For quite some time, we'd had a Marriage Conference on the calendar for Saturday, February 20th. I had talked to Mom about keeping the girls, and she really wanted them to go to church with her and Dad on Sunday as well. After the last couple of weeks around here, I was looking forward to the girls being with Reesie and Papa! Mom graciously offered to have the girls spend Friday night and Saturday night. So,we took the girls over to Americus on Friday morning and picked them up in Cordele at lunch on Sunday. It was wonderful! Kevin and I really enjoyed having our house to ourselves on Friday night. We cooked Chicken Fettuchini Alfredo and broccoli. It was delicious! And we were able to have an entire conversation over dinner! What a blessing that was!
Then on Saturday morning, we headed over to the UGA Conference Center to join about 500 other people from the surrounding areas as we were entertained by Dr. Kevin Leman. He is the author of The Birth Order Book, Sheet Music, Have A New Kid By Friday, Turn Up the Heat, and 30-something others. He was a great speaker and said some things that others are not willing to say!
Saturday evening, we enjoyed a relaxing dinner with some great friends and then dessert back at our house. Although I didn't get anything struck off of my "To Do" list, the weekend was a great "breather" from life as we know it now and a much needed time of just me and my honey! Thanks so much, Mom and Dad! You were a blessing to Kevin and I this weekend!
Now it's back to the real world...........as Ty Pennington would say, "Welcome home sweet children, welcome home!"

I love the last picture. It makes me feel normal. I could do a whole post of pics of my house right now that look demolished. Good to see it's not just me. Now--off to clean it up:)
