Reunion/ Trip Home

Hey all!

I just got back from a whirlwind trip home! It was great to see everyone, but I totally over did it. I left on Tuesday to fly to Lubbock. Lucky me got on standby on both flights in, so instead of landing at 10:00 PM I was home by 8:15!! I did not get sick on the plane, I was worried I would.

Wednesday, Krista and I got up and went to Sam's to shop for my reunion. Then we met Darla and went birthday shopping! I got a bunch of new maternity clothes.. WOO HOO! Krista and I left Lubbock and headed for Ft. Sumner, with a stop in Clovis to pick up the shirts.

My reunion went really well, considering. Lucky for me, my new cousin Amanda Kenyon (Rusty's wife) saved my butt by helping take over most of the doing.. I did the planning and she did the doing. Our float turned out to be fun, we threw a mixture of candy and WATER BALLOONS! Since it was so hot, I think the crown actually enjoyed it :)

Dar and David came into town, along with Aric, so they got to see the parade and then we went to the tug of war where Krista and Leighton ended up in the mud a couple of times :) After that, we headed home.

I just really want to say how great the trip was, for family bonding. I think that it is crazy to think of where we were 6 months ago to now. It feels like the obstacles are just a distant memory and the family that has formed is our future. I am sure there are roadblocks still to come, but what family does not have that?? I am just glad that the stress is gone and we are all able to just be...

I got to spend a good amount of time with Nana. Man, I sure do miss her! She is such a hoot. However, when I got back I got the bad news that Tippy, her beloved ugly dog (he was UGLY) passed away. Nana was very upset, as you can imagine.

Anyways, that is my reunion wrap up. I am so glad it is over.

Pregnancy wise, I am feeling better... still tired. The sickness is getting to be less and less, which is very nice!!

Hope life is good for you!
