Weekending in Numbers

Happy Monday and a belated Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!

MG and I are back from a long wedding/Mom's weekend out of town and I figured it would be fun to recap it in numbers, so here goes...

12: the number of hours spent in the car between Thursday evening and Sunday evening

700+: the number of miles driven this weekend. VA to PA, PA to NY, NY to PA, and PA to VA. 

13+: the number of road trip snaps that were taken

1: gorgeous blow out that made it possible to have pretty hair despite some drizzly weather for the wedding

55: the number of minutes that we stood during our friend's wedding because the priest forgot to tell people to sit down (no joke)

12+: the number of pictures taken outside during the cocktail hour because the weather had finally stopped being super crummy

10: the number of people at our table at our friend's wedding reception

1: the number of tissues I needed during the father-daughter dance. I totally didn't think about it before the wedding, so it really caught me off guard with the memories that it brought back for me

4ish: the number of glasses of wine and/or champagne that were drank during the cocktail hour and wedding

1: friend's heel that accidentally stabbed my middle toe while dancing, creating a gash and a pretty decent bruise which I'm still sporting today (and probably will be for a few weeks)

2: the time in the morning that MG and I made it to bed after the wedding and the after-party

(4: the number of tired eyes in that photo haha)

20+: the number of face swaps that occurred between everyone at our table during the wedding reception--most people hadn't ever seen it before so it was a huge hit (and absolute hilarity--if you were following on Snapchat, you saw some of it!)

15: the number of stores visited over the weekend (between the outlets by the wedding, and then the shopping by my in-law's house)

3: the number of pairs of shoes purchased between MG and I (he had one pair, I had two)

(the boat shoes are even cuter on than they are in this photo and the running shoes are SO comfy!)

11: the number of Super Heroes (I think) in the Captain America: Civil War movie that we saw in 3-D with my in-laws on Saturday night. It was good, and really entertaining!

2: the number of awesome moms I have, and got to say Happy Mother's Day to on Sunday morning (we celebrated with my mom last weekend and with my MIL this weekend)

7+: the number of nose licks that I got from Cooper on Sunday morning

14: the number of people at brunch for Mother's Day-6 kids and 8 adults (one not pictured)

(the "rejects" picture we take every time my SIL's and MG take family photos with their parents)

1: the number of bloody mary's that I drank at brunch

007: my Mother-in-law's drink of choice at brunch

4: the number of words my one sister-in-law said to me when she gave a Mother's Day gift to me and my other SIL (Vera Bradley beach towels in our favorite colors for when we all go to the shore). When I said "but I'm not a mom" she said "But you will be." Love her.

180: the number of minutes spent listening to Podcasts in the car this weekend (How Stuff Works is a great series if you're looking for new ones)

6: the number of baby announcements over the weekend

3: the number of sweet friends who reached out to let me know they were thinking about me on Mother's Day

Luckily we had some gorgeous weather for Mother's Day--it was the first day that didn't have clouds or rain in at least 10 days, so I'm glad it was special for a special day!

The weekend was a LOT of fun despite all of the hours spent in the car. Our friend's wedding was gorgeous even with some less than stellar weather in the morning, and it was a lot of fun spending it with a big group of friends, despite not being in Aruba. And all of the family time was awesome, too, as always. 

As much as I'd love to take a big long nap today to recover from all the fun, I'm back at work for another short week since I have a work conference on Friday in Baltimore. 

Hoping your weekend was filled with love and fun, too!
