Observations: It is nice to look around our house and see that it is coming together. There are less and less boxes around as we work on assimilating our belongings. The fact that it is now more orderly makes it much easier to entertain company. I do not need to spend as much time preparing for the visit and I can relax once our company arrives.
Overheard: So many conversations today and just so much to pay attention to. It is good fun having Mark's sisters visit because I can listen to stories from their childhoods. This visit was no exception and as usual, conversations turn to reminiscing about their mom, dad and childhood. Nothing specific stands out, just lots of stories.
Gratitude: Really grateful that Susie and Don decided to stop for an evening before heading back to Illinois. I love spending time with Mark's family. We celebrated family, shared a beer at our local brewery and then lingered over a home cooked meal. Wonderful!
Favorite Moment: It is hard to select just one moment but I think it would have to be our visit to Iron Hill and introducing Susie and Don to our favorite manager, Jason. Good fun! Great beer! Great Food!
