Well, this past week has been crazy to say the least. It started with us finding out we were going to Texas. So I packed and got ready at the beginning of last week,then Halloween was Wed. Jayda dressed up as a fairy, Halle was little Red Riding Hood, and Mia was Dee Dee from the Doodle Bops.:) We had a lot of fun, the girls trick or treated and got lots of candy! We didn't stay out too late, because Thursday morning we were up by 5am to leave for Texas. The girls were so excited to fly on a plane. It was really fun. On friday my mom drove to my Dad's house and we played games and of course bought the girls toys at Target. Friday night we all went out to dinner with my Best Friend from High School, Kim, and her husband and family. We also met our old family friend Texie and her family for dinner. It was a super fun night.
Saturday we woke up early and went to the temple with my Aunt and Uncle. It was a great blessing for me to escort my Aunt through the temple. Nelson escorted my Uncle and we were both there for their sealing to each other and their sealing to their parents. What more can I say, a lot of people were rejoicing that day, on both sides of the veil.
Saturday Night we visited some of my best friends from College, Olivia, her husband Josh, and their family. Olivia was my escort in the temple. Her family and I are very close and we spent a lot of time together in college. She has five boys....:) She drove all the way from Dallas to see me. I hadn't seen her for over 7 years, it was a great reunion for all of us. We met together at her brother Malcham's house and even had a reunion with a missionary that served with us in Stephenville. It was so much fun to see old friends.
On Sunday, we went to my Aunt Oddlee's House. (She is my Mom's Aunt). We drove two hours to see her and many of my cousins who we haven't seen in many years. It was the first time for most of them to see our girls. It was a lot fun. We had a great time this past weekend. We ate a lot of good homecooking...and I mean a lot. I gained 4 pounds! Hehe...well, it was a great 4 pounds. We are home now and life is back to normal...as normal as it can be I suppose. We are ready for the great holidays and for the time we can spend with our family here.
