Jamie, my oldest sister now lives in CA and had to work in Houston and took advantage of being in TX and deiced to take a trip to Fort Worth to visit my mom. We all deiced it was the perfect chance to to get to see one another. GIRLS ONLY TRIP! No husbands or kids allowed!! Weekends like these are RARE with having 4 kids at home. Michael being the amazing dad/husband took on the full load of the kids/cleaning/feeding all weekend by myself.
We all made it to my mom's house except for my sister, Courtney. She was missed and talk about how she was missed countless times. The weekend was filled with nothing by laughing, hugging and smiles. I think what I enjoyed the most was seeing the love & joy in my mom's eyes. I know how much to enjoyed seeing her daughters. She had been preparing for weeks maybe months for this weekend. We did a little shopping, watched a movie and ate great food.
We all have the same taste in clothes and all picked out the same shirt & white watch while shopping downtown. It was interesting seeing them do the same weird croaky things that I do too at home. I felt so connected with my sisters and mom.
Stacey and I drove home Sunday and we were able to drive some of the way together. We drove through a TERRIBLE storm. She drove in front and I drove behind her. I could barely see her headlights in front of me due to the heavy rain. It reminded me of when we were kids riding bikes. Stacey wanted to make sure I was closest to the side walk just in case a car got to close to our bikes she would get hurt before me. Once we got to Abilene, we split ways and the sun came out.
I arrived home to a happy family with clean house and dinner ready!
