry-for-myself moment of the day)

Love,
Ash
