Fun filled weekend ahead!

I'm excited about this weekend. Usually, Bennett and I are at home while Stanley is out hunting, fishing, or shooting his bow at competitions...one day he believes he will be a "professional hunter." Is that even a real job? HaHa! Anyway, this weekend is going to be a blast full of family time!

For starters, my momma is coming into town to stay the weekend with us. To some, that may sound awful, but to be it is a true blessing. I never understood why my mother loves me so much until I had a child of my own. It's like there is this special bond that wasn't there for me before. For example, while I was pregnant I wanted to be around my sister all the time and my momma kinda, well, to be honest, got on my nerves. But now, I want my momma all the time. It's really hard for me to explain...all the mothers out there understand I'm sure. Anyway, I am my parent's only child that doesn't live within 30 minutes away from them. My brother and sister still live very close to my parents. Me, the baby, had to move away. Part of me really regrets that. I miss them so much and I wish more than anything that I could be close to them all the time. My mother is the type of mother that respects your privacy and wouldn't be in my hair all the time...unlike my in-laws who are CONSTANTLY in our business. She stayed with us for about a week and a half when Bennett was born and she was helpful, not intrusive. I just love her and can't wait to spend some time with her!!! Oh and she gets to spend time with her newest grand baby!!! Bennett will enjoy it I'm sure!

AND, this weekend, all four of us are going to an alumni rugby game at our (Stanley and I) alumnus. Stanley played football his first two years at Western Carolina University and then for the next three years (yes, he was on the 5 year plan) he played rugby. It is a brutal sport...a mix between soccer and football with no pads. Pray that he won't be injured during the game. The old boys play the current rugby team. This could be a bad thing! Check out this video of rugby! Even though it is so rough, I LOVE IT! I enjoy watching it of course. We are going to pack our bag and stay all day at our old university and play some rugby!!! I'm excited!So, this weekend is going to be a blast!

Oh, and my friend Amy's birthday is tomorrow so that is another reason to have fun! :) I hope that your weekend is just as nice!!!

**Please say a prayer for a dear friend from high school, Mike, who lost his mother this week.**
