I can't believe it has been a little over 2 weeks since I have posted anything, but I have been really busy.
October 23rd I left town to visit my granma who lives near Nashville. She had just had bypass surgery which she currently is still recovering from and doing marvelous job with all her physical therapy. It was nice to get away for a weekend. I spent a lot of time with my grandfather. We went to church, went for walks even took the dogs to the dog park around the corner from his house. He really liked it too. He told me tons of stories while we were together. Near the end I decided that I would record him because I knew I would never be able to remember everything he said, so I pulled out my phone and started recording. =) I don't think he ever realized what was going on!!!
This last weekend Oct 31st, I went home for my home towns fall festival, Arkalala. There are tons of things I enjoy about this weekend. There is tons of rides (that I don't ride because I have gotten too old), great food (pancake feed saturday morning), a parade (that can be awesome and not so awesome, this year it was awesome), the bands night performance (which is really much better than it sounds, KState came and performed this year), and tons of friends and family getting together enjoying everything in fellowship. It really is a good time.
Speaking of fun time, I ran into one of my favorite friends. He is THE biggest cowboy you might ever meet. I sat and listened to him tell story after funny story for about 2 hours. He had me laughing my face was sore when he left. It was a great time.
I was also able to see Amy (my sisters) house, in person, for the first time! That was neat to see the progress they have made to making it their home for the family they are starting. Which brings me to my next subject.
This weekend is Amys first shower. The church down in Ark City is giving Amy a shower. I am so excited to see all the little pleople clothes. I think I am more excited than she is, I just can't wait to be an aunt. The following weekend is Amy's second shower that Mom, Katie and I are putting together. That should be fun! This weekend Katie and I are going to shop around on Saturday morning to see what I want to get.
Then the week after this I stay in KC for a short time because the very next wednesday I am heading back home to AC. Yup, you heard me HOME, H-O-M-E. I still consider it my home. I didn't think I would really enjoy it as much as I do, but I really do love going back. I was actually thinking about how great it would be to move back at some time in my life. I know now is not that time because it is no place for a "Lady in Waiting".
Ok, back on topic I will then be going home that Wednesday for Thanksgiving. Can you believe it is that close? Then a few weeks after that I have a trip planned to go to Branson with some friends. I am excited to go to Silver Dollar City. I love it there at Christmas time...what am I kidding myself? I love it there anytime of the year. =)
Well now that it has taken me a week to get this all typed so I can post it, I am going to tell you that pictures will come soon as well as a new post about my sisters showers!!! I can't wait for that little guy to come and join us it is going to be such a blessing.
