Bringing Justin Home...

Hello friends... I've been wanting to get on here to blog more but I have just been exhausted lately, and trying to get back to the gym to loose some weight, so that's been keeping me busy. Today though was a MUST blog kind of day. During all our multiple viewings of Never Say Never, Laura, my sister, said that she wanted a life sized Justin Bieber cut out for her birthday, and since I love giving gifts and the Biebs I had to deliver, and deliver I did. It's just over one month until her birthday but I had to give her the Biebs early.

I missed the delivery of Justin, so I had to wait and get him today. So I thought it would be fun to document the journey of bringing home Justin... what a voyage it was today. I had to hit the gym up, and was pleasantly surprised when it actually felt like spring outside. It was amazing and so needed. I had a great work out and then headed over to the post office, I was a little nervous, what if the box was too big and I couldn't carry it home. It was the perfect size for a life sized cut out, and was super light. I carried the Bieber Box to the grocery store to do some shopping and then struggled to get everything home. It seems like I can't go into the grocery store without coming back out with way too much stuff. It was hard to carry everything home, but I did it and was proud, check out the voyage...
Out the door and heading to the gym... worked out to the Biebs which keeps me pumped, I even ran 7 minutes straight on the treadmill which for me is amazing!
On my way to Canada Post... oops finger shot!
There he is... Justin Bieber in a box... I sent this picture to Laura so she'd get pumped for her gift!
Grocery Shopping with the giant box... picking up some snacks for girls night
We Made it HOME!!!

So I didn't get to open it right away, I had to wait for Laura, but luckily she was able to come over that evening. I'd spent the afternoon in the kitchen making snacks for girls night and in front of the tv getting my work out video done today too, and was proud that I did an extra bit of exercise. Tonight my girls, Laura and Natalie came over, we haven't gotten to hangout in awhile so tonight was a much needed night in. Brandon was at a basketball game tonight so we had the place to eat and chat which was fun. We had a great catch up, and there are some great things going on in my friends lives, and I am so happy for them both. I'm thankful that these girls are still so close by, I don't know what I'd do without them. I was excited to see Laura's growing baby bump, I even got to feel baby Noah movin' around tonight which is always an exciting moment!! Laura, my sister, swung by to hang out for a bit and collect her birthday gift and I don't think she was disappointed. We took a bunch of picture, which you can see, it was too much fun and we all embraced the card board cut-out.
Laura opening her birthday gift.
Woo, woo, justin is out of the box...
Putting him together. It's kinda funny the directions of how to put him together were on the back of the flap, the side that you couldn't see, what's the point of that!
Natalie lovin' the Biebs, I was so happy that the girls embraced my silly appreciation of the Biebs.... we had so many laughs tonight with Justin, and I love how I act like he's real- funny!
Laura and her new boyfriend... they even color co-ordinated their outfits
he almost looks real
a group shot of the Biebs with the ladies... I love my sister and friends
This is probably the closest we'll even get to Justin Bieber, but we love it anyway
It was love at first sight...ha ha ha
He's like my cute little brother... such an adorable kid!
Laura's growing baby bump... baby Noah is 30 weeks tomorrow! He'll be here before we know it!
Doesn't Laura look amazing for being 30 weeks pregnant... we needed a belly shot together!

This is a shot of Justin "the cardboard cutout" Bieber in my apartment...
and this is Justin in his new home in Laura's room.
She messaged me that she keeps getting freaked out when she walks around the corner into her room, but I told her that he better stay as a fixture in her room.

It was a super fun day, and I think this might just be the best birthday gift that I have ever given, not only did it bring joy to the person who received it, but also to all those who were around tonight, especially me! Hope it brought you a little joy tonight too!

Great post!
I think you secretly got the cut out for you, but covered your purchasing with the excuse, "It's for my sister"!
;-)
