A Visit

What I Was Thinking . . . was how much I love my entire family. I had the opportunity to go to Las Vegas this weekend and see my mom and dad, my sister and her family (along with her new grandbaby) ... yes, my little sister is a grandmother before me, and so many more extended family members. It was just a nice weekend. The purpose was to attend Grandma Bare's Memorial Service; what a beautiful service. Going back to our home church in Vegas (where I attended since 4th grade, where Stewart and I met and married and where all three of my children attended Nursery) and seeing friends and family that I grew up with was wonderful. It's been 15 years since we've lived in Vegas. All the kids are grown up and getting married and having babies of their own. It makes me miss those times so much! We used to have all kinds of people come to our house every Friday night for a Bible Study and pizza and they would bring their kids to play with our kids!!! Most of my youth group married each other which resulted in most of the church being related somehow ... lol! My kids call some Aunt and Uncle who, theoretically are not related, but maybe in a round about way they are. Kelsi's boyfriend, Bodi, came with us to Vegas and we tried to explain how everyone was related .... not sure if he kept up with all of it, but I think he enjoyed himself. They are all just great people, great friends and great Christians. I love the life that God has blessed me with ... that's what I was thinking.
