A Wonderful Weekend

The weekend was awesome.  It took several years for Jonathan to grow into himself, and several years for the two of us to accept each other as we are.  He is quite an amazing adult, and makes my husband (his dad) proud.

Friday night, we chilled and visited.  Jonathan played some tunes for us (as seen in my previous entry) and we just hung out.  Saturday morning, we got up early and headed out.  Brett was too tired from work to join us, and we missed him, but we still had fun.  We went to City Market and looked around a bit.  Then we went to Super Flea (the worlds biggest trashy garage sale, sort of) and saw everything from bongs to tarantulas and scorpians to trashy Tshirts.  After that, we had lunch at On The Border.  All of it was awesome.  Saturday night, we played Trivial Pursuit with Tammy (my best friend) and Greg (her husband).  It was Jonathan's first time at this game, and we had a lot of fun.

Sunday, we just chilled out and watched Nascar (Jr. was robbed!) and football (I should kill the guy than injured LJ!) and ate too much and relaxed too much.  Jonathan was very happy to have the chance to see my Mom and Dad, my Aunt Charlene, Pat, and my nephew Arick.  He was really happy.  When we told him goodbye last night, he looked happy, but I'm never sure.  He left this morning, and his grammy (with whom he's living right now) said he'd never sounded happier.  That makes me smile.

I'm happy, and I'm chillin'.  And one more thing:  A big ol' hug to Russ, because I KNOW that not EVERYONE had a great weekend.  I wish I could share mine.
