on saturday we participated in our neighborhood garage sale. no one likes to do garage sales, myself included...but i had been meaning to get rid of a lot of things and this was the perfect opportunity. our hard work (setting up the night before, waking up at the crack of dawn to set up even more, and spending half of our day talking to strangers) paid off - and we made well over $100! so i rewarded myself with a new bag i had been wanting for quite some time ;) among many other needed items...Later in the day, in between everything else, Russell washed the car and I went shopping with Natalie.
On Sunday we woke up extra early to attend 8:00 mass since we were driving 3 hours southwest to visit our old family friends, Iris and John. My mom and Iris were both pregnant (with Celena, not me) at the same time back in New York and our families have remained in touch since. Iris's daughter, Yvette, is now married with 2 kids of her own and they were visiting Florida for vacation this week so we were able meet her family for the first time. It had been about 10+ years or so since we had seen Yvette as well. We had such a wonderful time and it was certainly worth the trip! Her family is just so precious and I feel incredibly touched how we are able to share in each other's adult lives -- what a beautiful thing!
Thank you for having us over guys! xoxo
