What REALLY happened this weekend... as told by Summer

First off, I have to tell you what fabulous shopping deals I got at the outlet mall, since Justin didn't even touch on that! We went to Oshkosh and the girls and I went a little nuts. I know, shocking, right? I tried to prepare Justin for the damage before hand, but he was still sweating at the cash register as they were ringing up our purchases. The total was over $800. Wait! I know what you're thinking, and I'm not done. Remember I said we were at the OUTLET mall??!! That was the price before all my savings. We walked out paying less than $400 bucks, and we are totally done school shopping for the year!!! I'm talking undies, backpacks, lunchboxes... everything! Go me!
Okay, now for the reunion business... So, Justin was SUPER excited to see all his BFF's from high school this past weekend... me? Not so much. But why, you ask? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my husband was a total gigolo in high school, or the fact that I have gained 20 lbs in the last 6 months... or maybe a little of both. AND I had a dream that we were at the reunion and Justin was talking to one of his friends and his friend said "Dude, your wife is hot!", and Justin said "No, my wife's the pregnant one." So maybe those are all reasons why I was not looking forward to this event...
We got to the picnic on Saturday afternoon and it was freaking HOT. But apparently this does not matter to Middleton mosquitoes because we all got eaten alive, even with bug spray on. (And to clarify, yes I have lost sleep thinking that we all now have the dreaded West Nile.) We still keep in contact with Justin's super close circle of friends (commonly known as the Fab 5... only not gay) so we hooked up with a couple of them right away and the wives gave me the scoop and the poop on all the hot guys and all the girls that Justin... dated.
Everyone I met was super nice. Let me re-phrase. Everyone I talked to was super nice. Usually meeting people means that you get introduced... uh, so I found one thing that Justin stinks at... maybe two. Remembering names, and introducing his wife (even to people whose names he does remember). We went home to scratch our bug bites and take a rest for a while, then it was off to the dinner.
I learned a lot about my sweet, innocent husband that night. Thanks to all his friends and old girlfriends for enlightening me! Apparently he loved steaming up the windows in his Empala with Kim (she was not there, but there were witnesses to the steam on the windows.... thanks for the dirt, Marianne!), an old girlfriend. And I always knew that he and the Fab 5 were naughty and re-arranged the letters on the message board outside the Oregon Trail Church of God, but I always thought it was rated PG... Boy was I wrong! Thanks to Seumas's excellent memory I now know what the signs actually said when they were finished with them. I believe one of them promised "free porn and beer at 11:45"! Nice boys, very nice. I guess now I know what to watch for when our son gets to high school age!
We did have a really great time and it was super good to see all the Friends and the Wives again. I miss you all! Thanks for the french toast at midnight and telling me I'm a cute pregnant girl! :-)
And by the way, all the old girlfriends I met were super nice! He had good taste back then, too!

P.S. Did you see how long Justin's post was?! He started posting at 10:09 pm and came to bed at 2 am!!! He wanted it to be perfect! You did a great job, babe! You have turned into such a great blogger!

That's some impressive shopping my friend. I'm going to need some lessons. I'm also betting that your Osh-Kosh purchases included some cute baby boy clothes?!?!?

That was Justin that put that message up?? I totally showed up at that church that night and nobody was there!
Good job shopping! We really need to make our annual trip too. Glad you had fun!
