- I learned never schedule a trip to Tri-Cities for only a week, you'll only be left wishing you could stay longer
-I love that my brother is now a mature high schooler. The poor kid...those high school years can be the worst of times and the best of times. He got asked to speak at his Moving Up ceremony and I was SO proud of him. He's such a great kid and I look up to him in so many ways (literally, because now he's now taller than me, I can't believe it!) Sometimes I still see him as that 5 year old who would chase me around the house and I could dress him up in my dance costumes to make him cry. Good Times.
-I love my family and all that they do for Marcus and I. They all took a day off work to spend time with me, even my extended family! I am very blessed and loved. Thanks Mom and Dad for a great week filled with good dinners! -I learned (was reminded, cause I already knew) that I have some of the greatest friends who will always be there for me (like talking to me till 2AM on my one year anniversary because I am away from my husband). They are the type of friends I can hangout with even AFTER high school is over; yet when we're together it feels exactly the same.
-I learned that my in-laws are very forgiving. I didn't get to see them nearly as much as I wanted to (*cough* gas prices!) but they were still very understanding. I'm still kicking myself for not getting a chance to see four beautiful girls and a handful of Henry kids. I'm also bummed Marcus and I missed out on the camping trip...luckily you can go here to read all about it though!
-I also learned that Jen was in Pasco for 12 hours too? Yeah, I missed out on that too. Sorry Jen!
-I loved having time to finish reading this book. I won't spoil anything, but it was good to finally have some time to finish it.-I learned never to miss your flight at the airport. On a non-stop trip that was suppose to take 7 hours to get back, actually ended up taking 14 hours when I had to ride standby through Dallas. What a pain!
-Lastly, that I loved and missed my husband! Although it was a great week (especially when a dozen roses were dropped off by my mother-in-law from Marcus), it was a good feeling to know that someone was waiting back in St. Louis for me!
I'm sad I missed you too, but one week is not long enough for a popular lady such as yourself. I'll catch you on the next trip, maybe. :)
Your brother can not possibly be that big. He was a little boy on a motorcycle, the last time I saw him. I must have not recognized him at the reception.
Glad you were able to spend some time with your family. They are so great. They are the nicest of the nicest people.
It is so true that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Marcus is such a lucky guy and you too for getting those flowers. Awww......
Ok, can I just say you are the cutest girl ever? Because you are.
I am glad you had a fun trip...even if it wasn't long enough.
I finished reading The Host this past weekend and I am floored by how much I loved it. I am just gonna say...I love Ian.
I want to be your blog friend...thanks for de-lurking...you have a greeeeat blog!
Im glad you had a great trip, and made it back safely! It was nice to see you as always!
Sorry we didn't get to see you Ash! But it sounds like you had a busy, busy week. Glad to hear you are safely back in St. Louis. I'm sure Marcus is so glad to have you back.
