I hadn't told my mom and dad that I was coming home, so it was a big surprise. Kristie picked me up at the Bloomington Airport (although she was waiting for me in Peoria and had to drive all the way :) and we went on to dinner at La Fiesta to surprise my mom. It was fun because she was not expecting it at all. My dad picked us up from dinner and was really surprised too! Anyways, this day I visited my cousin Court and her baby Leighton, had dinner with my aunt Julie, my sister, and my mom. Then hung out at home with the parents!
Thursday my friend Panichi drove all the way to come down and hang out. It was so nice to get to see her too! She went all around with me-we got our nails done, then visited Courtney and Leighton again/saw my cousin Nate, went to Kristen's and talked with her and her mom and her doggy Lucy, ate dinner with my parents, then went to Kristie's to walk her kids to DQ. It was a great day!
Kristen's dog LucyFriday we took Kristie's kids and met Court, Leighton, and Julie for lunch, then Kristie, Sylvie, and I drove to Mahomet to see my sister in law Robin and her kids. Robin's family moved into a new house awhile ago, but Adam and I hadn't seen it yet. Of course, it was so pretty and it was so fun to see the kids, even though it was a short trip. It's sad when you go almost a year not seeing anyone who isn't done growing because they always look SOOO much older! After we left, we stopped in Bloomington so I could get some home decor at Hobby Lobby (there isn't one around here!) and then we went to Kristie's to hang with the family and order sushi!

Saturday was really the whole reason I went home, my childhood friend, Angie Scime, got married. That morning I had to fit in a visit with Darah so we went for a long walk to catch up, then I ran home to get ready, and left for the wedding. It was really pretty and fun-lots of friends and family there. I realized at the reception that my camera was dead, so I have no pictures :( Angie looked so pretty though and was having a blast!
Sunday, I went walking with Kristie, drove to Bloomington and shopped and lunched with Court, Julie, Kris, and my mom, then ran to the airport. I was lucky and got on an earlier connection flight so arrived in San Diego just in time for dinner with Adam. Lucky for him, I stopped on the way to the airport to get us Avantis for dinner. A great end to a great trip. Like always, I was sad to leave but happy to see Adam and Diggy!
Next trip home: Christmas!

Did Kristen tell you I saw her on Saturday?? I was getting my hair cut and the kids and I got to see her. We told her to say hi to you!
It sounds like a great trip home. I can't wait for Christmas!
