Thanks for the weekend

And the weekend has come and gone...  I have had a great and busy weekend.  It's been fun! We were able to pull off two great Pool Parties in the new pool.  It was a blast! Yesterday, the weather was so much better.  A super hot day, perfect for dipping in the pool.  Today... You really didn't have to get in the pool to get drenched.  But all in all it ended up great! Chris's family came today, and the neighbors yesterday! It was so wonderful spending time with Chris's family.  They truly are my family away from home! I loved seeing grandma and grandpa.  They came with such bright smiling faces.  I met Marie and her husband Dan for the first time.  It was so good to be with such loving and kind people.  I was so excited for Phylicia to meet them.  I have talked a lot about them, but to have them meet her, and for her to feel of their sweet spirits was priceless for me.  It was so nice to visit with Vicki as it always is.  She is so much my "PA" mom.  We always have a good time chatting, and planning, it's just so much fun! Phylicia and I ended our day by spending it with a dear friend.  Elizabeth made us homade bread which we had yummy grilled cheese sandwiches, and hot tomato soup.  Yummy!!!! It was so sweet of her.  I hadn't caught up with her in such a very long time, so it was nice to visit.  She is only 20 days away from her big day.  So exciting for her.  She is going to be the cutest little wife.  She is just such a sweet heart.  Back to Saturday... Rachelle and I enjoyed our "free" massage at our favorite store in the mall... Brookstone... Gotta love the massaging chairs... So nice...  and then we just shopped, and enjoyed being with each other. We talked about life, jobs, moving, and all the decisions that are just around the corner for her.  It was just a good day to spend together. She doesn't have very long till she moves on from here... And that is just something I don't like to think about...  Anyways...   I just love days that are filled with such good people.  Family and friends who have truly enriched my life...
