Goin' to the "Q"

It was fun to be with our family this past weekend. It’s always such a wonderful thing when you find another family that you can meld so well together with and bond so tightly with, that you consider them just like a part of your own family. Seriously, everyone gets along with everyone and we’re all the bestest of friends. The Dad’s are like two peas in a pod, the Mom’s are practically like sisters, and all of us “kids” get along so well it’s like we’ve all grown up together! It feels great to have people like this in your life. If you have a relationship like this, you will know exactly what we’re talking about. They always say that blood runs thicker than water, but in this case, we know that is definitely not true.

So in case you are wondering, we (Mom and Dad Kelly, and us) headed out to Albuquerque this past Memorial Day weekend to spend time with the Mangum’s. The boys had a blast bonding and doing guy things - A baseball game, shooting guns at the gun club, playing hours of Guitar Hero, doing jam sessions on the drums and guitar, and doing all the other fun things that boys do. =) The girls had a blast shopping, doing lunch, hanging around snuggled under blankets talking about girl stuff, playing games, watching fun stuff on TV, making the BIG fun Mexican dinner, and just enjoying their time together. The only bummer the whole trip (other than the fact that Brian and Becca couldn’t go) was that we were supposed to have a “pool party” out in their pool in their backyard sometime while we were there, but every day wasn’t quite warm enough to get in. Well..... we take that back. It was sunny and quite hot the day we left. Of course, right? ;)

We’d post pictures from this weekend, but can you believe it? We didn’t take a single one! For the first time in a long time, we took our camera and didn’t even bother to use it. Luckily for us though, Erynn snapped a few pictures before we left, but we’ll show those another time. ;)

We couldn’t have asked for a more fulfilling, fantastic weekend. A weekend that passed just as quickly as we thought it would.
