One word... "FAMILY"

I just got back from a long weekend with my family. I haven't blogged in a while because I have had "blogger's block". This is definatley worth blogging about.

I get so busy with my daily life, work, school, etc. that sometimes I forget what is important in my life. And the numero uno thing is MY FAMILY!!!! Living far away I tend to miss them a whole lot, as you could probably imagine.

Will boy was in town (Panama City Beach) so I got to spend time with him here. We had so much fun hanging out at my condo and going out to eat. We are closer than ever and I loved talking and laughing with him. We sang old church hymns and he even remembered some of the random songs I learned at Camp Pinnacle. *chuckle* We talked serious and we talked not so serious. What a fun couple of days.

On Saturday, I woke up early to drive to Thomaston. It was a long ride but I was so excited when I pulled up to La Fiesta to meet Sis and Ant. I should have known that is where I would find them. hehe! We hung out with Matt, Jessica, and Dylan after that and it was a perfect afternoon. We took a long nap and then got on up and went to eat at the 'Fish Peddler'. Yummy! Oh and thanks brother, again, for dinner.

More time was spent with them on Sunday and Will boy even dropped in for a few minutes. We spent time scratching and rubbing backs and I even had a personal hair dresser to do my hair...Jessica. We talked and figured out the world as we always do... they are the only ones I can do that with and I needed that since I don't have much in Florida.

I tagged along with Sis out to Mrs. Dona's and Paul's and enjoyed listening to her be the nurturing mother that she is to Ant:)

Monday, I got to spend a little bit of time with Grandmomma K. She was snapping peas and I sat there and caught up on all the family. After a cup of coffee with her, I left to pick up Grandmomma Bentley. If you read my blog, you know how much she means to me and here is another example why. I had been crying and actually started crying at lunch. (personal problems of course) I tried to hold it back but you know how when you start crying, you CAN NOT stop.... well she picked up on it and then she started crying. We got through with lunch and I got in the car and she looked at me and said "Are you and your boyfriend having problems?" and I said, because I did not want to worry her, "just going through a rough spell, Grandmomma, I will be OK." And in her words of wisdom, she looks at me and says, "Well, YOU WILL BE OK. Now is the time to realize if he is good for you or not and if he isn't then YOU will be ok. Just be careful driving and be happy. Sing if you have to." And right then, all of that sadness went away because she reminded me something I really needed to remember. I would be ok. And by the way...... I sang the whole way home and it did make me feel better.

The best thing that I have learned in life is that no matter how bad off things get, or how sad I could ever be, I have something that I wouldn't trade for the world. And that is my WONDERFUL family. No matter what, these people are ALWAYS going to be there for me and I will never have to worry about them walking out of my life. EVER. I hope that I am as good to them as they are to me!

I can't wait to all be together again!
