I miss you already...

Today we put Marin on the plane to Seattle and Garn and my heart almost broke. It was so hard to say good-by. Garn said we need to fix up the house but I said I want to save my money for air fares! We probably can do a little of each. The girls gave me the coolest birthday party ever! I had posters and streamers and a bag of goodies for the 60 yr. old with each item having a special message attached and a table cloth that had 60 yr. old sayings. It was such a surprise!! Thank you Thank you girls!! We spent about 4 hrs at Murray Park pool with Marin's hubby's mom and sister and friends and all our family and had such a great time. After the party and cake and ice cream we went over to Mandy and Jon's old neighborhood in Murray to see a performing group of kids and then watch our own personal fireworks. The kids were wonderful and the fireworks spectacular. Renewing old friendships and seeing all of Mandy and Jon's friends again was so nice. All in all a wonderful day with many memories shared. Marin, Ali went looking for you in your room a while ago and couldn't find you...we all miss you. You're a terrific aunt and will make a superb mom. Keep in touch...we all love you so much.
