Quick Weekend

My mom and I took off to Ohio on Thursday after we received a call that one of my uncles passed away. It was a sudden thing, but we were grateful for the opportunity to go. I made arrangements with Nick's mom to watch the boys while Nick worked so that I could go. We left Thursday afternoon driving through the rain. We made it to my aunt's house around 11:00pm. Long day. Friday was the funeral. It was simple, but very nice. He was buried in the cemetery where my grandma and grandpa Smith are buried, so it was nice to visit their graves.

Afterwards, we spent the remainder of the day at family's house eating and talking and having a good time being together.

Saturday mom and I did some shopping. I needed some maternity clothes for the summer. All my summer stuff is too large for right now, so I was able to get a few things. We also stopped a few Ohio State Buckeye stores so that I could get the boys some stuff. I was able to find really cute outfits for the boys, a baseball cap for Tanner, and some shorts and a t-shirt for Nick. Go Buckeyes! We ate lunch with my Aunt Sue and had a nice visit with her. After that, we stopped in to see our longtime friends in Columbus and then it was back to my aunt's house in Marysville. We packed up our stuff in the car (we decided to stay at our friends house in Columbus to be closer to the highway) and headed over to my cousin's new house for dinner. That was a nice relaxing time. We ate some more and just chatted. I love it there because it doesn't get dark until close to 10pm.

Then we left yesterday morning to come back home. 8 hours and we made it, safe and sound. It was good to see my husband and kids again. I miss them every time I'm away. It was a nice little break, but I'm glad to be back with them.
