My Weekend in Iowa....

....was fabulous!! I got up to Iowa on Friday evening and got to spend some time with my brother and his fiance Bailey, which included dinner at Texas Roadhouse- YUM! JJ was also very adamant that we were going to have a bonfire at my dad's house, so several of us met up at my dad's and had one. It was great to see a lot of people that I have not seen in awhile. Unfortunately, since my normal bedtime ranges anywhere from 8:30 to 10:00, the whole staying up until 1:00 in the morning thing was a slight struggle. So...I went and napped in JJ's car for awhile! : )

On Saturday I went to visit my Grandma Olson for a couple of hours before my baby shower. She had another stroke last week and was in the hospital up until Friday. It was good to see her up and about and she seemed to be in pretty good spirits. After visiting I headed over to my Grandma Steffen's where my shower was being hosted by my aunt Sara and my cousin Amy (I know there were others who helped as well). Everyone made the day so special and it was so cute! I got to see several college friends that I had not seen in a very long time, and I appreciated the fact that so many people traveled so far! Not only that, but everyone was just beyond generous with everything Mason and I received for Baby Heavin. We have a few things we still need to pick up, but otherwise we should be good to go!

After the shower, I had dinner with Bailey, Lindsey, and Ashley (friends from college) and enjoyed some laughs while we caught up. We then went to Ashley's in-laws for another bonfire (we like to burn things) and got to hang out with everyone again. And of course, Sunday morning I had to head back to Missouri. As much as I hated to leave, I was happy to get back home and see my handsome hubby and my cute little fur child!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend:
