Hmmm...

Caleb and I had a great weekend! We haven't been up the mountain in quite a while, and it is always both refreshing and somewhat of a whirlwind to head up the mountain - but ALWAYS a good time!
This particular weekend was the only weekend all month that I wasn't scheduled to work (though that may change) and conveniently coincided with Memaw's Surprise 80th Birthday Party at the church! The whole thing went off without a hitch and Memaw was thoroughly surprised (or so she says) even though two of her daughters called her in the same week for her party punch recipe.
Knowing we were headed up the mountain this wknd I urged Caleb to get in touch with his dad and paternal grandmother, since I hadn't seen them since just after Christmas and we weren't ure whether they had yet heard the big news. So we met them for lunch and the four of us had a good time chatting and catching up - not nearly as awkward as Caleb had anticipated.
Overall a good weekend.

Last week came some big news though: Caleb wrote my parents a FABULOUS email. I mean, he knew it was a good email, but had no idea it was THIS good! The next day my parents called me and let us know that the budget figure they could offer was, in fact, more than Caleb and I had asked for or anticipated! CHARLESTON, HERE WE COME!

So we are hoping that this coming weekend I will not have to work in order to go spend some time (more substantial amount of time) looking around Charleston, and perhaps meet my mom there, with or without small children. So much fun!
