Time with the "whole" family

                                        
                                          What a weekend it was!  As you can see from the title we had family come into town and you guys proably know who it was if you are a follower of mine from Dillards or the mall.  But no it wasn't Aunt Karla, or uncle Rick, or any of them it was James and Joy.  We had known that Joy was coming in for a few months because her mom was getting remarried but we had no idea that James was coming also and he sure did surprise us when he walked in the door.  I guess you are wondering what we did ect and I do have a lot to say besides that so I guess this will be one of my mini post collections again. 
                                    It has been awhile since I had done one of those collections hasn't it?
                                                    (Friday) Surprise!
                                                       Well the good part of the day was just doing the usual, watching movies, trying to work on my novel, which can be a hassle at times and texting a new friend of mine who is a stay at home mom and of course wanting to do laundry but can not at times because there's clothes in the washer, or there's no detergent or softner but then when it came close to when I knew Joy's flight would come in I text her she gave me an update saying she had the rehersal and then of course the wedding Saturday and that she would come to our house Sunday and spend the day since her flight didn't leave till 5:30 pm.  But anyway later we were surprised that James had also came in when he walked in the house Friday evening instead of going to the rehersal dinner with Joy.  Everyone was surprised espcially mom but Onyx had beat her as far as greeting James first.  He was the first to lather James's face with kisses and hugs but yes we each got our turn.
                                             (Saturday) A very special birthday, expirementing with a computer
                                                      As far as James and Joy we didn't see them at all during the day because of the wedding but they did come over afterwords to spend the night and to hang out.  But anyway Saturday was Jess's birthday and I after sending her a text saying happy birthday I couldn't help but think of her all day and what a true and loyal friend she has been to me.  I couldn't help but feel a little bad because I didn't get her anything but our family doesn't really do gifts on birthdays for some reason.  Don't get me wrong  there will still be some gift giving but not as much as I've seen in other familys.  For some reason people like to give "me" gifts for my birthday then anyone else's and I feel like a spoild little brat.  :( 
                                            Yes I did feel like I did get something special.  Mark got a new lap top computer and therefore is handing over is old one to me.  Saturday was the first day that I really got to go on it and really expirement and get the feel of it but he said techniqually "it's not yours yet until it's all cleaned out which it's not but it soon will be.
                                        (Sunday) All day family fun, early birthday dinner
                                             You wouldn't believe it but this was my favorite and my least favorite day both?  Is that even possiable to like and dislike a day?  But anyway it was my favorite because this was the day that we all mom, Nathan, Hailee and I really got to spend time with James and Joy before they left.  We played games on our smart phones and  mom had made fondu which is James's absolute favorite along with a salad, and cheesy potatos.  He always recemends it as his birthday dinner.  His birthday is on the 8th this month.  I also love it when we have fondu because our family sits together at the table and interacts with one another when normally it's the opposite.  But it was my least because after the dishes were cleared and clean they had to go to the airport which meant goodbye. :(
                                     (Today) First blog post on different computer
                                      This is the first time I blogged on "this" computer.  I like it but I notice that there is no spell check on here and I must admit there are times when I DO HAVE a brain freeze is what I like to call it and I don't know how to spell a word for a certain time so I apologize if any of the future posts I blog on here have spelling errs.  Trust me I don't get brain freezes that often :)  well that's all for now till next time.
