Family Matters

I've been busy, busy, busy so far this week, so I have had zero time to blog about my fantastic weekend.  As you know Ashley, Noah, and I road tripped it to Ohio to visit family and to attend my cousin, Amanda's, Baby Shower.

We drove throughout the night, leaving Thursday around 8:30 PM.  We arrived in Greenville around 5:30 AM.  Once we made it to my Grandpa's house, we all crashed until about 10 oclock.  We had just enough time to get ready before my Mom made it in (she flew in from Kansas).  Once she arrived, we got to visit and then later went to the Grocery Store to get items and food for the cookout that we had Saturday night.  Friday was full of visiting with all of my family.  My Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Tim arrived and we all ordered in pizza and had a great time visiting.

Saturday morning was filled with a lot to do.  It started out with going to my cousin, Jeff's football game.  He is the quarterback for their reserve team and I enjoyed getting to see him play well.. They won 20-8, I believe.

This is a picture from the game of Ashley and Noah.

We went straight from the game to Amanda's Baby Shower.  We had a great time seeing more of our family that we had not seen yet and we got to visit with them.

After the shower, we all went back to my Grandpa's for a cookout.  We had tons of food, a fire pit in the backyard, and made smores later that night!

I had a blast this weekend and I was very sad to see it come to an end so fast.  After two fun filled days, it was time to leave and I was NOT looking forward to the 9-10 hour drive home.  Since this past weekend has come and gone, I can now look forward to Thanksgiving, when I will go to visit my parents in Kansas!





Road trippin' it

Today has been such a great day, for many reasons.  First off, today is my "friday".  I am off work tomorrow and the reason being? I am heading to Ohio with my sister and brother-in-law for my cousin, Amanda's, baby shower, this is reason number two.  I have not seen Amanda in years, I think. 

Reason number three why I am having a great day: Not only am I getting to see family that I haven't seen in a while, I get to see my mom (who is flying in tomorrow).  I haven't seen my mom since early July and I miss her SO much! Knowing that starting at 8 PM tonight, I will be on my road trip makes me a happy girl.  Call us crazy, but we all decided to leave tonight so that we could drive throughout the night and arrive in Ohio around 7 or 8 in the AM.  We figured traffic would be non-existent and that we would have more time to visit with our family, since we would get there friday AM and not PM. 

Another reason today is such a great day is the fact that it is 56 degrees outside.  If you know me, you know I LOVE the cold weather!  I love the clothes that comes with the cold temp's... leggings, jeggings, boots, turtlenecks, sweatshirts, everything!!

Do you prefer the colder temp's or the warm weather?
