My Aunt and Cousin are both in town as well. They live in Texas and arrived Friday night. Cailtyn, Colton and I went down to their hotel and visited for a couple hours. I love when my cousin is here. It's like we just pick up from the last visit as if there was no time in between. She is only here until Wednesday so I'm hoping to spend as much time with her as possible. We are going down to Greenlawn Cemetery tomorrow. Greenlawn is famous for being haunted and it was also the place where our grandparents were married. I know weird right?! I just found that out from my cousin. My Grandma was even picked up in a hearse for her wedding! I guess my Great- Aunt and Great- Uncle were caretakers of the cemetery and lived in a house on the property. My Aunt said she would spend summers there and at night she would look out the window and see all the gravestones. Creepy! The house has since been torn down. Funny the things you learn about your family that you had no idea about. Who knows maybe we will see a ghost if we're lucky!

Cool story about the wedding...I recently learned some news about my family as well...enjoy time with your cousin...I have 2 that I pick up right where we left off at....
OMG, cool story!
Hope you have a great time with your cousin.
Isn't it a great feeling to expect someone you really love?
That is the coolest story about your grandparents. I've never heard anything even remotely similar.
I had no idea Office Max didn't have good back to school sales. Staples does. But, all of the stores have them so early that if you miss them, you're in trouble. That's usually what happens to me.
I hope you have a wonderful visit with your cousin!
I love school shopping, but it sure does cost a lot :-(
Neat story about your grandparents!
I hope you have a great visit with your cousin!
For some reason, I like cemeteries. There's something rather peaceful about them. My favorite so far is the one I visited in Paris --the Pere-Lachaise Cemetery, where Jim Morrison and other famous people are buried (Balzac, Chopin, Victor Hugo, Sarah Bernhardt, Edith Piaf, Proust, etc.)
Have a great visit with your cousin and aunt. :)
I hope you have a blast with your cousin.
Love the story about your grandparents.
Oh, I love when family is in town! Especially GIRL family! LOL! I love girl time. I hope you all are able to catch up and get some QT in before they have to leave!
How nice to see your cousin! DH has cousins that live far away and we get so excited to see them when they're headed to town. So fun to anticipate!
I love that your grandma was picked up in a hearse...that's is great! You should have the TAPS team there to ghost hunt with you...
Uniforms would make things so much easier. Today is the first day for my high schoolers - they were both excited :) We will get school supplies tomorrow night (all the teachers want different things and folders set up in different ways and since they only have 3 academic classes a day-block scheduling we have to wait until the end of day two to get the supplies).
Just wanted to say hi..
Wow! $700 for 3 kids - that's plenty of
shopping.
Enjoy!
Sounds like you got a lot of school stuff! I buy mine in several trips that way it doesn't feel like I spent so much money. lol
I hope you had fun this week with your cousin! Be sure to let us know if you saw and spooks! :)
Awesome story about your grandparents!!!
