Old and New Memories

This past weekend, Derek and I spent a day with his family helping his grandma move from her house in a tiny town called Lamont, to her new home in Enid, Oklahoma. Grandma Brewer has pretty much lived in Lamont for the past 50 years of her life on farms and is now in her first maintenance-free townhome with actual, real neighbors! Friday night was spent with all of Grandma Brewers children (minus one daughter from Kentucky) and some of their family members reminiscing through old pictures and telling stories of the old days on the farm. On Saturday, I went to Lowe's and picked out flowers to pot and put on her new back porch.

After we helped pick some weeds and hang some pictures, we all enjoyed a big lunch shortly before hitting the road. Derek and I were off to Oklahoma City to spend the rest of the weekend with our good friends Craig and Michelle. We spent all night at Bricktown after a good, grilled dinner and then wound down watching Saw 5 starting at like 1am. Michelle and I love these clever, gory movies and it somehow makes it more fun to watch them after a long night of drinking! Sunday morning we awoke to wrinkly pugs 2 inches away, staring at us while we slept on the aero bed. We freshened up and were off to the pool while the guys played some golf. After a quick shower, we all grabbed a bite to eat from the Spaghetti Warehouse and then hit the road for the drive home!

It was a great weekend full of old memories shared and new memories made. We somehow managed to survive the 104 - 107 degree weather while we were there and are definitely enjoying being back in the cool, 80 degree weather!
