A Visit with Mom and Nana!

Hey Blog World!

I just had a wonderful visit from my mother and Nana. They came and stayed for about 5 days which included so much fun. I was able to share my life with them, which amazingly enough, means so much to me for them to experience it.

The days started off with Captain N making dinner for us after I picked them up for the airport. What a sweet thing seeing my Mom at the airport. One image I will never forget. Or the image of Nana coming off the elevator. After an enjoyable car ride home, we enjoyed a spectacular dinner and just hanging out.

Saturday consisted of shopping, which resulted in birthday gifts for Captain N and me. Who can argue with getting gifts, but apparently, I have that ability to argue about it, but my mother and father got me some wonderful new clothes. I am so blessed. After a quick visit with friends, Captain N made the second delicious dinner. He is the best cook I know! He made ribs and I made a Caesar salad.

Sunday, we enjoyed church which I was excited because Mom and Nana enjoyed the sermon and songs. I didn't know any of the songs because they were traditional ones, and I have been surrounded by contemporary ones, but it was so good to hear their strong voices singing.

After church, we enjoyed lunch out and a very nice day at the pool. We were so lucky to get 3 chairs together at the pool! What a relaxing time! I loved it! Sunday ended with a nice light dinner of cheese and crackers.

Monday was a normal day with work, but then we got to see one of my mom's bridesmaid's family who I adore. It was so good to see them and see how their life is changing.

Tuesday was BEACH DAY! What a glorious day to go to the beach. We had a really good drive there and back. We enjoyed sitting in the waves and laying out in the sun. A perfect beach day.

Wednesday was sad. I had to say good-bye to them and drop them off at the airport.

I tell you, I LOVE the time I had with them. I enjoyed every single moment with them. I loved talking with them, watching tv, and just doing anything and everything with them. The hardest part of them leaving is not knowing when I will see them again. I love having my mom in the country because since her visit, we have been texting back and forth and talking on the phone.

If you have gotten to the end of this blog post, please remember to treasure every single moment with the ones you love. I know I did, and it is still hard for me to look back at some of the things we did together without getting a tear in my eye. I miss them terribly, but I am so blessed to have them and Captain N in my life.
