I Will Never Forget My Ipod Again

As soon as I got off work on Friday, I hit the road to Clarksville. I hadn't even made it to my car yet when I randomly remembered that I had left my ipod at home. I briefly thought about going home to get it, but it would have been an extra hour of driving and I decided it wasn't worth it. I couldn't find a radio station that made me happy and so I just called my mom and made her talk to me for a while. I then called my brother and made him talk to me a while. By this time I was close enough to home to be familiar with radio stations that would get me through.

Aunt Lisa and Aleasha had come in for the weekend as well. Aunt Lisa has started selling Premier Jewelry and was going to host a party for mom on Saturday morning. Friday night we enjoyed some homemade chicken and rice soup by my dad and set up everything for the party. This, of course, meant looking at the jewelry and picking out what to wear on Saturday.



I was so looking forward to the party, but mostly because we had invited Lynz and Emily and I couldn't wait to see my friends!! Kyleigh ended up being a sick little girl on Saturday morning. She had gotten sick several times in a short period of time and Lynz was trying to get in touch with the doctor. I was so sad they didn't get to come. But... Emily and her mom did get to come!!! I really do not remember the last time that I saw Emily. That is such a sad thing to admit. It was so good to catch up a little and just get to be with my friend. I miss that girl so much!!



Of course Aunt Lisa did a great job and we had more fun looking at and picking out which jewelry we wanted. She even got me to agree to host a party sometime this summer. I mostly agreed because I've been wanting to get them to come see me and this is a perfect excuse!!


The afternoon just slipped by and it was time for the two of them to head back to MS which meant it was then time for me to take a much needed nap! The evening was spent watching basketball and making sure that my picks kept doing well.



Sunday morning I got to drive GK (who was also visiting for the weekend) to church with me. She did not stop talking the whole way! And I loved it!! We even had a deer run out in front of us and she barely skipped a beat. We got to church and I had called mom to come out and meet us but when she didn't answer I just parked at the curb. GK kept saying she didn't need any help and she'd be fine but I still got out to help her. Since my car is a little lower than what she's used to, she did need me to help pull her a little bit to get out of the car. We were walking inside and she was going on about how good her kids were and she was blessed and she looked up at me and said "Where would I be without you?". I told her "still out in the car". HaHa!

After church we had Mexican, per my request. Apparently GK was really wanting a steak because she was seriously excited when she saw it was on the menu. We all talked her out of getting the tbone steak from the Mexican resteraunt. I just don't think it was what she was thinking it would be.

The other excitement from the Mexican resteraunt was when Mom and Dad's order of fajita nanchos came out with chicken, steak, vegies, and shrimp. It was NOT what they thought they were getting. Mom does NOT eat shrimp and when she saw it on the plate she freaked out. I mean freaked. It was actually quite funny. She calmed down enough to order something else and Dad thoroughly enjoyed the "mistake" nachos.

Sunday afternoon was my lllllloooooonnnnngggg drive home with no ipod. Le me just say that I will never forget my ipod again.

Fun Weekend

I was able to get away for the weekend to hang out with my family. I hadn't been home since Christmas and I was in much need of a momma and daddy fix. I left on Thursday around lunch and made it to Clarksville just in time for Courtney to squeeze me in to get my hair done. It was totally God's timing on how that all worked out. Within a span of about 15 minutes I found out I was going to have to cancel my appointment for Friday, made another appointment for that afternoon and was able to leave work early enough to make in just in time.

Thursday night I had a date with my daddy at the Catfish House. It was so yummy!! We used to go there all the time but I haven't gotten to go in several years and I loved it!

Friday morning mom and I got up very early to head to see GK and take her to get some more fluid drained off her abdomen. Then we took her to Perkins for lunch and then back to the apartment for a much needed nap! That night we watched a couple of old movies. "State Fair" which I hadn't seen before but loved and "Calamity Jane" which I've seen lots of times but never get tired of. I love old movies, especially musicals!!

Saturday morning we had a late breakfast of muffins from our Perkins trip on Friday and spent some time chatting. Mom and GK also taught me how to play Rummy... quite entertaining.

Mom and I left and headed back home to spend the evening with dad. We got home and he was playing Wii, so we joined him. It was highly entertaining to watch mom and dad learn how to play Wii fit. I believe may favorites were mom on the hula hoop and dad making the tree pose. I had a great workout just from laughing at (with) them.

Sunday was great morning at church seeing lots of familiar faces and worshipping with my family followed by a yummy Mexican food lunch. Sunday night I got to take Lynz out for her birthday. Her mom watched the girls and we were able to go just the two of us. It's been quite a while since we had the chance to go anywhere just us and it was great! Good conversation with my BFF and yummy food was a such a treat for both of us! Of course I was able to spend some time with her girls when we got home. Abby has gotten so big! She had doubled since the last time I saw her. She's such a sweet baby! And Kyleigh was full of energy as always.

I was off today, so I slept in before heading back home to my own little family. I missed them so much and it was good to be back with them.
