A Slice of Life: Weekends just keep getting better

I know I already posted a blog today, but I told Colin he could have his own post, so here's my other post. This weekend was absolutely fantastic! On Friday night, Jenn was working, so I hung out with my friend Melynda. We felt like being chatty, so we mainly talked, but then we decided to get dinner because Jenn was hungry, but while Melynda and I were eating, Jenn texted me and told me that she got off work early, so Melynda and I went to get her, and we also ran into our friend Brandon. We went to the clubhouse at Melynda's apartment complex, and played pool (kind of) and airhockey, and then we went to the park and played there for a while. After that, we went home and went to bed. This is where it gets even better! At 9:30 yesterday morning, I was woken up by my mom calling me. Her words were: "We're coming to see you, and we'll probably get there a little after 10!" Now, I knew my mom and my dad were coming to visit, I just expected to be awake sooner than that... But I loved spending the day with my family, although I missed my little brother. My parents and I did some shopping (dad got me a blender!) we went out to lunch, did some more shopping, and then we went to Idaho Falls to see my grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins. Mom, dad, and I managed to get a nap in before Uncle Eric, Aunt Melissa, and the kids all got there. We went out to dinner at Chuck-A-Rama, which is a big deal when there are 12 people and 5 of them are 8 or younger. After dinner, we went back to Grandma and Grandpa's house. We played there for a little, and then it was time to go home. Mom and dad brought me home and I hate saying goodbye!! I'm so bad at it!! I came in and put in Singing in the Rain, which is my feel good video. Towards the beginning of it, my roommate's friends came over, and they decided to paint each other's faces. After they were done with that, they commented on how I was the only one who didn't have a painted face. So I was kind of ambushed... But it was fun. I'm so grateful for weekends. They are just the reprieve that I need from the week.
