Trip to the Desert

Good morning, everyone!  I had a very fun filled weekend in the desert visiting my sister.  I know my choice of words may make it sound not very appealing, but it was gorgeous!  I was in about 70 degree weather, and it was beautiful!  I got to see cactuses, or cacti, or... well let's just say more than one cactus.  I also learned for every limb they have, it is how many hundreds of years old they are.  I saw five to six hundred year old cacti!  That was mind boggling.  The scenery and landscaping was gorgeous.  It was definitely some eye candy for me.  I had a great visit with my sister and brother-in-law.  They made me feel so comfortable, and I felt like I was in my second home.  When my sister and I get together (when any of us get together, because there are three of us), we can get pretty silly.  We had a laughing fit at the grocery store.  Only the three of us can get in a laughing fit at the grocery store at the check-out line. 

This weekend was a much needed time because my sister and her husband have been living in this area for quite some time, and I hadn't been able to make it to see them.  It was always something: poor timing, not enough money, etc...  I am happy to say that I have been and had such a pleasant time.

It is also nice to be home.  I missed my husband and it was a great reunion.  We both had the day off yesterday, and got to spend the whole day together.  People always joke and say, "You're going to reach a point where you'll welcome the vacations away from each other."  Well, we've been married for three years, and I am always happy to be reunited with him.  I have a feeling it will always be that way (I hope so!).  I genuinly love being around my husband.  We enjoy each other's company, and I feel very fortunate for that.

Happy Tuesday to you and yours...
