weekend update.

on friday night we spent some time at the pool hall (it wouldn't be friday night if we didn't, now would it?). then we headed to a late dinner at red lobster with our friends melissa & danny. we had just gotten to dinner and ordered our food when travis received a phone call from my mom. my sister had been injured at a birthday party when a porch swing with three girls in it had fallen on her leg. we were told her leg was mis-shapen and were asked if i could run to the party and check on her as the game room was busy. i let everyone wait for the food and went to check on sierra myself. i was expecting the worse because we had been told, "if there is anyway travis can go, it's probably best; rhiannon will freak out when she sees it." i didn't get that message until i was already en route, and i'm not going to lie, i was a smidge offended by it. i always handle things well in stressful, chaotic situations. my brother has had major appendages hanging before and i've been the one to see him first. oh ye people of little faith.

when i arrived at the house, the birthday girl's mother was waiting on the porch. "brace yourself," she told me. i walked in to find sierra surrounded by party-goers. she stood up when i came in (that was a good sign), told me she was fine, and turned around to show me her leg. the area below your calf normally slims down for your leg to meet you ankle; sierra's was swollen with a long tube-y lump circling from the back of her calf to the front of her shin. it didn't look anywhere near as bad as i had anticipated. i was told that the swelling had already gone down considerably and was looking much better. i took sierra to my parents and then home to put her leg on ice. i met back up with the dinner party, but their food had already come and gone and they were finishing dessert. we headed to melissa's house and spent the night visiting and playing wii.

saturday our entire day was spent at the pool hall for the 14:1 tournament. travis competed and we were both helping with the electronic bracket. unfortunately my baby did not win the tournament, but he has high expectations for the upcoming 9-ball tournament. it's a qualifier for nationals, and he has a good feeling about the competition.

sunday was a lazy day. we spent time just driving around all of muskogee. as we passed different homes and landmarks, travis would tell me stories about his childhood. i love listening to his stories. we drove out by the lake and dreamt of owning a sailboat and spending all summer on the water.

we headed to his parents' house to tell everyone that the wedding has been postponed. dee quickly began calling all of the family. while most of my family members live in tulsa (except for my aunt sharon in phoenix), many of travis's family members are making arrangements to come into town. we needed to let everyone know quickly before flights and hotels were booked.

travis's friends from high school ambre and chris stopped by while we were there and we got to meet their three little girls, serenity, cadence, and zaylynn. (they are mine and travis's age and have three kids already. i can not even imagine!) they are both in the military and have been stationed on the east coast, but they are now stationed in oklahoma for about a month or so while they await their next assignment. it was fun meeting people who have known travis since he was in 8th grade.

the rest of the evening was spent at the house looking up other opportunities, discussing a move out of state, and being lazy together. i think it was my favorite part of the weekend.
