So Thursday Daniel had some training at work which meant he had to work day shift instead of swing and when he got off we went on a long 5 mile walk with our doggies. It was a BEAUTIFUL day out and I just had to share a pic we took on our walk. We love walking Bald Hill trails and just getting out in fresh air to talk and reconnect. I love this man so much!
Now our weekend really began on Sunday when we took a night off of reality and headed up to the big city of Portland with my brother Brandon and his wife Brittany for an amazing concert. Daniel and I had bought tickets half a year ago it seems to see Blake Shelton. We have always LOVED his music but fell more in love with him when he picked up the hot sweet Miss Miranda Lambert and they were married the day before us and then he became such an awesome coach on The Voice. When we heard he was coming we jumped on the chance to see him in concert! He had two opening acts, Miss Dia Fampton, his #1 contestant on The Voice (who should have won the show!) and Justin Moore who is also one of my favorite singers. We also got an incredible surprise...Blakes wife Miranda came out and performed during the show and did an insanely great job! All together all of the performers were awesome and we had the best time ever with Brandon & Brittany!! Here are a few photos from the concert...

Monday morning after waking up from our comfy hotel room bed we headed out in the city in search of an adventure! First up was a tour through Babies R' Us!!
Daniel had never been and I had only been once (8 years ago!) so it was a fun 2 hours looking at all the newest baby gadgets and necessities! I of course had to park in the 'For Expectant Moms Only' spot and pose for a photo :) This pic makes me laugh, it's a lot of chub a little baby and a butt load of bloating haha, I am showing a bit and my stomach is getting pretty hard down low but I dont have what I would call a baby bump...yet! Daniel and I decided when we found out we were pregnant that we would start saving for our time off with the baby. I am planning on taking about 6 weeks off from the salon (depending on when our little one decides to arrive) and going back to work a few days a week around the first of the year. Yea I say that now but I still cant imagine leaving my little one, I didnt work anything more than a few days a week till Mia was 2! I feel very blessed that we work different shifts and our baby love bug will always have either Mommy or Daddy around!! In our attempts to prepare and save we decided to purchase a pack of diapers and a pack of wipes each pay check so that it was the last thing we would ever have to run out to the store and buy once our lil love bug comes! So we purchased our first pack of each!! I think if we can at least stock up on enough meds and diapers and wipes and laundry soap for the first year we should be set since I exclusively breast feed! Baby food we'll get once that time comes around at 6 months or so as I dont want it to expire. I'm SO excited to have a baby shower for this baby, I never had one with Miss Mia and my best friend has already declared that she will be throwing one for me, I cannot wait, I love sharing in this beautiful time in our lives with others!!
After Babies R' Us we headed to Ikea. Daniel had never been there either...we dont get into the city much lol...and my mom asked us to grab something for her. Daniel was in awe of how neat of a store it is so we shopped around and bought a few odds and ends and picked up my moms item and headed back home to make it in time for Mias swimming lesson.
On our way home we got hungry and stopped at one of our favorite spots. Its an ongoing joke with Daniel and his family about Sonic...we all LOVE Sonic...but we dont get it often! So we stopped and of course had to send a pic, we usually get texts back about how mean our picture is so this time it went a little something like this...
It is so nice for you two to get out and reconnect, whether it is date night or a walk. I think it is very cool. I think you have a great idea with the diapers and wipes. Yay!
