A fun…but busy weekend

Well it is Monday, Memorial Day! ¬†This has been a long but very fun weekend. ¬†James, Ruth, and I left Thursday at 3:30 to head up to San Francisco for the Family Gathering in honor of Grandma Margie. ¬†We got to Mom and Dad’s house around 11:30 pm and headed to bed. ¬†We were all tired from the drive, we had hit traffic in LA.

On Friday morning we were up around 7:00 am and on the road by 9:00 am. ¬†We were heading up to Oroville where the Family Gathering was going to be. ¬†We took our time on the trip and got in just before 1:00 pm. ¬†We then started getting things ready for Saturday. ¬†We went to the store, printed pictures, cleaned the house, organized food, took a walk, and played with Melissa. ¬†We had a great time and were all ready for the next day. ¬†

On Saturday morning family started to arrive at 11:00 am. ¬†We had a great turnout, about 75 people showed up to honor Grandma Margie. ¬†It was great to meet family members that I hadn’t gotten to before. ¬†Being with Melissa and the rest to the family made the whole day perfect. ¬†We left there around 4:00 pm and enjoyed a quiet evening at home. ¬†

Of course on Sunday we had church and the a Memorial Day church picnic. ¬†It was freezing and no one had the proper clothing so we went to Target and found absolutely nothing to help keep us warm. ¬†We headed to the Giant’s Dugout… a store that sells only Giants gear. ¬†We found sweatshirts, beanies, and jackets to keep us warm. ¬†Then we headed to the park. ¬†It was a lot of fun even if it was really cold. ¬†We got home around 4:00 pm and the siblings started to go through old pictures with their parents…Melissa and I both took a nap. ¬†James fixed dinner and dessert. ¬†We enjoyed spending time together as a family.

Today we are going through more pictures and having Bar-B-Qued porkloin for lunch. ¬†We are also going to make ice cream. ¬†James, Ruth, and I plan to leave around 2:00 pm and head back to LA. ¬†I have really enjoyed being with the family.

Melissa has entertained us all… she will sign words or say them. ¬†She now signs and says Auntie and Uncle. ¬†She also says Grandma and Grandpa. ¬†She is a charmer and so cute. ¬†I love her and am really going to miss her. ¬†I am glad that we got a lot of pictures of her. ¬†I also got video footage of her playing with all of her aunties and uncles. ¬†

It has been a great trip. Pictures will be up soon. ¬†I will let you know.

Happy Birthday, to Me!

Well I am 23 today! I am very thankful for the 23 years the Lord has aloud me to live on this earth! I am looking forward to all the gifts and cards all my readers will be sending me. jk ¬†

I figured it would be fun to put up a pic from my senior year in High school and a pic of what I look like today! ¬†By the way, the little girl is my¬†niece, not my daughter! ¬†:)
