It's been a pretty eventful weekend. When I get sad I spend money in an attempt to make myself feel better, a method that's only slightly effective. Well this weekend I spent a lot of money... But yesterday afternoon through the evening was the highlight of my weekend. I realize it's Labor Day so my weekend is still here however with the CRAP TON of homework I have to do, I'd say it's not going to feel like the weekend. Anyway.
My best friend left for Spain yesterday and arrived three hours ago! And while she was boarding, and un-boarding planes I was enjoying time with her grandparents. I must admit, I was a little nervous at first because I've never been over the their house without K. Well I was nervous for nothing because they are the most heart warming people you will ever meet! I sat at the kitchen table looking at family photos (they had a new baby girl addition to the family!) and chatting with Grandma D for a long while and it was wonderful. I did homework without distractions, at a delicious home cooked meal of ribs, corn on the cob, tomatoes, beans, and homemade peach pie with ice cream, and then played mexican trains until 9pm. I really felt like a part of the family. We got several calls from K's parents and uncle and they just put it on speaker phone and let me listen to the babies and talk to K's parents. I have never felt more at home in a place that wasn't my home. They finally sent me on my way around 10 pm with tomatoes from the garden and corn on the cob in tow. And THAT was the cure to my sad and lonely weekend.

So I totally just started to cry when I read your post. I already feel like your my part of my family (aka my sister) and it makes me so happy to hear that you had such a nice time with my grandparents. Even though I can't be there I'm glad you can. It's sounds like you have officially been adopted into the Dederman household!
