After we left Ottumwa we stopped on the way and I got my dress fitted for Drew and Kendra's wedding. I was surprised to see the rather large size I had to order but oh, well that's what I get right. We got to Grandma's about 4:30 and Dave, Lisa and Sydni were in town as well for Ragbri. We spent the rest of the evening hanging out and had dinner with Dave, Lisa, Sydni, Marcy, Dean, Abby, Andi and Dane. It was nice to see everyone and catch up.
Everyone stayed over pretty late, we got to bed around 11:30 or so, so I was VERY tired but worth getting to see everyone! The next day we saw Dave and Lisa off just before lunch then we got to spend the rest of the day having quality one on one time with Grandma. For dinner she took us out to dinner at Niland's restaurant... a little cafe that she and Grandpa used to take me to when I was just a little baby.
It's not often that we get up to Iowa anymore; usually about once per year and we usually just spend the nights at Mom and Dad's and go visit our Grandparent's for the day or they come to mom and dad's. I really missed the time I used to spend by myself spending a few days at each of their houses and so I wanted to have that again this summer. Mom and Dad didn't like sharing us very much but I think they understood how important it was for me to be able to do. I just hope that as our lives get busier that we will still be able to find the time to do this... I just had so much fun and can't wait to get back and do it again!!!
