This past weekend was full of Taulman fun! On Friday night Nathan and I stayed home and enjoyed making home-made pizzas together and then fell asleep on the couch(surprise surprise). We were up early on Saturday to head to his parents to help them move a few more things. This time we went through Nathan's stuff- talk about really cool. It is always fun to take a walk down memory lane together. He showed me his old t-ball uniforms(we kept some just incase we are ever blessed with a little guy), he had all of his elementary school papers that we looked through, then came to basketball stuff....wow- talk about cool. I loved reading the paper cut-outs, seeing his uniforms, looking at his trophy's and listening to him tell stories of his 'basketball days'. It was really neat-and meant alot that he would share that with me. I even told him that he MIGHT have been cool enough for me to wear his Taulman shirts if we would have went to school together..haha ;)
After we finished boxing up stuff that we wanted to keep we went for a run together and watched a little bit of the t-ball games that were going on at the park. fun times.
Later that evening we drove to our good friends Shad and Saras house. They just finished building a beautiful house in the center of the state so they invited us for a little dinner and fishing. When we got there we headed out in their gator and road about 2 miles to a piece of their land where they hunt and fish. It backs up to a beautiful creek. Talk about a blast!!! It was so fun riding in that thing through the shrubs, over trees, down HUGE hills and finally into the creek!!! I was loving it. Nathan and Shad got out the poles and did a little fishing and Nathan caught a pretty good size bass. We could have stayed out there all night but Saras parents called and said a bad storm was blowing in so we should get home. Well....that would have been the smart thing BUT instead we piled back into the gator and headed to another part where there is a pond so they could get a few casts in there too. At this point her parents called again and said 'you have 7 minutes before the storm hits so get home!' We decided we better get going and got back into the gator and raced home. I felt like Dorthy in the Wizard of Oz.... it was crazy. We pulled into the garage just in the nick of time- the winds picked up, the clouds opened up AND it was one wild storm. We enjoyed the rest of the evening by candle-light and the lights of the lighting bugs outside. It was perfect.
The plan was to drive back to his parents that night but Shad mentioned fishing in the morning and that was all it took- hook, line and sinker...we were staying until the morning. :)
The boys were up and on the water around 6, while the girls enjoyed a little more shut-eye. When they got back Nathan was beaming from ear to ear. Who wouldn't be after spending the morning with a professional fisherman taking him out on his sweet boat! They got back to the house around 10 and we made the trip back home.
Sunday the school had a going away party for me. It was VERY nice and I was surprised how many people took time out of their day to come. It was really nice talking and having the opportunity to say good-byes. It really meant alot! I sure will miss them.
Today I went into school and cleaned out my office. That was really bitter sweet. I had to just keep focusing on the future and what God has instore because I was about 1 thought away from loosing it. It seemed like just yesterday I was taking all of my stuff in and making it my own. Some wonderful memories. :)
Nathan is back at work.. they are doing a store re-set tonight so I am catching-up on a few things around the house- tomorrow I have another fun day. I am going on a Chicago Photo Shoot! :)
