Family Time

This weekend was slow, but wonderful. It is the first weekend in a month (at least) that we haven't had anything planned. So, we decided to make the most of it and just have some down time. It was wonderful.

Saturday was filled, as always this time of year, with football. Although the Huskers lost, it ended up being a good day of ball games. I should add here that, much to the chagrin of other Husker fans, I am also an OU fan and they stomped some booty thus evening out the Huskers' terrible loss. The day was also topped off with a call from my "little" brother that he was bored and was coming out. It ended up being a night of just hanging out and chatting and.... it was wonderful.

Sunday was wonderful, too. Another cousin, Cassandra, called to see if I could watch her daughter while they worked. She originally called thinking I would be in Omaha at my parents' house. When I told her I was actually home, she asked if it was ok to bring her out here. Was she kidding?!?!? ABSOLUTELY it was ok!!! DUH!!! So, she brought Mariah out and oh my gosh, it was so much fun!!! That baby never ceases making me smile. She is just so funny!!! And THEN.....

My Uncle Paul called me. I love my Uncle Paul. My Uncle Paul is one of the most awesome people I know. I really mean that. Words can't explain how much this man means to me. He always has the best stories in the world. He is just plain wonderful. Anyway.... he was on his way to fix my cousin, Tyler's, car and wanted to know if we would be around so he could stop out and say hello. After fixing Tyler's car, he stopped out for an hour and chatted with all of us (Cassandra was here to get Mariah by this time). It was just perfect. I mean perfect. Again, we say it a lot, but our family has to be one of, if not THE, best family in the world. Love doesn't even begin to describe it.

All in all, it was a low key but wonderful weekend home. I hope you have all had just as great of a weekend!!!
