It will be an eventful week, since my sister and her boyfriend David have come for a visit. Just yesterday, they came into town, and we all met at my parent’s house. It was just a gorgeous night last night, so my parent’s decided that we would eat outside on the back lawn, where they set up tables and chairs. After we ate my mother’s fabulous home-cooked meal, consisting of rotisserie baked chicken, steamed carrots, mashed potatoes, gravy, and crescent rolls, …(yes, I know you wanted the details), we played a Frisbee game together as a family, and there was quite a bit of competition, based on our performance last night. There was definitely a lot of pushing and shoving, as we were all so eager to win. After everyone become fatigued after a long game, we ate a wonderful apple pie with vanilla ice cream, while we watched a comedy show on television. I have to add though, that this was Brian Regan entitled “The Epitome of Hyperbole”, so if you are at all familiar, it is a cleaner version of all the other typical comedy shows airing on television these days. We met David for the first time, and he seems like the perfect match for Amanda. You can see many similarities between them, such as their independence and desire to serve in the Navy, as well as the competitive edge they both share. David and Amanda will be deployed again in October, so it is a treat when my sister comes into town, as we do not see her very often. I don’t know how long David has been serving in the Navy, since we do not know him very well…yet, but I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since Amanda has been away serving as a Navy Corpsman. We’ll look forward to the days ahead while they are here, as the events continue.
