Days Like That

This past weekend we had a friend of our family, Joel, come down for a visit. He brought Emery a gift on Friday night and then asked my parents if he could come over to their house and cook for us on Saturday. And who are we to turn down a good meal? So on Saturday we all came together to spend a lovely (chilly) afternoon sharing good company and delicious food.

We had a lot of good laughs, and danced to Spanish music. The food was delicious, and Joel brought so much of it! There was even some we didn't get a chance to get on the grill because we were already so stuffed. I’m sure I gained about 5 lbs. in that one sitting. Emery was able to play outside for the majority of the day and she refused to nap at all. She had such a blast running around and visiting with everyone that she was out by 7 pm on our drive home. It was such a nice, laid back day. I loved it. :) Made me appreciate everything that I have. Because even though times get rough, I'm still blessed to have days like those. Filled with family, and love. It was truly a perfect Saturday.

About Today: January 28th

Today, it was humid and a bit cloudy. 70 in Texas in January? 

I heard from my soul-mate. 

I found out that I needed to catch up in one of my classes after being sick. 

I decided that I need to save up for a vacation. 

I reflected on my weekend, filled with wonderful family. Post to come. 

I came to the conclusion that global warming is in fact, in effect.
I went an entire day just eating fruits and veggies.
I finally sorted out some personal issues.

And I missed California. Very much. 

The Flu

Since last Monday we've been sick. We were hit with the flu. This past weekend I was hoping to get some things done around the house as well as have some time with friends before our schedule switched back into overdrive. Instead the mini me and I spent it lounging on the couch and bed. Kleenex’s, flu medicine, and a lot of Vick's vapor rub on hand. We’re feeling better this morning but not really back to 100%. My husband has yet to catch it, which is bizarre since he’s been here through it all with us, but I hope his luck stays this way. It has been miserable week and I wish it on no one.
