Things have been pretty quite around here for the most part. We had a pretty good weekend. Friday night Haley had one of her friends from school spend the night. (this was her first sleepover with a friend). It was an experience for me and Willie for sure. Haley & Paige have known each other since they were about 2 years old. They reminded me exactly how me and my sister acted at that age. We fought about everything and got along when we found something fun to get into. By the end of the night I think Willie said that would be the last sleepover at his house...LOL. We made it through the night and took Paige back home the next morning.
Saturday we drove to Albany for Willie's aunt's funeral. It was one of the easiest funeral's for me and one of the worst. I say it was easy because I didn't really know her. I had only met her once last year. If you know me well, you know that I am a very emotional person and funerals are very hard for me to get through. But this was one of the longest funerals I had ever been to. She was so young (54) and died of cancer which she had been diagnosed with recently. She had a big part in Willie's life when he was young so I am glad that we went because we don't spend much time with Willie's dad's side of the family. I got to meet a lot of people and Willie got to see a lot of family he hasn't seen in years. I hate that funerals are the only time we get to see some of our distant family but I know how crazy life is. We spent pretty much the whole day in Albany just visiting with Willie's relatives. I also got to see the house that Willie grew up in when he was little.
After we left Albany we headed up north to Throckmorton for dinner with Willie's mom and all the kids. It was Brianna's (willie's little sister) birthday so we had dinner at one of the resturants there in town and some cake. Dinner was great, you don't get that kind of home cooking at any Abilene resturant. We were overly stuffed afterwards but we headed home after that.
Sunday we spent the day cleaning, resting, and even attended a few open houses.
