Last day of Stay-cay

Tonight is my last day of my "staycation". I was able to take last weekend off of work, in order to be in a friends wedding, and coincidentally have had 8 days off in a row. Unfortunately the stay-cay started off with me getting my period, which Ryan and I were hoping wouldn't come for another 9 months or so. However, we've resolved that a baby will come some time, and that at least we're now better able to plan our trip to visit Gabe and Ana in Hawaii.
The weekend portion of the stay-cay was nice. Our friends Matt and Rachel got married, and I got my bridesmaid dress hemmed at around 2am the night before the wedding. It wasn't perfect, but no one seemed to notice, and the wedding was beautiful. I'm happy for the newly weds, and was glad that the weather held out for them.
On Saturday, we met up with some of my old college friends who had a bachelor/bachelorette party at a Brewers game. Ryan and I went, had a good time, and were thankful to have family in town to watch Melodie for the day. It was nice to have some "alone"/date time together.
Sunday was also nice, after church and Ryan finishing his finals we headed out for some "Young-style" camping. We met up with Ryan's parents at their campsite, let Melodie get nice and dirty, made some orange cakes and drove home to sleep in our own beds and take our own showers while his parent's "roughed" it in their pop-up. We ended up going back for the whole day today, and had a great time. I was so impressed with Melodie. We set up the Jeep as her personal pack-n-play, leaving all the windows open. She took one really good nap, but then got too excited about her "new bed", and wouldn't go down after that. But she was a trooper and didn't get fussy until we were getting ready to leave and packing up. What a little champ! Our three-a-day napper only took one and woke up an hour early, and was nothing but a delight the whole day. I got some pretty funny pictures of her on my phone that I need to post, but I'll save that for a time when I'm not so tired.
After dropping my sister-in-law off at her place we got home, and Melodie was still awake, so I threw her in the tub for a quick bath. She thought it was pretty cool. When I brought her upstairs for bed she shocked me by...gasp...CUDDLING with me! I ate it up and we cuddled for about fifteen minutes before she starting pointing at things in her room/wanting to get down and play. (I think she was a little delirious!) Finally I was able to catch up on my all to over due blog before headed back for three in a row tomorrow.
