Holiday Weekend

Why is it that a weekend away always leaves you more tired than you were before you got started? Is it the packing of 2 adults and 2 children? Is it thinking about putting it all away when you get home?

Besides returning tired we had a great weekend in Abilene with dear friends catching up on life. It is so nice to have friendships where you do not get to talk as often as you would like but can pick up as if no time has passed at all. David Todd and Lisa's children had grown so much it is hard to believe we have friends with a six year old. Then our other dear friends are about to start the life journey of having a child. They have no idea what is in store. No more 9 o'clock bedtime for them. They will make great parents though. God bless all our sweet friends near and far.

My how things have changed in Abilene since we were there three years ago! There are more restaurants, shopping, and the big news was they added another Super Wal-Mart in town. We managed to eat Chinese food, a great steak, and some delicious Mexican food. I also got to enjoy a Cajun Cone before leaving town which is one of the places I miss especially in the hot summertime. It is amazing how much you can get done when it only takes ten minutes to get across town. The slower pace sure was enjoyable for the weekend. The only sad part was we did not get to see the Mayos but we will catch them next time.

All in all we had a lot of fun and Kaylee enjoyed her time with PaPa and Nana in Waco. She told me all about the beautiful wedding she got to attend and going shopping with Nana who buys her anything she wants. That is what Nanas are for though. I still have some unpacking to do so that is all for now. Enjoy your day.
