Gala's, Shopping & Babies

I entered this weekend thinking I had nothing going on and it would be a pretty laid back weekend...nothing new.  I was soon mistaken.

Friday
Andy had plans for a guy night in the M&I suite at the Dbacks game, so I thought my night would be filled with shopping, take out and a bottle of wine.  I was wrong.  On Friday around 4:30, I received a call from my friend Jessica who invited me to attend a Chamber Gala...a work function.  Last minute she found out the firm had an extra ticket and was asked to invite someone. So, on a short notice (1.5 hours in advance) she thought of me.  Actually, her words were "You have been blogging about how you and Andy don't have much going on so I thought you might be available."  Of course I am available.  By the time I got home from work I had 30 minutes to get ready for a Gala.  Jessica picked me up and we headed to Scottsdale where we saw a live bull, orchestra and cloggers.  Yes, all three at the one event.  We left the event and headed to a country bar (not usually my thing) where we shared more cocktails.  I got home "late" for me.  I am glad Jessica thought of me and assumed I had nothing going on because I had a great time and good girl time too.

Saturday
Once I got out of bed from being exhausted from the night before (maybe it was from too many drinks from the night before), I headed to the nail salon to get my toes done.  Then this girl went shopping at Nordstrom Rack where I was receiving text updates on my friends, Amber and Brian, giving birth to their second baby.  Andy and I decided to do nothing on Saturday night because this old couple is unable to go out two nights in a row.

Sunday
We got the joy of visiting the Campbell's and most importantly, baby Briggs Campbell.  We first picked up a gift for baby Briggs, and of course a gift for little Miss Stella so she doesn't feel left out.  We headed down to "Tucson" and visited for about an hour.  Let me tell you, baby Briggs is ADORABLE!  I did hold him too!  Yup, I held a newborn baby who was approximately a day old.  The second time I ever held a newborn, but also probably the third time ever holding a baby.  I am not going to lie, I was SUPER nervous.  I was probably the stiffest person ever to hold a baby.  It definitely did not feel natural at all.  He also was farting the whole time I was holding him.  It was kind of funny.  He is super cute and congrats to the Campbell family.
