I left St. Cloud about 9:45 am on Saturday and, after a stop for gas and a coffee, drove down to St. Michael to see Caytie's new house (awesome!!!!). It was fun to see her new place and get a tour! Caytie and I left her place about 11:30 am to drive together down to Roseville in order to meet up with Michele and Nicole for lunch!Both Caytie and I and Michele and Nicole got to Olive Garden early, so it was perfect timing! Michele brought her new baby, Jared (6 weeks on Saturday), so I got to cuddle him! :) We hung out at Olive Garden for 2 hours catching up on life. It was great to see Michele and Nicole as I only see them about 4 times a year. 
Nicole had a blast playing with Jared. She held him and played with him for about an hour! By the end of the day, however, she was extremely tired. Nicole is back to Mayo in June for more testing, and she's still on the heart donor list. 
She said that all she does is sleep, and that she barely eats anymore. Since the last time I saw her, she did look a little better this time, but not by much. She ate more, which was good (almost all of her soup, and some salad), but still not that much.

Caytie, Nicole, and I all brough gifts for Michele for the baby. She opened the gifts before lunch, and got a ton of stuff, particularly larger sizes for boy, which was good because Michele said that she didn't have much in larger sizes for him! I had soup (Zuppa Toscana), salad, and breadsticks (with the alfredo dipping sauce, of course), and it was yummy!
