My Wonderful Weekend Home

I think that i am just now recovering from my incredible weekend home. It was packed full of fun, laughs, excitement and reuniting. These are the weekends when i wish that there were more then just 24 hours in the day.

It started when my WONDERFUL mother took the day off to come to ra-cha-cha (that's rochester for you folks that may not know) to come and get me. Why did she have to get me some might ask, well...that is because i don't have a drivers license...yes folks, i am 24 and can't drive alone...but that is another story. SO she arrived around 1 and we took off for Allegany. We had a great ride home catching up cause we hadn't talked much in three weeks since my cell phone is MIA...i don't want to talk about that either... When we arrived, i reunited with my beautiful TWIN sister. We took some pictures with her AWESOME new camera and waited for my oldest sister to come home. After she arrived, we waited for my dad to come home so we could all pile in our mini-soccer mom-van and head out to my brothers Senior Night Soccer game. What happens on sr. night is all the senoirs are announced and escorted onto the field with thier parents...my brother SPECIFICALLY asked that we not go on the field with him...not sure why, but we honored his request and loudly cheered from the side lines. He started the game and did an increadable job. He definatly got all the athletic genes...rach and i were bench warmers AND DARN GOOD AT IT!
At the game, we ran into a few old friends, that back in our high school days, we played soccer with. I also ran into my soccer coach. It was awesome to see him, that man will always hold and special place in my heart. So after seeing him, we caught up with our good friend brooke, and chatted with her till Jaime came, then out of no where our friend April walked up to us with her to ADORABLE kids. I hadn't seen her in YEARS, i want to say about 3 or 4 if not more. Since the game was almost over, we made plans to meet up with her later. She called our friend CuCa ( her real name is Jessica) and we spent the ENTIRE evening catching up in Applebees.
The next day, My two sisters and my brother and I packed into the Mini Van once again to do some furniture shopping. That evening we family, minus my brother who had a date....not ok with that but whatever...went to the movies to see FLIGHTPLAN. i had already seen it once and loved it both times. i totally recomend that movie. After the movies, rach and i went over to Jaimes to meet, yes, EVEN MORE friends that we had ran into on our shopping adventures in good old walmart. Walmart in allegany is definatly the best place to find someone that you went to high school with...Sad but true. We carved pumpkins and talked all night. It was like we were young again...sigh...
Sunday, I went to Allegany Baptist, home sweet home, and you will never guess what happend....YES....YOU GUESSED IT. I saw MORE people from my high school days. I couldn't beleive my eyes when i walked in and saw Jon. I went to church with Jon my whole life and he is like brother to me, and like a son to my parents. It was so good to see him. So he and our friend Eric, and our pastors daughter, kristen came over and had lunch with us and played "SCENE IT" It was Allison, rach and i against Jon Eric and Kristen. needless to say, the "freer's" kicked BUTT!
Shortly after that rach and i were on the road back to good old ra-cha-cha to meet up with our good friends, and newly engagned (just thought i would throw that in there in case you missed my last two blog entries) friends, John and Amy. We went out to friendly's and, as john liked to put it, overate. But it was so fun. Then they came over and spent a little while longer visiting.
Rach stayed the night, and then after a wonderful weekend, together, we had to say goodbye. I wish that she could have stayed forever, and i know that it was hard for her to go, but rach, remember how much i love you and we will see eachother again soon. I think about you everyday and pray for you too. I had a wonderful weekend with you...buck up camper... :)

And that's all folks...i don't anticipate another weekend like that anytime soon...
