Pampering

Today was an action packed day. In fact, I don't think I could have fit in any more excitement in the day. I definitely made the most of my last Thursday in Wilmington for awhile. I started the day out right by going to Zumba with Karson at Babs McDance. Nothing gets my day going quite like Zumba!

Afterwards, Marshall and I took my Dad out on the boat. He hadn't been out in awhile and Marshall thought my Dad was feeling a bit left out. I think my Dad thinks I do more with my Mom than I actually do. I love that my Dad is living in Wilmington now, but I almost feel like I have to babysit him more now that he does. He makes me feel bad when I don't do things with him. If I see anyone other Marshall a lot it would be the gals, not my Mom. My Mom works 5 days a week and rarely feels like doing anything after work. So my time spent with her is limited to weekends only or the occasional lunch date where she has only an hour to spare. My Dad, on the other hand, has too much time on his hands and not enough friends yet. I think things will be better with him once he can get his feet off the ground and starts making friends in Wilmington and stops relying on his friends in Fayetteville for his only fun. But today at least we spent some time with him. We took the boat out for a ride and went to the Fish Shack for lunch on the boat. We didn't stay out as long as we wanted as I had a massage appointment to get to.

I went for my first prenatal massage today and it was lovely. I now know why pregnant women rave about prenatal massages. There is so much going on with your body while you are pregnant - so many aches and pains and fatigue - that a good massage does wonders for you. I left there feeling rejuvenated and far less tight and achy. Today's pampering didn't stop there though. After I left my massage, I headed straight over to my hair stylist Laura's and had my hair cut. Even though I'm letting my hair grow out, I still enjoy getting my hair trimmed up and fixed. It always feels and looks so much better afterwards.

I had time after the hair cut to go home and hang out for a bit so Marshall and I went to the beach for an hour.  Marshall wanted to catch a few waves and I just sat on the beach and read. We left there and went straight to go meet Susan, Stacey and Brian for dinner at Flaming Amy's Bowl. It was a blast as always as they are some of the funniest people I know. We had a great time cutting up with them and after dinner we played around in Brian's new hybrid car.

Exhausted from my day of fun, I was happy to return to the house and hang out on the couch the rest of the night. Marshall and I turned on a movie and snuggled on the couch. It was a great way to end a fantastic day!
