Kendra's Visit

This past weekend my sister, Kendra, came into town. Only Ryan and I knew she was flying into CHO at 11AM Friday Morning. Kyle, our brother, had no idea as Kendra didn’t want us to say anything since she was planning on surprising him! Oh and he was surprised with that cute little smile of his… picture soon to come.

Kendra works way to much, after a red-eye flight in from Vegas, Kendra insisted on going to work with me as she brought her work laptop to do business while I finished my busy Friday doing my work. Then I did a quick workout as I usually do following a day of work. And after me getting all sweaty, Kendra and I did our duty by surprising Kyle. To our surprise, Kyle and all his roommates were home cleaning their place and cooking! I had never seen so many guys clean and cook before at one time. After surprising Kyle, we rushed home to get ready quickly for bowling. Kendra and I had pizza for dinner at the bowling alley and we played a couple of games. Kendra and I of course being the only girls amongst 10 guys (1 of them being my wonderful husband of course), needless to say we had a good time. After our bowling fun, Ryan, Kendra and I went to visit Kyle and his buddies at his apartment. We ended up staying far too long. Kendra stayed over with Kyle and Ryan and I hit the bed a little later than normal. It was very nice for the four of us to bond more though!

Saturday morning Ryan and I wake up at a decent hour, so I can watch Joshua James. Maddie had some info session for her classes, so she dropped off Joshua James. He is a little over 1.5 yrs. and is the best little man ever! He was so good and is too cute. Meanwhile Ryan went to pick Kendra up from Kyle’s and get some Bodo’s Bagels. Kendra and Ryan made some eggs to have an egg’n cheese bagel sandwich for breakfast. It was delicious. Joshua James thought he wanted some of mine, so I gave him a little egg and he certainly didn’t like that. He just stuck with his goldfish. After breakfast, while Kendra and I were hanging out with Joshua James, Ryan was downstairs chillin’ with Abby. Abby is not accustomed to kids; she tends to growl, so we rather not take any chances. Before too long, Maddie came back to pick up Joshua James and we were so sad to see him go. He is the sweetest boy ever and has wonderful manners!

Once he and Maddie left, I headed out to get my eyebrows waxed and ran some errands. Then came home and changed for dinner. Ryan picked up Kyle while I was out and Kendra napped as she needed any rest she could get. Then we went to Sakura Japanese Steakhouse. It was so delicious and nice again for the four of us to chat and spend some time together! After dinner, we dropped off Kyle at his fraternity house since he had a rush function. Then Kendra, Ryan and I went to the downtown mall movie theatre to watch the “Bucket List”. It was good and I think we all enjoyed it. When we got home, we just headed to bed.

Sunday morning Ryan and I went to church as our regular Sunday morning routine, and then came home got Kendra and headed to pick up Kyle for Brunch. We ate at the Horse and Hound. I wanted to try something new. A little pricey, but it was good. Ryan and I treated the two of them and then Kyle and Kendra had to say their goodbyes. And then it was time for Kendra to pack up. I took her back to CHO and then Ryan and I headed to the basketball game and dinner followed at Aberdeen Barn with a Donor. Overall we had a great time and it was one of the most relaxing weekends we have had in a long time. We enjoyed our time with Kendra for sure as we do miss her!
