As this past weekend was a holiday weekend, I had the good fortune of receiving an extra day off of work. I capitalized on this opportunity and went home to visit my family.
When I arrived Friday night, it was after 10 p.m. Upon settling in and visiting with my family for a short time, they went to bed. I, however, stayed up working on a report for work and waiting for Chris to arrive. As he didn't get in from Springfield until after 2 a.m., the wait was a long one.
Early the next morning...after a few hours of sleep...everyone woke to get ready to travel to visit family. I was able to visit with my grandfathers, my cousins, uncles, and grandmother. I was also given a chance to take Chris out on his first four-wheeler ride ever! It was a great day.
Sunday, after church, Chris and I went to Columbia for the afternoon. We went to the new Myseum (just opened a few weeks ago), went shopping at the mall, and finished up the evening with dinner and drinks at Flatbranch. After a few songs on guitar hero, we cleaned out our cars and headed to Wal-Mart before returning home to watch movies and turn in for the evening.
Yesterday, I helped my mom prepare for a garage sale and loaded up the car to begin the five hour drive back to Lincoln. Even with the extra day, the weekend flew by and seemed much too short.
I value my free time on the weekends so much more now that I am so busy! I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and am counting down the days until I can pack up my belongings and move closer to home. Only three months left and I will be doing just that!
