Prom and Mother's Day weekend

It's been a busy and memorable weekend around our house, and my heart could not be more full.  I was fighting a sinus infection most of last week, and that was tough.  It's not completely gone, but I feel much better now.  Sleeping is the tough part, which is often the issue with congestion.

Friday evening was just Andrew and myself for dinner, and nothing sounded good to me...except Dairy Queen blizzards.  We ordered a sandwich so it wasn't just ice cream for dinner, but I won't lie, it was exactly what hit the spot that evening.  The rain had cancelled baseball for the entire weekend, and I'm very grateful.  Thomas was home about Midnight that night, and it allowed us ALL to sleep in yesterday.

Mid afternoon, Thomas started getting ready for Prom, and Catherine arrived late afternoon to see him.  We met up with his date and her family a little after 4:30 and took some very lovely pictures.  Catherine hung around for a couple of hours before driving back to her apartment.  Thomas and T had a lovely dinner and enjoyed the dance before heading off to After Prom where Andrew was also volunteering.  It was 4AM before everyone was home again, which never allows for much sleep!

We slept in as much as we could today without completely destroying (we hope) our sleeping patterns.  Thomas had to work this afternoon and I returned his tux.  Andrew did a lot of yard work, and the weather could not have been more gorgeous.  It was absolutely wonderful.  Thomas's girlfriend very thoughtfully brought by some flowers and gifts for my Mother's Day.  It was such a kind gesture and I was touched.

This evening has been the best part, and I have my sweet little family to thank for it.  Catherine had sent me the sweetest text earlier today, and since Thomas was leaving for After Prom just after Midnight, I had very "early" wishes from him.  Catherine made the trip back to town for the evening (and is here until at least Thursday with her work schedule), and I had told Andrew I wanted to order some food in.  After dinner, the kids and Andrew gave me some gift cards, and Catherine gave me such a sweet paperweight.  It truly means the world to me.  All of this was after listening to Catherine and Thomas bonding over college things.

As I was driving home this afternoon, I couldn't help but feel that all of my dreams had come true.  I have an amazingly blessed life and I am so incredibly grateful!
