Home and Gone - all in one!

Going Home

Have you ever gone back to your hometown for a visit (or in my case – moved back temporarily) and found that you cannot go anywhere with out running into someone you think you know, or someone who thinks they know you? It seems to be that the past couple have weeks have been non-stop with this. I have run into the consummate female athlete from my graduating class, people who went to school with my brothers, people who knew my husband but not me, and everything in between it seems. It is weird and a little awkward. Some I wasn’t really good friends with in high school, some have been classmate’s parents and we all know that half the time talking to someone else’s parent in high school was awkward enough, this is well, the same if not more so.
I am not saying any of this is a bad thing it is just weird. I have also found that I am still, after being back here almost three and a half months now, that I still wonder who I am going to recognize or who is going to recognize me. On the other side of the weirdness it is nice to see that some people have changed (for the better) and that somewhere not the people you thought they where.

A Day of Outings
Today we were running all day! We met up with Ms. Jenni to see the Easter Bunny with Miss Krista (pictures later this week) and to have lunch with these two wonderful women! (I think Jr has a girlfriend here already in Krista! She was sure giving him some serious smooches when we left Chick-fil-a!) No need to worry about this little guy being afraid of the Easter Bunny, nope not at all! He was fabulous the whole time! We even used his happiness on the Easter Bunny’s lap to try to coax a couple other little girls (Krista included) onto the Bunny’s lap. No dice for the most part (I knew the Easter Bunny – so that made things a little easier for us ;) ) I cannot wait for next year when Daddy will get to go with us.
After the Easter Bunny and lunch with the girls, Jr and I did a little shopping at Marshals, a return to Best Buy then to Wal-Mart and Sam’s. We left the house at 930ish this morning and did not get home until a little after 3pm! It’s now a quarter after ten, the little man is asleep and I have homemade spinach dip in a half-made state (the spinach is cooling off) and have picked up to try and help get things ready for the party tomorrow. Two more days until I am a year off from “middle age”! (That makes me feel and sound sooo old!!!) One more sleeps until my party! If you are “in the know” on how to get to the Ranch and you are in the area party starts around 2pm. If you would like to drop in – drop me a line, text me or an old-fashioned phone call and I will give you directions!
