wonderful weekend

my vacation weekend has come and gone and it was absolutely wonderful! winger is one awesome town. square, booty and i had the best time hanging in winger and with nate and his family. i have never met such nice people. saturday square and i rolled into town and watched the parade of tracters and various floats. then we met up with nate and hung around town before heading over to his house for food and games. we are now addicted to the game washers and norwegian golf. especially booty! supper was relaxing as we sat around and ate and talked. nate tried to get me riled up yet again...he knows he does such a good job at it, too! after that we headed back into town for the dance. we met nate's friends and just had an all around good time. nate and booty took on the mechanical bull. all though they pretty much conquered it, in the end, they were pretty bruised up...i think i can still hear booty's squeals of pain every time she moves.

that night we all slept out in nate's family's camper...it was an interesting night. the next morning we woke up to booty's singing. if we had more energy i think we would have pounced her but we were pretty groggy. we trekked back into town for a pancake breakfast which was really good and filled us up. we all attended church that morning and then square, booty and i headed back to nate's house to relax and play the outdoor games while him and his brother helped out over at the vietnam moving memorial wall (yup, it was at the winger centennial...smallest town the moving wall has been to!). after that, it was time us girls hit the road. this past weekend was so relaxing and fun. i was so glad that i could put my life on hold for a weekend and just enjoy life for once and have some fun. us three girls miss winger. we love that town now and can definetly see why nate is speaks so highly of it! we're going back! nate's family was so nice and really inviting. they invited us to spend the night at their place, feed us, and invited us to come back. we saw where nate gets his sarcasm from; it was double the sarcasm weekend with nate getting his brother in on our "joke." great fun. can't wait to go back.

and that brings me to today, my birthday. twenty years ago, i was born. i'm a score old and no longer a teenager. time flies by so fast. i don't feel old, but i cherish every day; your younger years go by so fast. i've lost all my innoscence since i am no longer a "kid." but, however, i know i will still be called one...probably for the next 20 years to come! ugh....

so far the b-day has been wonderful. went to swim practice this morning and played games with my kids, i think they had fun. relays and swimming with me...woohoo! we played this contraption i made up where i had all these events in a hat; some were hard some were down right stupid. one of my girls had just won the last event so it was her that had to pick the next event and the person swimming it. the event she picked was the 100 backstroke and i asked her who she wanted to swim it. in a heart beat she said, "you!" i looked at her and said, fine, i'll do it. so i went to pick my competitor's name out of the hat and lo-and-behold...i picked her name! it was pretty funny, we all had a good laugh. and i kicked her butt. so all was good. then i feed them cupcakes and juice. with the younger kids we just did races and relays and then had free time and then they got their cupcakes and juice. then i got ready for the second job and my boss took me out to eat for chinese, my fav. my co-workers came with and afterwards we went shopping for "office supplies." we were all told to pick out a snack for the office...we now have pop, popcorn, hot cocoa and m and m's. then it was back to the office were i'm working away...yeah. tonight...well, somethings planned...not sure if i should be scared or not. i know that there is something going on but no one will tell me what it is....hmmm...i need to be home at 6:30 though, so we'll see. i'll have to go get my car washed in my spare time.

have a wonderful day!
