Cheers to another year that I get to spend with Mitchell and all the amazing families that get together on Memorial Day Weekend. Its always my favorite kind of days when they are spent at the lake house (and if you know me then you know the lake house is one of my favorite places), but even more when not only are the Hadley's there but their family group that has been together for many years.  Its a full weekend of all these fun families getting together and having the best time. In a nutshell it was four days of being on the boat, wake boarding, ping pong games, running around, volleyball games, yummy food, hanging with friends that I don't get to see all the time, early mornings and late nights, dance parties, relaxing around, and having Mitchell home. It was such a great weekend, and I am still pretty hyped about it all. Even if the weather wasn't the typical warm weather, cold and cloudy was the forecast. I mean I got to wake board in a 3/4 wetsuit which was fun! ...

merry merry Christmas everyone! for those who may not know its been a bumpy year one thing that happen was that my sweet grandma Matthews had a random, scary health problem that left all of us thinking she would not make it. She was in the ICU for a long time, unconscious with doctors with her there day to night trying to figure out what had happen. In a nutshell she finally woke up and is still slowly continually getting stronger and better. We never gave up, we had faith and strength to know that she will come through. It was a emotional roller coaster that was so heart breaking at times. BUT if you know grandma Rita then well she is a strong women that can get through anything and guess what? She was sitting with us enjoying the annual Christmas party.  She my friends is one Christmas miracle This year our location was different but doesn't matter where and when or who the Matthews were all together. We were able to have our little party at her new medical rehab place...
