Sweet Home Indiana



Andrew and I just took a road trip this past weekend to Indiana...and drove! We both agreed that flying was a much better idea but this time around driving was necessary. Thanks to all my wonderful friends and family that were able to make it to my baby shower we had a car full of gifts to bring home! We'll talk about the baby shower a little later...

We started our journey on Wednesday night the 28th. Andrew and I got home from work around 7 and hopped in the car a half hour later. We drove until about midnight and stopped in PA for the night. We ran into some heavy rain and traffic the following day and drove about 8 hours until we reached my sister's house. My Dad and Claudia also made the drive from FL and came up on Thursday as well. Mollie and Bobby made us some delicious ribs on the grill...just thinking about them makes my mouth water!

Friday was a big day, Mollie graduated from nursing school! We are all so proud of her and I just know that she is going to make a great nurse! After graduation we headed to Lake Geist on Bobby's parents boat and made our way to a great Italian restaurant on the water. The weather was perfect and it was a great celebration and evening.


Saturday I headed to Berne with my Dad and Claudia to visit my Grandma Zeigler (unfortunately I didn't get to visit with Grandpa Nussbaum as he was in the hospital with pneumonia and a bacteria infection). If any of you know my Grandma, she's a talker, so it was nice to catch up with her and give her a big hug. Later that evening I was able to hang out with a few high school friends. I brought Andrew along and he got a little practice and a reality check with some infants and a toddler. He held a 6 month old for the first time and even played with Aubree, my friend Jill's adorable 3 year old. I just have to show you this picture as I thought it was too cute and can just foresee what else he will have to dress up as with our little girl in the future! Such a good sport Andrew!


Sunday was my baby shower (and week 27...we have entered the 3rd trimester)! Mollie spent a lot of time on this for me and I really appreciated it (keep in mind she had her nursing final on Wednesday, graduation on Friday and now this on Sunday)! I think she'll be a great multi-tasking mother :) Most everyone was able to show up and it was so great to see my friends and family that I haven't seen in months!
Everyone was joking not to drink the water because 6 of us are pregnant and their were a bundle of babies. It was a lot of fun to see all of the little ones I haven't been able to meet yet, they are all so cute!
Overall, the shower was a hit, and I even got the cake I had been craving (the same cake we had at our wedding!)...YUMMY!



Thanks again to all of those that made the trip to Fishers for the shower, it was so great to see you all and I just wish I could have spent the whole weekend catching up with all of you!
