The Tuesday after Labor Day....

I love having holidays spaced throughout the year, but I always look back at the weekend after one has passed and wonder, "Where did the Holiday go?" It was a great weekend though. On Friday night, Alyssa and I decorated for our friend, Danielle's bachelorette party. Then on Saturday, we cooked and and finished the decorating just in time as guest showed up. We had a great meal of ham, chicken pot pie, salad, pasta salad, mash potatoes, corn on the cob, rolls, and Magnolia cupcakes for dessert. We had a fun night that ended up in the pool.

Sunday and Monday, I spent a lot of time with my family. We are getting ready to go to Oklahoma tomorrow for the birth of my brother Eric's son, Jesse Ray. I am not sure of all the exact details other than we are leaving Celina at 8 tomorrow morning and won't get back until late Thursday night. While we are there, my Grandma from California will arrive, so there will be around 25-30 family members that I will be visiting with in the next few days. My brother Scott is also showing up for the birth. I guess we will be having somewhat of a reunion. Eric's wedding was the last time all my siblings and parents were together.

I am glad the heat of the summer is almost over. It has been warm (quite warm) and humid the last few days. I like having breaks in the heat and today we got one. It is overcast and windy today. My favorite weather. I just wish I had motivation to work during days like today.

When I was a kid, my mom started a tradition that I have always loved. At dinner each night, we had to name one blessing from the day, one disappointment and one anticipation. Today, I am blessed that I had a nice lunch with friends, Finances disappoint me (ha ha ha), and I am looking forward to seeing family tomorrow!

Hope everyone has a great day!
