I spent the weekend at my parents. I don't like that sentence. I spent the weekend at home. Well that doesn't really work either. How about I spent the weekend where I used to live for 18 years?!?!? I went back to my hometown?!?! Well yuck I don't like any of those sentences. I SPENT THE WEEKEND WITH MY FAMILY. How about that? :)
Day 9 - I met my mom, SIL & little B in Branson & then we headed to Silver Dollar City to see all the Christmas lights. We ended up at the kid rides the majority of the night :) Little B & I rode the swings, a roller coaster, the elephant ride, & a pirate ship ride. My mom rode the teacups with little B. We had the BEST time!!!! It was SOOOO hot so I really wasn't that excited about seeing millions of Christmas lights & a million other people in the holiday cheer. ha So maybe my brother & dad were right.......DON'T go to Silver Dollar City until after Thanksgiving. HAHAHAH We had a great time!!! What I am THANKFUL for on this day: Little B looked over at me while we were on the roller coaster & said "I am having so much fun" MELT-MY-HEART! O the world through a 3 year olds eyes :) LOVE MY NEPHEW!!!!!! LOVE MY SIL!!!!!!! LOVE MY MOM!!!!!
Day 10 - I am thankful for my brother. Yes you read that right. My brother. Growing up he was SO MEAN TO ME! But today I am so thankful for it. I have grown to be one tough cookie bc of him. He is SOOOOOOOOOO hardworking! On this day we did yard work at my parent's house & spent almost the entire day together. He fixed my battery in my car. We had a free throw contest & I WON! I made more 3's in basketball than he did! We played outside for hours because it was just gorgeous. LOVE Fall weather! We used to play basketball in my parent's driveway when we were little & we still had fun 20 years later. Ahhh the memories :)
Day 11 - Today is my brother's 30th birthday!!! Happy Birthday Adam! Happy Veteran's Day!!!!!!! Today I am thankful for FAMILY weekends at "home". I LOVE my family. We celebrated my brother's birthday with lunch & cake. Little B, my mom & I played hide & seek for the longest time this morning - it was seriously the funniest thing I have ever done. Brennen spent Friday & Saturday night at Grandpa & Maw Maw's house. I got to sleep on a futon bc little B got the comfy bed & I didn't even care. My back cares, but I didnt care! I ate a yummy homemade dinner last night AND breakfast this morning. :) Living away from family is hard. The time we spend together is always VALUABLE time together. We make every minute count. Thank you for a fun weekend family :) LOVE YOU!
Have a great week!
Love,
Emily
