Thank You Thanksgiving Weekend



Here’s what I did…

  • Snuggled on the love sac and watched Pinocchio with the world’s cutest 3 year old boy

  • Got a makeup makeover and felt like a new women haha!

  • Cheered up by good friends over simple texting conversations
  • Learned card tricks from “the experts”

  • Snuck in to get a quick glimpse of the Air Force Academy basketball team practicing before getting kicked out

  • Went bowling twice (I completely dominated the second time)
  • Caught up with some good old friends :)
  • Laughed so hard I cried
  • Had mature conversations with a 12 year old
  • Received good morning hugs from my grandparents everyday…that meant the world to me

  • Made a pie run after discovering that the bananas in the Banana Cream pies we made turned black
  • Felt like a teenager watching New Moon, and about fell over every time Jacob was on the screen haha!  I was as giddy as my 12-year-old cousin, McCall (possibly more)
  • Witnessed the cutest moment...my cousin Luke got so frustrated while bowling and maintained the head-down position on the bowling ball return thing for 5 straight minutes.

  • Stayed up till 1 o’clock every night
  • Ate the most amazing ribs!
  • Spent time with the best brother EVER!

  • Gave my mom a backrub until she fell asleep after a long busy day


No stress, no worries, no sadness…at least for a few moments

Just what I needed.



Now...
back to reality

Can't I Just Stay Here?


"When God closes one door,

He always opens another,
even though sometimes its hell in the hallway."
Another great quote from my Dad this week. 

 I've decided that I don't like hallways!
What I'd give to be little again --at least for today...


Same pajamas, same blanket, 
Only decisions were macaroni & cheese OR hot dogs...

Those were the days...
