What an amazing weekend! They always fly by so quickly but this weekend was lots of fun. I was the event chair for the spring social this year and my mom and sister joined me with some women from my work to take a day trip on Saturday to Wildseed Farms. We had such a great time eating lunch outdoors with beautiful pottery and plants. We even went into a butterfly house with hundreds of butterflies swarming around. I don't get to see my mom and sister too often so it was a real treat. I wish we could have spent more time together. I think we decided to bring out my grandparents since thier such avid gardeners...the more I talked about it I though we could actually fit both of our families in a minibus and spend a day there. I know David's cousin enjoys the outdoors and she'd love the gardening stuff available...hint, hint. 
Sunday we watched my niece's soccer game and celebrated my father in law's birthday and wrapped up the evening with David and his siblings playing rockband all night...they have so much fun with that game! I sort of let it slip this weekend that this year is the year for a little one... I had my last margarita for a while...I think.
I also worked on my mini movie...it's almost done! A while back David mentioned he couldn't remember when we did what so I sort of started a photo show with narration, music and some video clips that kind of tell the history of us. They're so fun to make...it got me thinking what other histories I would like documented.
I've been thinking more about my culture and the history behind where I come from. My grandfather once told me the story of how he met my grandmother and when they decided to have my dad. It totally blew my mind! I only knew my granparents as one thing and never thought about thier struggles and how I came into their lives. I really would love to get our video camera and just capture it. Just walk around thier home and garden and let them tell me all the stories they can. I was telling David I really wanted to do this with his grandmother too since there's so much even he doesn't know about the history of his grandparents. We'll see if I can actually tackle this over the summer.

Oooo, Wildseed Farms, huh? I am definitely looking for a get away, if even for a day! I shall look this place up! :)
ReplyDeleteAh, the last margarita! I remember that one. It was tough one for me. It was just my thing, every time we went out to eat. Good luck to y'all! And the timing will be right whenever it happens! :)
I think the video history is a great idea! I just love to hear about people met. It's so interesting to me. So I would definitely love to see it once it's complete. And it is excellent to work on other histories as well. For so long, I I was going to interview my Grandpa on the war, the Depression, and just his life in general. I took too long and I kick myself for it now!
Have a great week!
