Ok...so last Friday was my last day of work before the summer vacation. My sister and her kids arrived to help prepare for my Dad's big surprise party at my house. We worked our butts off to have everything just the way we had pictured.
Our hard work paid off! Dad was surprised and everyone had a great time. My Dad doesn't have a lot of friends but what he lacks in quantity he makes up for in quality. I think that is a true sign of a life well lived. True friends!
Most of the guest left on Sunday...Monday my sister, Dad and I took the kids to the Royals game for my nephew's birthday. Sunday evening my mom and Aunt Julie ended up coming over and we watched a movie. Tuesday morning was here before I new it and my house was a train wreck! I can not remember the last time that my house was such a mess.
Here I sit on Wednesday night and I am finally beginning to make progress...slow...but sure! So for five days now my house has been a place of love, celebration, friendship and mess! Fortunately I have realized in life that somethings are more important than others. In this case love, celebration and friendship are far more important than the mess.
