the minnesotan in me is about to come out...i am about to complain about the weather. annoying, i know. we minnesotans like to complain when it is too cold and we like to complain when it's too hot. and we definitely get the best worst of both worlds in this state (but i still really love living here). and right now it is just too dang hot, which isn't fun for anyone...but as a big ol' pregnant lady it feels so much worse! luckily, we have air conditioning, but i don't like to keep the kid inside all day so i have had to endure the heat quite a bit. the key to survival has been lots of water and loose, lightweight dresses. and this one is perfect! so, thank you so much, little sister, for giving me this dress! i have always loved it, but i have especially appreciated it this week!
