Yes, I know I know...some of you are surely saying the first one?? Well, between getting married, going to grad school, finishing a master's thesis, getting our first "real" jobs...life has been hectic these past few years. So we were definitely exciting to go on our first vacation even if it was just to Fort Worth.
We went to go see Will's little cousin Olden graduate (Everyone is soooo proud of him!). Well we were not supposed to leave until Friday afternoon but we ended up leaving Thursday night because Olden's dad, Uncle David, had a heart attack (Keep reading to see how good God is). So we road down there with Will's mom and dad and got there about 2 A.M. Needless to say...we were tired!
Friday, we really did not do much...Jackquline cooked as she is always asked to do because her food is AMAZING! And I just helped her however I could. We really just go to start getting everything ready for Saturday.
Saturday came...Olden's graduation was at 10 AM and it was soooo wonderful to see him walk across the stage! We did not get to see David, his brother graduate 2 yrs ago so we really felt like we needed to make it this one. Olden will be going to school on a basketball scholarship starting in the fall and I am fairly certain he is ready for college (as all hs graduates are)! After the graduation...we ate, chilled with family and just relaxed as much as possible.
Then, on Sunday morning...Uncle David came home!!! It was soooo awesome because he was home just two days after having a heart attack!! And it was such a wonderful surprise to Aunt Rena because he did not tell her he was coming home yet....so when Will's dad brought him through the door, walking on his own, Rena was sooooooo excited!! God is good!
That afternoon we took Kya and Tyrie swimming. Although she is really not sure about the whole swimming thing...we did our best to begin teaching her and Ty how to swim. They did really good and I think they are becoming more comfortable with the water now. We had Olden's party Sunday night and again just got to chill with friends and family! I got to meet more of Will's family and really just got to relax a little bit more.
We came home yesterday and although it was a wonderful weekend...we were so glad to be home.
Here are some pictures from the weekend...
