On the road again

Since this weekend was Jamey's weekend to work, Addison and I took a mini-vacation and went to Monroeville Friday after I got off of work. We arrived pretty late but it was so worth it to be able to wake up Saturday morning and already be there! We had a wonderful breakfast and then played and ran a few errands around town during the 1st part of the day. I always think it's funny to go to Walmart because you KNOW you will see at least 1 person you know. After that we loaded up in Ashlee and Zach's vehicles and went to Little River state park to celebrate Cory's birthday. I haven't been there since I was a child! We used to take family camping trips there and sometimes go to swim and play on the playground. I totally forgot how nasty the water looks and I couldn't believe I actually used to swim in it!! I had to put away my "mom fears" and let Addy get in b/c all she was saying was "I wanna fwim!!" So she did and she LOVED it.....for a little while...then she said "MOMMY, THE ANIMALS ARE GETTING ME!!!" (Talking about the algae!!!) How funny!



For the rest of the time she wanted to "Fwing with grandaddy" That was too sweet.




Ashlee did a great job with the party!

here we are convincing Addy that there were no animals around! lol HI! :)
Addison was really happy to see grandaddy and I was so glad. Sometimes she acts really shy towards him but not this time! I really treasure every moment that they share, I'm so blessed to have him in my life. Addison was also REALLY excited to get to spend time with "sissy" (Ashlee) Addy loves loves loves her!! We also got to see "bebe" (Rhiannon) & Hunter and Zach. Grammy stopped by for a while as well. We all went by Rhi's work to get some ice cream. I'm so super proud of her for doing all she is doing. I can not believe she is a senior in high school. Reality hit when I saw her proofs for her senior pictures. WOW my baby sister is all grown up. Zach is growing up too. I really see more Independence in him now and I'm really proud of the young man he has grown up to be. Ashlee of course is amazing. Nursing school full time, guardianship of a 13 year old and coming home every weekend to maintain another household...plus being a great g/f to Joah and an ever so patient bff to me! :) I love my family so much and I thank the Lord above for them every night.

Today was bitter sweet. I always hate the day I have to leave but Addy and I were both excited to get home and see Jamey before he went to work. We woke up this morning kinda late and ate and then just basically packed up and got ready to leave. We said our goodbyes and hit the road. We stopped by my sweet friend Temeshia's house on the way out for just a minute to say hello and goodbye! Next time I come down I have to make time to go see my friends that are still in Monroeville. I just feel like my visits are so short and it's hard to divide time. We made it home about 20 mins before jamey had to leave, thanks to the rain and road construction in Montgomery :( Thank goodness he's off tomorrow and we get to spend some family time together! So now here I am, Addison's asleep, I'm blogging and waiting on Design Star and Kourtney and Khloe' take Miami to come on. I like both shows so we record both and usually I watch k&K tonight and DS tomorrow night with Jamey. I love the Kardashians! Lol... Obviously Jamey doesn't..so we compromise!


What a great weekend... keeping my fingers crossed for a great week ahead! :)
