Time out for Shopping

We have been BUSY!
Family trips, camping trips, work, everyday life and fleeting thoughts of all of the things I have to do for this wedding have filled our time and made the 11 months that seemed SO LONG in the beginning turn into 5 and a half! Where has the time gone??


This past weekend my parents and I ventured out to Leesburg, VA for some shopping and quality time spent together, as their baby prepares to leave them empty nested! We shopped till we dropped, buying everything from future kitchen supplies to honeymoon outfits.






My favorite purchase...the corn dishes. These are a few items among many others! Saturday we spent the day at the outlets and ended with an evening at the Cheesecake Factory, where we ate until we were stuffed to the rafters. Sunday we headed to Tyson's Corner to do some more shopping at the malls there. I will cherish these memories always and I am so appreciative to have parents that love me and are so giving in everything they do. Love you guys!

Justin bruises easy, so gentleness is the factor :) Sounds like you had a blast - I want to see a fashion show! That is, unless its late evening honeymoon "attire" - I'll leave that fashion show to Justin ;)
