Allot of driving
Family
Mix for 48 hours.
Yes, other than the terrible fact that my lovely girl's shower attacked her Friday night and sprained her ankle, this was by far, in every way, the best weekend ever.
My Dad and his BFF, yes I said it, celebrated their 60th birthdays Saturday. I took the girl to meet the parents, however, it turned into, meet the whole dang family and then some! Seriously, there was family there I hadn't seen in 10 years or more. Granted part of that, well, most of that is my fault, family's important guys, remember that. Anyhow, we got there and the people started pouring into the front room of Mom and Dad's., btw, the house, OMFG, looks amazing! We mingled a bit. Her foot was really buggin' her so she sat down to watch the UT game. I think UT won. I hope they did or Dad and all his old football buddies would have been quite upset. Over the dinner we sat with my great aunt and uncle and talked. It was allot of fun. Very good conversation. Not the kind I typically have at a party, real conversation though. Allot of family friends were interested in my exploits over the past few years, in particular, California, I'm beginning to wonder if any of them leave the state. My general answer in the end to most everything demeaning abotu the state was "what do you expect from a state that elects the Governator?" That seemed to get the point across pretty well.
Afterwards we went back and had totally planned on watching a movie and wound up crashing out, ok, not really, we wound up being up late watching late night TV, her foot was hurtin' so bad that she couldn't sleep, I even made her an ice pack for her foot.
Sunday however, well, Sunday sucked because we had to say goodbye till later. That part always sucks. You know, I think I could really get use to this, in fact, I think I really want to get used to this...
