Finally, the long weekend is here! I can’t really complain, I didn’t go to work on Friday. Wade and I took the day off to look at houses. Daniel drove over from Huntsville and got in just in time for dinner. The three of us realized we hadn’t seen King Kong and decided to go…

The last stop for us was my Grandmother’s house. The family has grown considerably in recent years and we now have little ones running around. This was the first year we decided to downsize the gift giving. We drew names, but excluded the grandparents. They still wanted to get everyone a present. My grandmother makes…
