My parents are visiting!

My parents got into town this morning. We have had a great visit so far, and they’ll be here tomorrow, too!

Last night we had friends over (with whom we endeavor to get together every week at least once) and got playing a game and they ended up staying over (they live an hour away) because the game ended so late. We had a blast! We had breakfast for dinner last night and doughnuts (Krispy Kreme!) for breakfast.

After breakfast, my parents arrived and my mom brought in a bunch of books my brother had sent, and a Queen Size mattress & box springs! I am excited about having the extra space (even though it doesn’t fit our current frame after all, but we can work around that!). We sat outside for a little while after that, and about 10ish my parents went to get something to eat.

Our friends ate lunch with us and then they left a little after noon. It was great to have them here as long as they were, though!

I threw together a pasta salad that turned out pretty good – I need to add some cucumbers to it tomorrow – and then Nate & I took a bit of a nap. About 4ish, my parents came back (we were having a picnic around 5 at the park) and Nate & I got up so we could go.

The picnic was very good and my mom got some video of the kids feeding the ducks. After we ate and visited a bit, they went back to the hotel while we came home, and about 7ish my mom came back over and we played some games until about 10. My mom said she was leaving (but would see us at church tomorrow) but instead she & I ended up talking in the driveway until midnight! It was really great to spend time with my mom, though, even though it is late.

And, since it IS late and I have to get up tomorrow… I shall go now. Good night!
