goodbye february of 2020

February's almost over and it's time for another wrap-up post. I can't believe that the things that happened in the beginning of this month were this month. Feels like forever since I seen Janeya last. <3 on the last day of January we met her for lunch after work, and then brought her home to our house.  That was such a good time. i miss her. 

That  night was her uncle's Last Night Out and, well, I went. xP Girls weren't allowed down in the field with the guys where they were driving old cars around. But we sat at the top of the hill and watched, and froze, and chatted, and it was a grand time.
The next day was the wedding. Kirsten drove down for a long weekend stay, and we spent most the day getting ready for the wedding that night. But we did find the time to run and get coffee before the local coffee shop closed for the night. *winks*

Weddings are always such great fun (and I get to go to another one this weekend!!), so that was a good time. But my favorite part of the day was after the wedding, when we went to Burgerville for milkshakes and stayed there till ten (pm), then went to Janeya's grandma's place (my great-aunt) and hung out in the basement before going home for the night. I didn't get any pictures from any of this. I guess I was too busy enjoying my out-of-town family.

Having Janeya here was such a blessing. She's a treasure for sure. <333333 we had coffee dates, and long chats, and just a lovely time. I can't even begin to tell how what a joy it was. Her time here was over too soon.

While both Janeya and Kirsten were here we took LaKaysha out for her 22nd birthday. We had such grand plans of surprising her with lunch and bowling. We did surprise her and we did go for lunch, but the one time to try to go bowling - the bowling alley is packed. whyyyyy???? We ended up trying a new coffee shop and walk a local shop, which LaKaysha really enjoys, so it worked out fine.

Kate is getting so big! She's so smiley, and adorable - and living with us while Felicity and Josiah are in between apartments <3 I may want my room back real soon, but this little niece is such a joy to have in the house, everyday, all day. I don't mind her cries in the night either. She's too sweet to get annoyed at.

So my February started out a little bit crazy - with work and visiting family, I will admit I got a little overwhelmed. But that calmed down, and so did work. If it wasn't for my grandpa being willing to let us prune his fruit trees, we wouldn't be working hardly at all this week.

Oh, Valentine's Day was a thing. I forget about that. Or try to - being a single girl. I'm not gonna lie and tell you that Valentine's Day isn't hard for me, because it is. LaKaysha and I worked that day, but treated ourselves to lunch and coffee after work. Also our mom gave us some special things at breakfast <3
At the coffee shop the random guy in front of us on line left cash to go towards our drinks, so that was sweet <3

I'm excited for the wedding this weekend - another one of those weddings where I don't know which side of the church to sit on because I am related to both the bride and groom. Maybe this time we'll actually do what we threaten to do each time my mom's cousin marries my dad's cousin: just sit in the middle of the aisle and make everyone walk around us *laughs* ok, I won't do that xP I'll probably end up sitting with my mom's side of the family... we'll see.
