Today is my last day here and I’m somewhat sad to leave! I love the 1:1 time with my folks. I am also enjoying getting to know my sister-in-law; she’s a super cute gal.
On Wednesday morning, Mark took Addi to school and Logan threw up all over the inside of the car, while Addi was crying, “Daddy, hold me, I’m cold!” Then Logan wanted a hug, so Mark gave him a hug. With Addi crying, throw up on himself and all over Logan, he walked across the parking lot and the crossing guard just very nicely said to Mark, “I hope your day gets better”. He said he is now VERY thankful for all I do at home with the kids. I think he’s anxious to get back to work as soon as I get home!
It has been a whirlwind visit!! We had a super fun day shopping & pedicures when I flew in on Wednesday.
Thursday was packed with graduation prep and my mom’s graduation in the evening. She goes to school an hour away from her home, so we drove back and forth all day for grad practice and then picking up Dad and Jessika for the actual ceremony in the evening. I am SO very proud of her and accomplishing a goal she has always wanted. What an example she is to me.
Yesterday was the wedding. Boy was I so nervous to take the pictures, but it was much easier then I had anticipated. Tommy & Britt are THE cutest couple and just so photogenic! It was also so much fun to see all my in-laws without Mark. They are a fun group of people and so loving & happy. To all those Aston’s who may be reading this: it was SO wonderful to see you all. Thanks for always making me feel like a part of your family … I LOVE YOU!
I went to Walgreen’s to print out a photo for Tommy & Britt so they had something to put in their home right away and when I went to pick it up, I was asked for the photographers written permission to duplicate the picture. WHAT A COMPLIMENT!!!
Last night we had dinner with my aunt & cousins. They are always so much fun to hang out with. My aunt is a professional race car driver and builds race cars herself … she’s amazing! My uncle passed away from cancer a year ago or so and Christmas was the last time we saw him, so this year was very hard for me to see Kathy & the kids without Greg.
We had our little Christmas this morning. Curtiss called from Iraq; it was so great to hear his voice. He’s been going on more and more “secret missions”, so the calls have been few and far between lately. Jessika and I gave my folks a flag that was flown over my brother’s base in Iraq on Veteran’s Day. Today is a day to eat and hang out!
When I get home tomorrow, I will post some pictures I have taken while here. My parents still have dial up and it may take me until NEXT Christmas to upload a few pictures!
Until tomorrow …
