One Lucky Lady..

I can not believe how lucky of a lady I am. I have some of the most supportive, loving, and awesome family and friends there are. After this weekend, I am even more positive about that. I love being able to call and talk to my family whenever, wherever, and even get some Facetime in when the nephews and niece are awake. Being away from home has been difficult but everyone is always there to talk and listen.  This last weekend was very special. My dad and mom, and Keith's mom were all able to come down to Monroe for an extended weekend. They left Thursday after work and arrived here around lunch on Friday. (I think they will think twice about staying the night to close to Dallas Thursday night next time as they got to be apart of the Dallas traffic Friday morning) I get off work early on Fridays and was able to meet them at the ULM campus where Keith was having practice. My car wouldn't go fast enough from my office to the gym, I was so excited! Dad, mom, and I all went to eat at Catfish Cabin, where we got some great shrimp (it is craw fish season here, but we just couldn't bring ourselves to eat that). I had a nice time talking and hearing about all the stories that have been going on. Saturday we met up with Keith and Jan for lunch and then on to the afternoon basketball game. Unfortunately, we didn't play very well, but it was still fun to experience it with the parents. It was nice to lay around and hang out before we went to a nice dinner at The Warehouse No. 1, a restaurant on the Ouachita River, again another well known dining place here in Monroe. Saturday night was enjoyable playing dominoes and just being able to be together. Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day as we ate at one of our favorite places here in Monroe, Daqs, a great wing stop. We enjoyed boche ball and some mall time before heading back to make dinner for the group. It was a Mexican Feast, as we don't have many of those restaurants around here. We played dominoes to end the night and had a wonderful evening. Unfortunately the weekend had to come to an end after Monday morning breakfast and they heading back to Kansas. I am so glad they got to come down and see where we hang out and what we do. I had a great time and can't wait to see them all again. I know it seems like we just ate a lot, but we truly had a great time enjoying family time and just hanging out. Thank you all for coming!

I did not get many pictures, but here are the ones I did:
