Dianna Comes to Visit

Last weekend Ryan’s mom came to visit us. We had a fun time with her in town.

Friday, March 25

Her plane came in at 11:40 pm. We didn’t do much after we picked her up from the airport because it was so late. We chatted for a bit when we got home and went to bed.

Dianna treated us to breakfast at the Carolina Café. Ryan and I love that place so we were excited to eat there. Our friends the Moore’s were having their son, Nathan’s first birthday that afternoon so we went straight from breakfast to their house. Dianna was a champ and came with us to that. From there we went to Burlington coat factory so Dianna could get us a baby swing. I think the swing is perfect, Ryan thinks the fabric is a little loud. We went back to the apartment and took it easy for a bit. Ryan did school work, I took a nap and Dianna talked with Ryan and relaxed.

That night was the ward baby shower. Since Dianna was going to be in town, we thought it would be fun to have it while she was in town. Autumn and Shantel planned the whole thing and did a fabulous job. One lady made a fruit arrangement that looked amazing, it took her 3 hours to do. Autumn made a cute diaper cake, the treats were delicious and we played a “low key” game at my request. We were so spoiled and received a lot of great gifts! We are so lucky to have such great friends here! While the girls were at the shower Ryan was watching basketball with Andrew and his dad.

We had church in the morning. I was giving my primary lesson as usual, Ryan was teaching in the Elder’s quorum and then the Foley’s were blessing their baby boy Liam during sacrament and Ryan helped out with that. Pretty busy church day! During the afternoon, we went for a drive to show Dianna around the town. We had dinner at the Larkin’s – which was delicious. Came home got ready for Monday and went to bed.

Ryan took her to the airport after they dropped me off at work. Her plane was leaving that morning to Florida where she to spend the next week with Ryan’s brother in Florida. The visit went too quick and we hope she enjoyed her stay with us. We enjoyed having her here.
