23 weeks

We spent the beginning of this week in Oklahoma. Well actually it started in Texas and then we drove to Oklahoma. By the time I got there my feet were so swollen it hurt. But I got them raised up and they were a little better in the morning. Yay! I didn't bring my "little" black dress with me, so here's a shot someone got of me hanging out in front of Mom's house.

Being in Oklahoma was a blast. The weather was perfect and Shawn made us all very proud when he graduated. Not that I ever doubted it was going to happen, but still. I love that he did it, and I love that he's been accepted to a University for the fall. Way to go! You're so far ahead of me in that, and I hope you make some wonderful memories.

Uncle Gary, Aunt Mary, Tyler, the Gma's, Chris and Carrie were there with us to celebrate the accomplishment. It was a great excuse to have a mini family reunion. We spent lots of time visiting, went to see one of the 'rents apartment complexes, got to meet the famous Sam and went to the zoo while we were there too. Gman even held a huge snake. He was a little nervous at first, but I'm glad I got pictures of it for him!

We started the drive home on Monday afternoon and after another overnight in Texas we pulled in to the driveway about 11:30 on Tuesday. My ankles had dissappeared again by then, but it was worth walking on them to see my Jason again. Once inside he made me close my eyes before he opened the doors to our newly decorated bedroom and CheesePuff's room. Amazing! I love them both!

Gman did amazing the whole trip. He didn't fuss to much when the DVD player didn't work perfectly in the car, he was listening and following directions, and just proving over and over again what a GREAT kid he is pretty much the whole time.

We ended our 23rd week with a day of rest. After all the travel my whole body hurt, and I couldn't even get up the energy to drive Gman to his dads house. Thank goodness he had the time to meet us half way or I think I would have cried.
