Kristen finally arrived home around midnight on July 8th. She left to visit Grandma on the June 18 with Christopher while the other girls and I were at Girls' Camp. After her cousins asked if she could stay when they visited Grandma, Chris extended her stay until July 1st. On June 30th, we got a called requesting for Kristen to "please, please, please" stay a little longer. There wasn't much activity-wise that she was going to miss, so we changed her reservation. I must admit I was beginning to miss her quite a bit. I think she too started to get a little home sick after the second week. It's a long time for a little peep to be away.
Her flight didn't arrive until 11 pm, so Chris hung out in Colorado Springs after work in order to bring her home. I must have dozed a bit when she got home but quickly woke up when I heard the door chime ding. Kristen was already upstairs in her home checking it out. I had spent hours cleaning, organizing, and hanging pictures. I also had curtains ready to hang but needed Chris' help to make that happen.
She tackled me in a hug when I walked in to her room. I quickly got her settled for bed and kissed her good night. I was glad to have her home.
