Zeke got me a plane ticket for Christmas to go see Monika and her family! I went from Jan 14th-20th and had the best trip - it was just me and Jonas. We had so much fun with them and I especially had so much fun hanging out and shopping with Monika! Zeke was awesome to take the week off from work and did an amazing job taking care of the boys and the house. I think this is a yearly tradition that I need to continue!

Tuesday (Jan 17th), we spent the day shopping!!! Monika was great and took me to Room and Board and then Ikea. I had way too much fun at Ikea and bought so much. I really wish they'd build one in St Louis.
