parent weekend was this weekend. and it was so good. it surpassed my expectations. probably because i was worried how everything would work out. but it did, and i'm very thankful. i think my roommates loved it too!
i won, with the first family in thursday afternoon. my dad and lynette came in earliest. but elise won with seeing her parents first. they came home thursday night while i was sitting on the couch watching greys anatomy and knitting. it was pretty funny! and i loved seeing my idaho parents, even though it was only a short while together. friday morning was amazing. we surprised brianna with her parents, and her younger brother bryce. bo, morgan and i pretended we were just hanging out. when she came home from her midterm, they were hiding. she didn't even notice until bry came out and hugged her! it was so wonderful! she was so happy. one of the best birthday presents i've seen!! but more on brianna for her real birthday tomorrow!
we had a family dinner last night (edmunds, mckinnon, and aebischer dinner). having our parents there added to the crazy funness (doubt that's a word...)
we didn't take pictures though. sorry there isn't photographic documentation of last night to break up all the text!
saturday afternoon we had a family lunch for my nana's 70th birthday. i had cousins come down from sacramento and cousins from lakewood come surprise her. it was a dream! but more on her for her real birthday on tuesday!
tonight i got to have a good little chat with my home/far away best friend kim, who's in texas for school. i love her so much. we live life through each other! it's sad we're far away, but i love her and love talking so much. she is such a blessing in my life! talking with kim gives me time to just breathe. which is so necessary! and i promise i'm not saying that just because i know she'll read this. it's true!
this week is low stress, and high celebration. my prayer for you is that this week gives you time to just breathe also. and that you're able to find something to celebrate each day, because we're so blessed and have so much to celebrate!
i do have a few pictures to share..
