Meeting Anika's Momma and Daddy

On Saturday we had made plans to meet Arianne and Greg.  We we hung out at the Gateway Mall for awhile.  It was so warm (okay - HOT).  But so much fun.  There were so many kids playing in the fountains.  It was so funny to watch them.  Only - I wanted to jump in so bad, but finally refrained.  I mean who really like walking around in wet clothes?  Not I.  While we were wandering we went in all the favorite stores.  Of course the Apple store.  Can't wait for the new 3G phone to come out on July 11th.  Don't know why.  Can't use one down here.  Anyways, back to my story.  We also went into Anthropologie.  I LOVE that store.  Of course I could never afford anything in there, but I love looking.  Last time we went there we found a book with an interesting art project.  Dustyn went home and tried it and we never posted pictures. But I will soon.  You can get a sneak peek here!  Anyways we were wandering and suddenly I smell one of the best smells ever.  Ever.  I walked around for at least 15 minutes trying to figure out where it came from.  Finally I found the culprit.  A super yummy candle.  Now I don't usually burn candles, but I will make an exception for this one!  I LOVE IT.  There was no chance I was leaving the store without that heavenly thing in my little paws.  So we bought it.  And I have never been happier to spend $26.00 on a stinkin' candle.  But O it smells good.   Totally worth the $26.00.  For sure.  Oh yeah, by the way, it kinda smells like Grapefruit, but better.  YUM!

While we were sitting on the bench waiting for Arianne and Greg, this scary guy came up.  I still have no idea why he came up to us.  Just to shoot the breeze i guess.  But I couldn't help but scoot my candle under the bench a little farther.  No one was getting away with my candle.  No one.  And then, he left.  

We met Greg, Arianne and Anika at Costa Vida for lunch.  It was a good time.  They are such a fun family.  I wish we could get cute little Anika a little sister or brother soon!  :)  She is so excited to have a brother or sister.  But we had lots of fun talking and getting to know one another (well in person, of course we chat quite a few times a week!).  We went and watched Greg and Anika play in the fountains.  It was so cute.  Greg is so cute with her.  It was getting a little warm so we decided to leave.  It was such a fun afternoon.  

We were trying to get pictures, but the sun was so bright.  I thought Dustyn was taking pictures, but I guess he hadn't yet.  So this is the only picture we got - as we were walking away.  But Arianne has some more on her blog.  

I was totally hoping Kim would be able to come, but next time for sure.  I didn't plan well.  I think we need to have a girls night out with all you up north bloggers!  That would be so much fun!  Or a big BBQ with our families too!

What a fabulous weekend!

Pictures and stories coming soon.  

But we totally met THIS family.  Love them!  

Miss Anika is the funniest, silliest, cutest little girl ever.  What an awesome sister she'd be!  If you know of anyone considering adoption, send them their way!  They are completely awesome!  

And I totally LOVE this store.  And I bought the YUMMIEST smelling candle, ever!
