"Dress as a Cow or You Won't Get Your Dinner."

Freeee chick-fil-a day! My family went, and saw and conquered, all dressed as cows! It's so nice to have a day off work to spend time with the fam! I'm glad I'm related to such a lovely group of people (Although Ruth was kind of a grouch because she's tired) for time and all eternity!

Ben says I need to treasure the slow evenings at home because there aren't many left. I say, heck no! Our family is forever! My family is the one thing that will stay constant in all the craziness that is my life! Even when I move away, there will still be nights where we spend the evening on the couch, chatting occasionally and doing stuff on the internet. I'm sure we'll still get some time to sing Frozen in three part harmony, or to watch Master Chef together. Maybe not often, but sometimes. I know my mom will always be there when I need to chat about the injustice of how women are treated or ask her how in the heck to use my hand mixer. (cough cough, today..)  I know my dad will surprise me with kindness every once in awhile. I know my sister will always be one of my best friends, even if we never seem to really talk. And I know Jared will always be around to simultaneously annoy the heck out of me and look freakishly adorable. (Dang that kid)

Don't mind my whiteness haha

Wesley leaves for his mission next week!! His farewell is this Sunday! It depends on the day, honestly, how well I can cope with it all. But today is a good day! Wesley will do great serving in New Mexico, and I'm kinda excited to send out my first best friend on the first big adventure of his life. I'm so proud of my boys. So proud!

Sigh. Life comes at you so fast. But tonight, good food, good family, and pajama pants, that's enough for me. If just for today. :)
