Grateful for Cousins Weekend

I look forward to this event every time we start to plan it. I don't know if we ever thought that we would do cousins weekend as often as we do, which is every couple of months, but I do not complain. I could do it every weekend. Okay, maybe not every weekend. Every other weekend!

It's always been made up of Aly, me and Julie but sometimes we have Katie and/or Kristi join in too which has been fun and spices things up a bit. I think most people would think our get togethers are really uneventful and they can be, but we like it that way. We are there to spend time together in the most lazy way possible. This last weekend, we stayed at Aly's house (this has become the norm) and we sat and talked, cooked our own meals and did a little grocery and jewelry shopping and watched movies. So relaxing and I definitely needed to get away from the drama in my house but it kind of followed me because I couldn't make my head stop thinking about it. Aly and Julie were so good to listen to my troubles and then distract me. I'm so grateful that we trust each other so much and we can reveal things to each other that we can't tell others. It's so comforting. I love this little tradition we've started and I hope it never ends.

I think your weekends sound like so much fun. And relaxing is always good. So what is the latest on the drama in your house?

I had such a great time this weekend. I wish we could do cousin's weekends more often too, but I don't know if every other weekend would fit in my schedule. :(

BTW, I think sometimes our weekends are very eventful, but they do seem to be getting lazier and lazier...which I'm totally fine with. :)

I hope things are going well at home and that you were able to get some of the drama worked out.

That's too bad about your home - Home should NOT be a place of drama. I know it often is. That makes me think of when my 3 daughters were all teenagers at the same time. UGH! Such drama.

Your cousin weekends sound wonderful.

I'm glad things are getting better at home and I hope that they stay good. Hopefully your discussion with your roommate helped and cleared the air.

I'm already looking forward to our next cousins weekend! I love the lazy too, but let's try to go to Laughing Stock the next time we get together (if it's up there). And, I'm already making plans for things we can do (while still relaxing a-plenty) the next time you guys come here. :)
