Road Trip

our old house and school

i love this picture of my mom

sisters

This past weekend, the girls (dawn, katie, mom, lucy, and myself) drove to deerfield beach for a baby shower. A 10 hr drive from dahlonega, with 2 kids in the car could have been disasterous but turned out okay. We made it to my aunt marys house about 10am saturday. Lucy couldn't wait to see Aunt Mary, for so long she has been referred to as the Aunt with a new face and new boobs. Lucy got to see both. It was odd to be back in the town where we lived til i was in the 4th grade. Dawn and i took Katie and Lucy to see the house where we grew up, the park we played in, the school we attended, it was so surreal. We were in tears as soon as we saw Porter Paints marking the subdivision entrance. It's crazy how big a house and yard can be when you are 8 and at now how unbeleiveably small it is. It was a weekend filled with visiting old friends and family, looking through old photographs and making new memories. Though the drive was long, it was a weekend well spent. Though florida is a great place to visit, i am really thankful for where i live now.

note to aunt mary- you look amazing and i can't wait to see you again. thanks for all you hospitality!
