Girls Get-away

merr and rhonda

Last friday I went to my sisters house in Spring City for some TLC sister-stlye! Rhonda was our host and did a wonderful job entertaining us. We went to dinner at the local steak-house, laughed, cried, and did our best to not talk about the economy and anything else having to do with depression:)


The theme of this year's get-together was 'Love Story'. We all had to write down a version of our "Love Story". Quite the homework asignment. I actually got some involvement from my better half so that helped a lot but I have decided that my Love Story isn't about how we met and while we dated (although that plays a big part). My Love Story started the day we were married and has been writing itself the past 9 1/2 years. Each year is a chapter filled with many memories, both happy and sad, but tells they story of our married lives and our childrens childhood. I obviously only wrote our "How I Met Your Father" (not to be confused with the sitcom, never seen it, but if there are similarities it is strictly coincidence!) story but am excited to sit down and muddle through pics and memories to write my own true "Love Story". You all know by now how intrigued I am with personal histories but I need to get my own on paper so my posterity has proof of where their quirks came from!!



My mom and dad have started writing their own history in storybook form so mom gave us their Love Story chapter. Thanks mom, it is priceless and thank-you Rhonda for helping us remember how lucky we are to have such great spouses!!

(only nursing babies can attend these get-tegothers and we were lucky enough to have 2 this year. landers has is down right and knows who her favorite aunt is, kirb doesn''t care who has him. he's just an easy-goin' kid!)

then there are the camara nazi's. these two are always vying for position. and what is this look crystal has on her face - I will get this flat board to balance on this round ball so we can have a picture! these two have the only group pic available and I have waited a week to post so i could share a group pic, so this is my way of pleading for one!

We had such a great time together and I am looking forward to next year already. Thanks to the hubbies for tending their own kids for a full day. I'm sure you all found it worth your while:) Matt did an awesome job with all four and was quite proud of himself until he read an e-mail from a friend that said ' I am just getting ready to watch the kids for a week so my wife can spend some time with her mom and sisters'. He was greatful it was only one day!
