We had another wonderful and FULL weekend! Friday night I don't even remember what we did now because it seems so long ago...I'm sure it included eating fast food of some sort because Gary got the biggest paycheck we've ever gotten in our lives. :) Saturday we slept in!!! Tyler slept until 9 and so did I but Gary only slept in until 8. He's on a working man's schedule now. Then we got the car loaded up and drove down to the "Cabbage" to spend the day with Gary's parents. Tyler did really well considering it rained most of the day and he was inside a lot. Gary's mom, as usual, fed us to overflowing with great food and we just got to spend some time as a family. I also got to start the book I've been wanting to read- another novel- and really enjoyed it. We decided to drive home that night so we could go to church Sunday and we did. Nothing makes me more homesick for our old town than church. I think that only in church do I face with absolute certainty that we are here now and not going back. I do too much comparing our old church to this one we visited. It was a good service though and we had communion. I've always loved communion Sunday. After that we went to Applebees for lunch and I had the quesadilla burger. Oh My Gosh. That was the best burger EVER! Then we went to Big Lots where I got a bookshelf for 10$ to put Tylers toys on and then back to the cabin/cottage/cabbage. Josh and Lia (or Lea) were there with a bunch of friends, and also some other family and friends came for the cook out and we got to go out in the boat! Poor Tyler has to wear this life vest that is coast guard approved and it is horrible. He can't even reach his hand around the thing to his face to eat or drink, he can hardly see anything and can't climb very well. He gets very frustrated and, like me, when frustrated, he's not easy to be around. We went home again at Tyler's bedtime and Monday gary went to work while Tyler and I played. THEN Gary took me to the MALL!!!!!! I got two tops- one at Anne Taylor, one at learner and paid around $15 TOTAL including tax. Shopping is my best sport. Then we went to my mom's for dinner with my family and it was so fun! I got a candle and book from my mom for my birthday and got to visit with my grandma and great-aunt a lot. My mom's cooking is so good. It's no surprise I don't feel good today with all that eating I did this weekend! Today is the first day of school for Gary. He's been working a month to get all the computers ready and I pray he has a wonderful day!
