The first weekend of October we finally headed back to Concord and Albemarle to visit our families, celebrate some birthdays, and attend Derek's high school reunion. It had been way too long since we went to visit. What can I say, though; we had lots of football games to attend ;). On Friday afternoon Joshua and I drove to Concord. We went and picked up my sister and then went to surprise my mom at the school she works at! It was so neat to see my mom's reaction to us being there. She knew we were going to be around for the weekend, but I hadn't told her when we were coming to visit her. I wish I would have had my camera to take a picture of her face and the ginormous smile she had on her face when we walked in the door! I hope (and am pretty sure) she enjoyed her surprise! It was really nice to get to spend some time with my family Friday afternoon. I can't wait 'til we see them again, and I'm so sad we didn't get ANY pictures.
After our fun and too short visit in Concord we drove to Albemarle to meet up with Derek and the rest of his family. Unfortunately, Derek didn't get to see the Miller girls with me. He couldn't get off work in early enough to go with me to see my mom at work, so he caught a ride with his brother. Friday night David, Pamela, Katy, Derek, Joshua and I went to the Albemarle High School football game. Whoa.....flashback. I hadn't been to a high school football in a LONG time. It ended up being a little fun. We left in the third quarter since Albemarle was ahead 49-0. We figured we didn't need to stick around to see who wins. Because of the game Joshua didn't make it to bed until 10:00 that night. He NEVER stays up that late. Usually he wakes up between 6:30 and 7:00 in the morning, but because he went to bed so late he didn't wake up until after 8:00!!!! To say we were excited would be an understatement. Most of the time when he goes to bed late, no matter how late it is, he will always wake up at about the same time.
Saturday was a full day for us. We had a lunch celebration for Derek, David, Pamela, and Ben (Tabitha's husband). They all have October birthdays. We played lots outside and then Saturday night we left the kids with Grandma to go to Derek and David's 10 year high school reunion. We had a great time and enjoyed a date night out. We don't get those very often. On Sunday we got up and went to church and played some more outside at Derek's parents before we headed back home. I love seeing our families and getting to do fun things, but it sure is nice to be home. We are looking forward to going back to visit again sometime soon, though!
Enjoy some pictures from the weekend.
