Tennessee Trip

Alrighty then! Here's the scoop on what happened for the last, oh three and a half weeks that I haven't blogged. What a lousy blogger...sad day. Anyway. On December 21st Moose and I flew out to visit our older sister (Punkin') in southwest Tennessee. We were praying the whole three days beforehand though, because it snowed MAJOR LEAGUE right before we left. But God had mercy on us and our cabin fever, and helped us get a vehicle out to get to the airport. And only one flight was slightly delayed. Not bad at all:) We arrived in TN and found our lovely sister, as well as the Artist, who had driven up from Texas with her BFF after BFF Noelle's college graduation (we're a busy bunch). We stopped at Chipotle for dinner like any good Christian family, and I promptly did something stupid - got all the way through the line to the register to pay for my dinner, and realized that I had left my wallet in the van. Awesome. So I asked Moose to go out and get it, but being a male, the poor man-child had no idea where I had put it, so he was...struggling...shall we say. Well the nice Mexican either took pity on me or wanted my numero de telefono, and gave me my dinner free, with a simple "I took care of it for you." :) Gracias. Then we went to Punkin's house, with her adorable yet noisy son screaming the whole hour and a half. Yesssss.
Keep in mind that we have many casual friends in this area, since we used to live there, and they all expect us to treat them like family and spend three nights at their house plus every waking second. And I just really wanted to see my sister. So I sorta...um...didn't tell anyone else I was coming. Heheheh. So we spent a couple of days just hanging out with Punkin', making skirts (Moose didn't make one...what a spoilsport), cooking good food, and generally being really Betty Crocker-ish. Good times. Then at some point her in-laws (some of the treat-us-like-family-even-though-we're-not crowd) found out we were there and started wanting us to go everywhere with them. Which we kindly refused. Because we just plain didn't feel like it.
So this is the first part...more to come later:)
