So, I guess I should start with Friday night. After a lot of sneaking and planning by Becky's roomie, Jenna, Becky spent two hours going around Corpus on a scavenger hunt. Little did Becky know, I was a part of the plan. She showed up to Snoopy's, and there I was waiting to surprise her! We finished the scavenger hunt, then made our way to the final destination... a bonfire on the beach! Oh, what fun we had eating burgers and sitting around the fire talking. I enjoyed meeting Becky's Bible study group, and hanging out with Becky for an entire evening. Did I mention that the burgers were amazing? As the night progressed, we were in need of something to keep the fire going, when I remembered that I had a box full of items I needed to shred. I ran to my car, and spent the next couple of hours burning stuff. It was a blast! I am so glad I could celebrate Becky's birthday with her! :o)
(I will steal some pics from Becky's facebook soon)
So, Saturday my parents and I drove over to U&I and had a delicious lunch. After lunch, we drove out to my Aunt Rose's house. Funny enough, within a couple minutes of us arriving, Phebe and Aunt Dordie showed up. It was great timing! We spent most of the afternoon hanging out and playing SkipBo. How lucky could I be to catch up with everyone?! We headed home later in the afternoon. Once we got there, I got to go through all the items that I had stored on the top shelf of my bedroom closet (yeah!). After a couple of hours of sorting through stuff from the shelf, and going through some of Grandma's things, we cleaned up and ate dinner. We finished off the evening with a movie-- Sherlock Holmes.
But the evening didn't end there for Dad. He got a call in the middle of the night, and had to go fix a problem at work. He didn't make it back home until 630am! So, while Dad caught up on the sleep he missed, Mom and I went to the Easter service. When we got home, I packed up my stuff and we all headed to lunch with GG. Becky graced us with her presence during lunch as well. It was nice to spend some more time with her and to see GG. Oh, and I got to eat a ton of ribs too. Yummy!
I feel blessed to have celebrated the resurrection of Christ with my family and friends. Thanks for making it such a wonderful trip! :o)
