i was just back home for my birthday weekend and had the best birthday i have had in a while. i went to my sister’s and helped rake leaves on Saturday morning. it was a gorgeous day and i showed the kids how to jump into the leaves. we had a blast raking them up and then falling into them. i got some great pictures of them and was loving their giggles as they kept saying again, again! i also got to visit a little with my dad and watch some football. then that night we went to a restaurant that we used to go to with my grandparents all the time. it is one of those things that is such a big part of my memories growing up. we used to do a lot of family things…like my whole family with aunt, uncles, and cousins. we all went to the same church, celebrated birthdays and Christmases together. i guess that is kind of surprising considering how split everyone is now. it was really great now looking back on it though. i am so incredibly glad that we had that. anyway, we went and the dinner was so yummy and i got to have a piece of awesome pie for my birthday with a candle in it. they all sang happy birthday to me and i just had the best time.
the rest of the weekend was pretty great, just enjoying the time and the beautiful weather. this is gonna be a pretty boring post even though i haven’t posted in a long time. i have started so many but then got distracted. there have been lost of ups and downs the last few months. i am looking very hard for a new job and really searching for what i should do next and when. lots of options right now just trying to decide which is the wisest option to take and when. just because there is opportunity, doesn’t mean it is the right one. that is basically the short version of what is going on.
