I always enjoy being around my family and I enjoy even more being away with my hubby, not at our house or either of our parents houses' but someone elses house. We had a great time this year, we had a great time reflecting on our past family times, traditions and eating habits. Our dinners together reminded me of something from a movie...lots of conversations and laughing. I can only hope we have many more family times like that.
On Saturday, the big event was UGA vs. GS game, which if you know me at all you know I don't care for football, so after the 1st quarter, I took a nice long nap on the airbead. After the game Dawn cooked a great meal of Shrimp and Grits ( a true southern dish).
Sunday was great, we went to church and was suprised by the fact it was an All Worship Sunday. As I stood their singing I was overwhelemed, there I stood, with Nick on my right, Justin and Darlene on my left and my parents, Dawn and Rick in front...how blessed I am to have a family who loves Jesus. I hadn't really ever taken time to thank God for that blessing. I know many people here in seminary who left families at home who aren't believers and I am truely blessed to have a family that loves God and can possibly understand why we are here at SEBTS.

The down point to Sunday was when Nick decided to get in to cool off and lost his wedding band in the water. It was pointless to go looking, so now he will be wearing my promise ring (we exchanged at our wedding) until we are able to replace his wedding band.
Monday we were able to spend a few hours on the boat, this time Nick stayed back at the house and Lucas joined us on the boat. But, not before a breakfast of Crapes that Justin got started with Lucas helping out.
