Did you know that the small town of Granville, New York is the colored slate capital of the world?? A little known fact about the beautiful little town that I grew up in and have lived in my whole life...up until 3-years ago! When I met Ron, there were fireworks bursting all over the place, and I guess you could say that it was love-at-first-sight!! We became close very quickly, and I "officially" moved in with him about 3 months into dating! Yikes...I know it sounds like a leap of faith, but we just celebrated our 3-year anniversary May 18th, and we couldn't be happier and stronger!! Anyway, I now live in Queensbury, New york...only about a 40 minute drive to Granville, plus I teach in Granville, so I drive there EVERYDAY!! That being said, however, I feel like I rarely get to see my family anymore! Life is just sooo busy and takes over!
Luckily, this Memorial Day Weekend, we were actually able to coordinate and have a good family picnic on a beautiful day!! It couldn't have been more perfect! We went fishing, and swimming and paddle-boating...by the way...it is much easier to paddle down-stream than up...lol...who would have thought!! It was a much needed day to sit back and enjoy some quality time with my family, and Ron fit right in...they all love him and it only reinforces what I already know...he is an amazingly great guy!!
I hope all my "blog buddies" had a great Memorial Day weekend as well, packed with tons of family time and memories!!
Great pictures. I can totally relate to how you feel about being close to your family; luckily I'm only 10 minutes away from my Mom & sister at all times but moving away from the town you were brought up in can be really tough. Very cool that you work there though. Do you teach in a school you went to as a student? Thank goodness we had such great weather for the three day weekend! Hard to believe it's already Wednesday (hey, I'm SO not complaining!)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you guys had a fantastic weekend....What's NOT to love about the weather we had?..It's so nice that Ron has blended in so nicely with your folks.... We DID have a nice long weekend...Yankee game Friday, Family picnic Saturday, Kyle was in a baseball tournament on Sunday (his team won!)...Life IS good. I love the picture with you and the fish!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like great fun, Lindsey. I'm in Rochester and had the same beautiful weather you did. Spent my weekend with family as well: it was awesome. You sound so happy in your relationship, and it's always and added bonus when our family approves!
