Alex is still gone, but luckily I have a fun family that entertained me all weekend so I didn't have to miss him so much! On Saturday I went to the Delta Reservoir (AKA The Res) with my grandma, mom, sisters, Aunt Bobbie, and cousins Nick, Danielle, Erin, and Kelly. It was so much fun! The weather was absolutely perfect and there was hardly anyone there. Since I am pregnant I couldn't participate in many activities, but I could watch! My mom and Aunt Bobbie both slalom skied. They were pretty proud of themselves and I was impressed as well. The kids rode a tube pulled by the boat. Nick is a crazy driver and they literally got three feet of air! It was definitely a good time, even though my legs got totally sunburned! I couldn't walk on Sunday, but at the moment they feel much better!
That night we went to the Delta Rodeo. My grandpa was the grand marshall of the rodeo. He was so cute! It was breast cancer awareness night and so my grandma got him a pink pearl snap cowboy shirt. He wore the shirt with his new black pants and black cowboy hat. He looked very handsome! He rode around the arena in a covered wagon while the announcer read a thing about his life. We were all so proud! When he got to the section where we were all sitting we stood up and cheered for him. He cried which is exactly what we expected!
The rodeo was especially fun because I saw three good friends from high school who I haven't seen in a while. One of my favorite people, Avalon was there watching her hubby Travis in the rodeo! I love her and Travis! Travis was my former coworker and Avalon is such a good friend! It was definitely a fun night!
On Sunday I got to talk to my dad! He called from Kuwait and we each got a few minutes to talk to him. He sounds like he is doing well. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful dad! He has sacrificed so much for my family. He has always worked extra jobs and overtime so my mom could stay home with us. He also never misses major events! When I danced in drill team he would always cheer the loudest, always yelling "Go Mariah!" I always felt so loved!
So that was my fun, fun weekend! It would have been more fun with Alex and my dad there, but it was fun nonetheless. As for Alex, he had his own fun this weekend. He went on a little excursion to Palmyra. When he gets home I will post his pictures and tell more about it. He comes home Friday (YEAH!) just in time for his birthday on Sunday! I can't wait to see my cute hubby!

It sounds like a fun weekend, and everytime you talk about your dad on here I cry reading it, it because of people like him that we live in this free country! I love him!
