My kids and I got back home Friday night. We ended up staying another week in El Paso and really enjoyed spending time with family, but oh my goodness, we ate just about everything we wanted (gained a couple of pounds in the process), would stay up late and do it all over again the next day. So even though I did enjoy my time there, I sure was ready to come back home to my normal.
That week, we went to Bob-O’s Family Fun Center. We got to ride on the go karts, played miniature golf, got on the bumper boats (my favorite), practiced our batting (mine wasn’t that good), and played laser tag which was pretty cool and fun.
I was also able to spend time with my aunt and uncle. My aunt will be getting married in July and she had been needing help to clean up her backyard so I told her that I would help her. By the way, I love cleaning and organizing and so I quickly jumped at the opportunity when she mentioned it. My cousin, my aunt, her fiancé, and me started cleaning at 10 in the morning and finished around 3:30. They tried quitting on me a couple of times but I didn’t let them 😏. After we were done, my aunt thanked me but said that she wouldn’t let me help her again because I wouldn’t let her take breaks 😱 (lol), which I did but only short ones. My biggest regret is not taking before and after pictures to show, lol, hopefully I’ll remember next time.
And so as I was driving back home, I was thinking about everything I had done and am so grateful that I had the opportunity to be with my family without having to worry about time and also thankful for making it home safely.
-Thank you my Jesus for being with me and for always bringing back to you, reminding me to trust you and have faith in you. For loving me unconditionally and showering me with your many blessings. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.-
