Home sick...

For Thanksgiving Clark, Brooklyn and I went up to Minnesota to be with my Dad, brother Marc, his wife Jen, and our nephew Maddsen. We had an enjoyable time even though it was freezing...ok maybe not too cold but colder than I am use to or have been in in a long time!
Thanksgiving meal was great thanks to Clark and Jen! I know I know I am spoiled and I LOVE it! We spent the day walking, eating, resting, and relaxing, best way to spend a holiday I might add.


Dad treated us to dinner to Red Lobster, Muffelettas (ha Meagan, I have had it!!) and Outback! Our last night there Dad got a baby sitter for our little ones and we went to Outback then went bowling! It was a lot of fun. At bowling we were messing around and trying to come up with wacky ways to bowl. Jen would do left hand, Marc would bowl from as far back as he could, Clark would chuck a 6 lb ball, and I...yes I put the ball between my legs and went down into the splits and wait for it......wait for it..... I got a STRIKE!! It was great. There was little kids next to us who kept saying "Hey Person, Hey Person, do it again" they kept calling me person and giving me 2 thumbs up!



On Saturday Brooklyn and I went back to my home town Champlin to make some stop-bys with High School Friends and visit special places to me. We first drove by my high school. Oh good times! Don't want to go back but still good to have experienced it. Then we stopped by my friend Erica's house by unfortunately she had already gone back to school. We then made our way to Jill's house. Luckily she was home and we caught up on some time together. Jill is still energetic and sweet. Unfortunately I didn't remember to pull out the camera...stinky.

Then we drove by my high school job Culvers. I worked there for about 3 years, part time. They have really good food and I need to go to the one in Mesa because really enjoy what they serve!


Next stop was Jamie Vortherms. She was one of my best friends in High school. Her Dad answered the door with Kelsey Farmer?? It was great! I remembered to take a picture. I hope to keep in touch with her more now that I have her info.




My old house was also on the list. Good memories here! I wouldn't trade my time there at all, it made me who I am today and I am truly thankful for that! I hope the people living in it now are enjoying it as much as I did.


Last we made a stop by another friend Allie who was also in cheerleading with me. Her close friend, another cheerleader of our time, Vickie stopped by and we caught up on our last 4 years of life. Can you believe it??? 4 YEARS!! All of the girls I saw are graduating college this May and have big plans for the future, if not I know they will! It was great seeing them. Although it was kinda weird for me to be married, have a kid and be a stay at home mom while they are off at college! After making our trip around the city I kinda got homesick. Nostalgic really....


Well all in all our family of three enjoyed our time in cold old MN and are looking forward to spending more time there in the future! Thank you Dad for giving us a great Thanksgiving!! We love you much. We enjoyed time with Marc, Jen, and Maddsen!!
