Episode 2: Ohio Trip- Saturday

Saturday was one of the biggest days of the trip. I was going to see my college friend Missy and her baby at the mall, and then come back for a get-together party that Matt and Jamie had planned for us. Seeing Missy was great! I hadn't seen her for awhile, and this was the first time I got to see her baby Daniel, and it was also the first time she got to see Jonathan. They are only about 4 1/2 months apart in age, Daniel and Jonathan. I didn't get any pictures at the mall, there were a lot of things that distracted us... like me thinking I lost my phone and going all over the mall trying to find it, then finding it still in the car. Or when we were leaving (Missy was coming to the get-together party for awhile as well) Missy had forgotten to turn off the lights on her car and her battery died. So we spent a full half hour, maybe more, blocking a whole parking lot aisle of a very busy mall trying to jump her car. That was fun lol. Just more evidence that once you have a baby your brain goes out the window... on BOTH our parts lol.

The get-together was so great, it was nice to see all the family we had missed. And it was great that they missed us too as evidenced by them running to hug us and oohing and ahhing over Jonathan! It was fun to be able to visit everyone. I'm so glad that Matt and Jamie decided to have this get-together at their house!
