You're the Only Ten I See...

Corny, I know, but I can't help myself sometimes.  Here's the weekend recap.

Cam and I (and his little brother and Ritz) headed down to Tennessee this weekend to spend Memorial Day weekend with his family.  Of course, Cam is spoiled and his favorite dessert, banana pudding, was waiting for him when we pulled in driveway. His step-mom also made these phenomenal cookies with chopped up snickers bars in them.  I've just learned the accept the 5 pounds we gain every time we go down there because the food is just so good. It was overall a very well needed, relaxing weekend.  I got a lot of sleep in (which was good because I've been exhausted recently) and did the initial above the line edit (a substantive and grammatical edit, not source edit) of a journal piece, so it was productive as well.

On Saturday, we headed down the lake for the morning because it was supposed to rain that afternoon.  I was really hesitant to go boating as I just got an assignment on Friday regarding an awful boating accident, but it ended up being a lot of fun (and no accidents). Don't you just hate with work starts relating to real life?  Of course, we forgot our camera, but Cam's sister put up these great pictures on her blog already so I am stealing them. Thanks Amber! Cam's nephew, Brady, was too cute and thoroughly enjoyed driving the boat and reminding everyone that he is number 1.

That night we ate dinner at a hibachi restaurant, which I love.  Sunday morning we went to church and then went to brunch in Bell Buckle, TN. It is a cute little town that reminds me of Midway, KY (a restaurant and antique shopping town).  Sunday night we had a big dinner at his parent's house. It was a full house with all four children, their spouses and children, his dad and step-mom, and his grandmother and her husband. His dad recently built a fire pit in the backyard, so we made s'mores around the fire and our brother-in-law played the guitar.


This morning we had a big breakfast and then drove home.  Ritz, our dog, clearly had a great time in the fields and brush because we pulled 17 ticks off of her (and, yes, we do use Frontline religiously on her).  Luckily, most were dead, but it was pretty gross.  We cleaned the house up, did laundry, picked the weeds, and went grocery shopping. 


My goal this week: to blog daily again--I've missed it! Hope you all had a good weekend!
