Wonderful weekend, not so wonderful start to the week...

So Saturday was a lot of fun! We went to the farmer's market with Mom and Dad, then in the afternoon we went to my parents house to go fishing. We had to wait until the evening to go fishing because of the storm that blew through the area. Right before the storm we managed to get a look at just how many blackberries are about to be ours in just a few weeks. I am NOT exaggerating when I say that there are enough out there for 10 people to pick berries ALL day and still not have picked them all. It's CRAZY, and I'm very excited. I will be making my first ever attempt a canning, blackberry jam....MMMM! :) Saturday was also nice because my Uncle Steve and cousins Zach and Morgan came fishing with us, oh and the grilled T-bone steaks my dad fixed and heavenly peanut butter pie my mom made!

Sunday was of course father's day. It was really neat to surprise Pop Pop! I really think he had no idea we were all going to be there at church. Lunch at the mexican restaurant was great too! (Thanks again Grandma and Pop Pop.) We didn't get to see Phil for fathers day, but he was definately in our thoughts. I'm so grateful to have a father-in-law who has shown me fatherly love since the beginning, even when he wasn't sure about me and whether or not I would be any good for his son! He has played such a huge role in making Allen the man he is today. Allen has learned to be an amazing husband from the example of his father and someday will get the chance to be as good of a dad to our kids as Phil was to Allen.

This morning, Allen got a speeding ticket! Sooooo....the overtime money I will be earning on Saturday morning is already spent. Allen's pretty upset about it, but I just told him it happens. I've had a few speeding tickets before too...we will pay the ticket and he will slow down on Harrison street. Life goes on of course, but not a great way to start the week.

Tomorrow night at 5:30 is our appointment to see the house in Hannibal. We will keep everyone posted! Wish us luck!

Love you all!
