Family Reunion Weekend

This past Friday night I spent preparing items to take to the family reunion.  I struggled to make up my mind on what to make this time around. Normally I don't have a problem with that decision.  I think it was the fact that I unsure what to make and what to give away.  There was a cake walk that I wanted to make something for plus I wanted to make another dessert.

Saturday was a blustery day.  I got up super early.  I got up before it was even light outside folks!  Yeah try convincing not one but two pugs to get out of their warm beds for a long walk when it's still dark out.  To make matters worse I didn't even feed them first.  I know, how mean!  I didn't want them to get too far off their typical schedule so no breakfast until we got back.  They both thought I was nuts.  So I walked the boys super early then right before we left I took the boys out again.  During those two hours or so the temperature outside dropped drastically. I was freezing!  What I had planned to wear to the reunion got put back in the closet as I pulled out some wintery clothes.  I still didn't choose something warm enough but I survived!  It's not as cold now.  It's back to typical October temps.  But we sure did get a little preview of winter this Saturday.

Not only was Saturday family reunion day but it was also Granny's birthday.  After the reunion some family including us went over to Granny's just to simply hang out with her.  It was fun!  It was a great day!  I love being apart of a new family!  We got home in time to see the last 7 minutes of the ASU game being played at Cowboys Stadium.  So close to pulling off a victory! What ugly helmets they had on! Geez! I must mention I saw people wearing ASU shirts and ASU shirts being sold on Friday when I went to get groceries.  I must admit it was quite exciting!  I remember a time when it was the norm to see ASU stuff all around. Now when I see something ASU out in public I have to do a double take to make sure I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing!

We spent yesterday relaxing while watching football.  I won't mention the Cowboys game.  I could say something but I won't.  I will say this the last time Brad and I went to the mall was with our nephew, we stopped into a sports apparel store and the sales associate made a comment that the Seahawks stuff was "flying" out the door.  Ha Ha! Get it?  Seahawks fly!  Their stuff was "flying" out the door.  I added that poor quality bit of humor just for my husband.  Now when he reads this post after he gets passed the brief mention of the Cowboys he'll laugh! LOL!
