ok moving on, we finally inch our way out of Maricopa only to get pummeled by a rainstorm so our lovely 3 ½ hour trip took just under 6 hours so we pulled in after midnight and just crashed. Luckily for Tim he had to wake up at 5 a.m. to go to work with his dad, so I decided to go help my dad pack and move some things, so our labor day was full of just that.
I work for a few hours until I started to become offensive, so I took a very long, long, long, shower and went shopping. I got really carried away but my dad decided to pay me for helping him so I ended up blowing $100 or so but technically it wasn’t my money.
OK I know I have a serious problem if only there was like a program for shopaholics in denial, oh wait I think they made a movie about me. So I of course had a fantastic time, and when I got home Tim was an adorable grease monkey, and then he turned to me and said the most beautiful words that could ever leave this gorgeous mans lips, “I need to go shopping.” I of course did my little happy dance and we went to Walmart were I bumped into Denise and her brothers, and she told me she was moving to the Virgin Islands—Denise I’m totally jealous, but I still love you. The rest of the night gets fuzzy, so it must have been so fantastic I don’t even remember.
Saturday we ate at La Casitas, it’s our tradition, and then my family had this huge party to celebrate me coming to visit and invited all my aunts and uncles and cousin and their kids, and there was food, and games and chocolate.
I love going to Pima not only does it have breath taking views, fresh air, free babysitters, loads and loads of wonderful memories, but it’s also the closest I get to feeling like a celebrity. People have parties for you, give you gifts, go wild and crazy with hugs and affection just because you walk into the room---I once even got a butt grab yeah I know. Lavern and Shirley, in Pima every body really does know your name.
Ok maybe I just have an overactive imagination, and I’m sure my family wanted to coordinate a get together for other reasons then just me coming to visit, although what other reasons do you need. So the party was awesome I even got to have the last piece of chocolate cake.
Sunday we did the church thing and I got to visit with some really amazing old friends and see new babies and even got hit on by the adorable neighbor boy, makes me laugh I’m probably old enough to be his mother.
Moday came and went, we went to the movies and packed our car and we almost didn’t have room for the kids, because of my shopping spree and all the gifts we were showered with—I could have survived leaving the dog. It felt like Christmas.
We stopped in Gilbert to visit with my prego sister-n-law, she bribed me over the phone with brownies—girl knows my weakness, and when we got there she had boxes of clothes for the girls and we honestly didn’t have any room so Kiora said she would hold them on her lap.
We stopped at “In and Out Burger” and when we got home we unloaded the car and I crashed onto the coach and Tim put the girls to bed, and surprised me with a candle lit bubble bath. AH I was exhausted. I think I need a vacation from my vacation.
Thanks to Everyone for all our many many gifts and for keeping our bellies full of delicious food. And here’s a shout out to my little old town of Pima—I love you man
