We spent Memorial Day evening with Glen and his family. Glen leaves this week for Iraq for a year. It's hard to believe its been over a years since we went to Hawaii to visit them and now they are back in the states. I knew Marc would want to spend as much time as he could with Glen before his tour began. The two of them went off for a couple of hours on Glen's bikes. You can see the picture's of them on my scrapblog taking off ( see link below). We teased Marc about needing some Excedrin when he returned. He didn't complain any.....so it must have been a good ride. I know he will miss his friend...we are praying for his safe return. We know he is in God's hands.
I spent the evening enjoying the view from the pool while Marc and Glen took a spin on the motorcycles. It wasn't until this morning that I realized there are no pictures of me.
Marc didn't get to barbecue at his own "kitchen" grill, but he somehow made it over to the grill at Glen's home. We warned them in advance that he is known for leaving the food and coming back when its on fire. Sure enough he had to be reminded that the hamburgers were ready (LOL).
Quisha doing what she loves best.
Nicki spent most of the weekend at the water park, then proceeded to spend five minutes in the pool on Monday. I guess she had enough water for the weekend.
Its been a busy weekend...starting with Friday's birthday dinner for a friend. Saturday we chilled a little bit in part because Marc was preparing to preach on Sunday at my grandfather's church. In many way's it was surreal going back to my family's roots. Our friend's Rob and Diane...along with my Aunt and Uncle went with us. My mom met us at church so it was a very special day for me spending so much time with family and friends. We had a nice dinner together and then headed right back to attend a second service with our church. I'm surprised we didn't crash once we got back home. I am beginning to appreciate a slower pace life. As I set by the pool last night it motivated me even more to get some things at home in order. I am looking forward to the work we have planned for the backyard. I could have set out by the pool all night just enjoying it all. The lanterns burning reminded me of our trip to Hawaii...but they also reminded me of the Poly at Disney World. I have been getting a little homesick for my favorite place in all the world. Guess it's time to start planning again.
