Hello, people of the internet! I've been on vacation this week, and LET ME TELL YOU WHAT:
It was glorious.
I have had such a wonderful week, that I don't even know what to say.
Monday was my birthday and I did absolutely NOTHING. Not a thing. I was lazy and didn't do a single chore that wasn't completely necessary. I went to my Ma Ma's house, ate chicken & dumplings and blueberry-lemon cheesecake, and had a super fun night with my family.
Tuesday was my 7th wedding anniversary. Josh, the kids, and I went to Metropolis Public Library's Fall Reading Program night. It was SO much fun! They had a taco bar, and coloring, and prizes. I read my books to the kids, met family members for the first time, and had an all around great time. After the Library, Josh and I dropped off the kiddos and went out to watch Kingsman: The Golden Circle. We were absolutely thrilled with the movie (and even happier to have a date ALONE.) By the time the movie got out, it was nearly 10pm on a Tuesday, so dinner was kind of cancelled. Instead of steak, we ended up getting Arby's, which was pretty dang good.
Wednesday was super busy. I visited my former elementary school, Pope County, for the day, and spoke with ten classes about my book. I read to each one, handing out my new bookmarks and stickers to the little ones. The kids were SO awesome to hang out with for the day! They are a super smart bunch of kiddos and had so many wonderful questions. My favorite part was asking them what they wanted to be when they grew up, and hearing all of their stories. They're so creative!
Thursday, Jason had an appointment with the ENT. Poor baby has had trouble with his tonsils since he was a tiny thing. This year alone, we've battled five cases of strep throat. So, it looks as if the big bad tonsils will be coming out in January. ☹
Friday, we had planned on going to the bowling alley, but Jase and I didn't feel very good. Sinus and tonsil problems run wild on my side of the family, and we were both really feeling the weather changes. So, we had a nice quiet day. Although, I did manage to finish repairing the wall the dogs had chewed up lol.
Saturday was a boy-filled free-for-all when Noah had a friend over to stay the night. It was nothing but Minecraft and Nerf gun wars. The boys had a blast! But overall, another nice, not-so-busy day.
Sunday, we had a nice family day trip. We made our way to Sikeston, MO, to go outlet shopping and eat dinner at Lambert's. It was a SUPER long and tiring day, but a very good one. I started on my Sunday comic when I got home, but I was too tired to finish it, so it'll probably be up tonight or tomorrow.
I'm feeling so very blessed to have had such a wonderful week! But, I'm also very glad to be getting back to a normal schedule. I'll be back with more updates ASAP, so stay tuned for more.
Always keep adventuring!
