Super weekend!!

I had an amazing weekend. 

Saturday was my cousins bachelorette party in which we went bowling and then back to her sister's house for games and food.  We overestimated how much people would eat and bought way to much cheese but we didn't know that no one would eat as much as we had put out.  For the sake of not embarrassing any one who was there, joining in all the inappropriate games, we will leave it at this:  It was a fun time with lots of laughs and good food.

Since I didn't get home and in bed until 2, I was expecting to sleep until my alarm rudely woke me up, but I was not so lucky this morning.  I woke up all by my self at 8 in the morning.  I did try to get back to sleep but it was hopeless.  I was awake and not getting back to sleep. 

I went upstairs and had breakfast with my parents.  Good old jam and toast has never disappointed me.  It's just so good.  After breakfast and after getting dressed for the day, I sat in the living room awaiting my ride down to Ponoka.

Kyla was coming to get me so we could join in on cleaning her grandpa's house.  I did show up a little late but soon got to work scrubbing counter tops and walls and dusting and cleaning off chairs.  It was a really fun time with Carolyn, Karla, Kyla, and B.  Kyla and I were talking on the way over there about how silly we all were for agreeing to actually clean up some one else's house but it wasn't bad at all.  It was fun to talk and learn all about the lives of these other people and just having a girls afternoon together. 

After the cleaning was done, we headed back into Ponoka to the local Boston Pizza to enjoy a meal together.  Kyla and I showed up first to reserve a table for 6 and the resturaunt looked empty so we thought it would be really easy to get our table.  But the waitress had to go and ask the manager about it.  She made a bit of a big deal out of it too even though there were only 2 other tables in the entire place that had people in them.  We didn't understand what the big deal was.  She also said we had to share menus.  It's like they didn't want us there.

We all ordered our food and continued to catch up with each other.  It was such a great time.  I was also surprised with some baby books given to me by Karla, Kyla and Carolyn.  And they are such cute little books.  One is about Grover, one is about shapes and animals and the other is about baby's first book.  Super cute and I know Baby J will love to read them. 

Kyla was super awesome as she picked me and and dropped me back home again.  I really appreciate that because if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been able to get down there and back up again. 

And now I am home and almost falling asleep.  As of right now, I haven't talked with Tyler yet but that's just because he was invited over for dinner and probably cards at Kendra's place alone with Jessica, our new nurse friend.  I have some pretty bad heartburn because of BP's which I'm not enjoying so I'll have to do something about that. 

It's so strange to me that a day of cleaning can pull me out of the rut I felt I was in.  Since Tyler left, I've been really missing him and really wanting to just go back home already.  I wasn't fully appreciating being home with my family and friends and I know that today changed that.  I feel renewed and I didn't think that a day of cleaning could ever do that for me.  I think it was the change in surroundings and people and just being busy all day.  It's nice to feel this way again.  It's not that I wasn't enjoying my time home, but I do miss Tyler and being in Bella Bella so being with his family really switched my attitude around.  Thank you ladies for the awesome day.  I really appreciate the time we spent together.
