St. Louis Weekend

Monday, February 16, 2009
This past weekend, Jeremiah and I went to St. Louis for one last weekend trip before the baby comes. As long as I have known Jeremiah (about 12 years) he has talked about his love for the St. Louis Blues. Jeremiah and I have been to a few hockey games (and I grew up going to them to watch Jess perform with the RiverKids). However, I had never been to a game before this weekend. It was a great experience except for when the little girl behind me was yelling, "Beat him up! Get him. Take his helmet off him and beat him up!" I wasn't too fond of hearing a little girl about 7 yell at the players when they were fighting. I know that is what hockey fans do, but it just made me feel uncomfortable when I saw this little girl yelling at the players. It was an awesome game though. I hope that Jeremiah and I can make this an annual event. After the game, we just went back to our hotel.
The next morning we woke up and went shopping at West County Mall. I was so excited to go to H & M. I tried on a few things and then realized that my pregnant body is a little bigger than I thought it was!:) After that we went to the Galleria. We met Kelsy (my sister) and he boyfriend for lunch. It was nice to spend time with Kels without the rest of the family. We enjoyed meeting Casey and getting to know him as well.
Overall, it was a fabulous getaway. It was nice to hang out with Jeremiah and not be disturbed by phone calls or emails. I just thoroughly enjoy being with Jeremiah. He is such a fun person.:)
Oh..I completely forgot to mention my Valentine's Day present from Jeremiah. Usually, we don't get eachother gifts. I guess my gift to him was going to the Blues game (but I didn't really consider it a gift because I wanted to go to St. Louis for the weekend too). For the past few weeks I have been talking to Jeremiah about how I want to get our baby's pictures taken soon after she is born. I have been researching photographers, but haven't seen anything I really like. In the future, I know that we will go to the mall to get her picture taken. We work with so many photographers (when we tape weddings) that I figured we could find someone that took great baby pictures. Anyway, on our way down to St. Louis Jeremiah handed me a card. Inside the card he had created a little card with the name of a photographer on it. He said that had looked at many websites for photographers too, but wasn't thrilled with the pictures he was seeing. So, he contacted one of the photographers that we have worked with and asked them if they would take our pictures when the baby comes. They said they usually only do family and friend pictures, but would be happy to take our pictures. I was so thrilled! They are going to come to our house after she is born. I can not wait!! Here are two pictures of us at the Blues Game.
