sisters are doin it for themselves!

not really but i couldn't think of another line from a song to represent the past weekend.

john and i drove down to dallas on friday to spend the weekend with my family. the drive down was pretty uneventful. probably because i slept and watched episodes of the office the whole time. i love that darn portable dvd player!

one of the purposes of our visit was to host a pampered chef show with my sister for the angioma alliance, the organization which raises money for angioma awareness and research. (my sister was diagnosed in august and had hers removed in september.) it went so much better than i had anticipated. we sold over $2000 worth of products and as a result, we made about $350for the organization. i couldn't be happier.

on sunday, rachel and i went to see 27 dresses before our family dinner to celebrate my dad's birthday. dinner was so good! barbara made a turkey dinner and a delicious chocolate cake for dessert. my only regret is not taking some of the cake home with us!(oh, and leaving the leftover turkey in rachel's fridge.)

it was really nice to have a weekend without drama. usually our dallas trips end with someone getting pissed (usually me), someone being a brat (usually cody or michael), and someone ignoring me (usually rachel). i had a great conversation with my dad and barbara on saturday morning and another great discussion with rachel on saturday after the party. i don't know if i am maturing more, but things just feel different now than they did before.

and now, we prepare for game night!!! bring it on!
