Back to Reality!! (this is a long one) 09/08/2008
Well were back on the good ol island of Dominica. We got back Saturday about 3:00 pm. Heres what our life was like back in the states for a couple of weeks….. Whenever we got to Little Rock our parents were waiting on us and then we all met my friend Allie for dinner. Then we drove on to Fort Smith and had a great nights sleep in our own bed!!! Tuesday night we went to eat at Does with some of Mom and Dads friends – two couples who we LOVE! It was a good time. Then the next night we had family over for Justins birthday and Dad cooked steak, homemade mashed potatoes, and green beans! His birthday isn’t until the 24th but since we wont be home then we had to celebrate a little early. Then we headed up to Fayetteville. We ate lunch with his Aunt Jean and cousin Rusty. Then we walked around The Promenade in Rogers. Then we met my friend Savannah for dinner at Noodles. Friday morning we headed to the LAKE!!!!!!! Both parents were there, Robbie (my brother), and our friends Brad and Erica. Dad cooked two of the nights and it was DELICIOUS! It was the perfect touch to the weekend! Justin taught me, Brad, and Erica how to wakeboard. I got up on the third try! Ive always wanted to learn how because Justin is so good at it. Brad and Erica also tried to learn hot to water ski. Brad was hilarious. I will post those videos later. And of course we also tubed! Mom even tubed with me! She was a little dramatic but it was very fun. She didn’t like the tube we had so she went and bought her own – one a little easier to ride. It was definitely the best time ever at the lake. Then on to El Dorado! We got to see the Voris’ new house and it is awesome!!! Its HUGE! We really enjoyed staying there. I cant believe I didn’t get any pictures of the new house! And we got to see Fisher – our other dog. He is doing so great and being so spoiled! We miss him terribly and cant wait to be back in the states so he can live with us again. We also got to see Memaw who is in the rehab part of a nursing home. She is doing really well and is eager to go home! Justins grandparents got us birthday presents (since this was the first time theyd seen me since mine and Justin wont be there for his). I got a matching necklace and earrings set from Brighton and Justin got some new clippers for his hair!! Which were much needed since hes had the same ones since his freshman year of college! We ate more good food (Mrs Voris fixed a WONDERFUL pot roast and made some homemade ice cream!). And we got to see lots more family and friends! That’s it in a very small nutshell!! I will post more later about Justins eyebrows and some videos of the lake! CommentsErica Rice Mon, 08 Sep 2008 20:03:21 We had a blast with you guys! We miss you already!
