It was just a couple of weeks ago that I received some of the most disappointing news I can remember in quite some time. We were sitting around my in-laws house down in Columbus, OH waiting to get the festivities started for my nieces graduation. @mrsbozz was playing with our great niece and I was sitting on the couch going through all the work emails I had missed on our four hour drive down there from Michigan.
It was a pretty busy end to the month of May. I was hoping to maybe sleep in a little bit on Saturday morning, but then we got word that my nephews first baseball game was at 8:00 AM. Given the fact it was an hour and a half away, we had to get up at 5 AM to make it down there in time. That's just not right!
Have you ever seen one of those posts on traditional social media where someone says "I won't tell anyone if I win the lottery, but there will be signs..." Then there is a photo of their driveway with a boat, travel trailer, ATV, and other new vehicles in it. Either that, or there is a photo of a room in their house and it is filled with Legos or pets or something similar but equally expensive and excessive.
Did I mention it was a busy time for my wife and I this past weekend? Probably only about fifty times now I am guessing. Well it was. We had the distinct pleasure of driving down to Ohio to watch our niece graduate from high school. I still remember when we found out she was going to be our next niece. It was the first time I traveled with my girlfriend (now @mrsbozz) to visit her sister and brother in law. We showed up at the house and our oldest niece was wearing a t-shirt that said "Big Sister". It took us a bit to actually realize the gravity of it all, and now 17 years later, here we are!
Typically when my wife and I head down to Ohio to visit her sister's family, we are rushing around going to this softball game or that basketball game. The weekends seem to be filled with something and the time spent down there is always far too short. In the past, we would stay at the house with my sister in law and her family, but since our oldest niece moved home and had a baby of her own, space is at a minimum.
The past week has been a flurry of activity for my wife and I. In between all of the regular life stuff like work and things like that, we have also found some time to have a bit of fun. Just about a week ago now we took @mrsbozz's parents to a show at one of the local theaters. We got the info on the show about six months ago through the mailer that our venue sent out. My wife saw it and she said "That might be fun to take my parents to". A few clicks later and the tickets were purchased.
