This past weekend Jim and I took off for a last minute trip to Galveston to celebrate 28 years of wedded bliss. We spent the whole weekend in 'relaxation' mode...massages at the spa, lounging at the pool and long, uninterrupted dinners, just the two of us. Pure bliss!
Unfortunately, within hours of making it back home, Galveston seemed to have been weeks away. Lawns to be mowed and plans to be made for a graduation party this Friday night. Dinners to be cooked and work to be done to prepare for our family who will be in town for the celebration. To top it all off, Kelli got sick on Monday night and I went over to help her out with the kids while Matt was at work. (3 AM, people!) The
grand babies came back home with me on Tuesday morning and spent the night with us so that she could get a little more rest. She is here today and they will all go home tonight...hopefully to a good night's sleep. (Jim wanted to let me get some sleep last night, so he offered to stay up with
Maddux. He just didn't know that it would be until 3 AM.) Kelli is trying to let Matt get some sleep today while they are over here.
Well, that is what we have been up to since my last post. And I bet you all thought it was just too boring around here to have anything to post about, didn't you?
I don't know if I will make it back on until after the weekend's festivities. If not,
ya'll have a wonderful week!
I ordered a bulldog...but I had no idea I was going to get a 3-D dog! He was brought over in a cardboard box and when she opened it up, it looked like a real dog in a doghouse. This was her first bulldog cake and I think he is amazing! It is rare that we get more than we expected, but this was definitely one of those times. Look at the detail.
When the time came to cut the cake...I had a little remorse. It was painful to wreck such a creation. But, lo and behold, he tasted even better than he looked. Thanks to Bridget for a wonderful touch to end a memorable day!
