10 Days Away From Home and Thanksgiving

Kaelyn went to spend 10 days (4.5 days of which were without mommy and daddy) in Longview over the Thanksgiving holiday. I drove Kaelyn to Terrell on Friday to meet my mom and Betty where we made the exchange and I kissed our sweet girl goodbye! I was a little teary-eyed driving away from her even though I knew it would be great for her and for me and Robbie. Of course, Kaelyn didn't seem to notice. She has both KK and Mimi wrapped around her fingers and she was in heaven! Friday night Robbie and I went to the movies to see Harry Potter 7. We haven't been to a movie in such a long time that it was a nice treat. On Saturday morning, we drove to College Station with 10 of our small group friends to cheer on the Aggies against Nebraska! We could not have asked for better weather, food (Wings N More), or a game (Aggies win)!

Our Group

We drove straight to Longview from College Station late Saturday evening to be in town for my grandmother's memorial service on Sunday. It was a sad day, but a time of celebrating her life. We were so fortunate to have many of our small group friends, family and loved ones there to support us! It was also great to see Kaelyn even if it was just for the day! I spent Monday and Tuesday shopping, cleaning house, and doing other things that aren't as easy with Kaelyn, along with enjoying a dinner out with Robbie. On Wednesday, we made it to Longview in the early afternoon and we were so excited to see our sweet girl! She even ran down the driveway to us. I think she was excited! The rest of the week was spent with friends and family enjoying great food and football!
