Back to reality...

we had a great trip to birmingham this past weekend!! we got to see so many friends and family...i never feel like we have near enough time to see everyone we want to and i leave feeling like i have run around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to make sure i see everyone...i am really looking forward to Christmas when we can spend more that 2 1/2 days in AL! it was good to hang out with my family until 3/5ths of them left for the youth mission trip in TN. we had fun teaching katie, jared (jarhead), cliff and heather to play bohnanza (the bean game!). anyway, kenny went to daniel's wedding and i know he had a blast getting to spend time with daniel and i went to shay's wedding. i especially loved getting to see dara, kerri and jennifer!! (and shay of course, but she was preoccupied!) it's always good to hang out with the girls...and words can't explain how much i miss them all!! (sniff, sniff!)

we got to hang out with kenny's parents sunday morning...and surprise! denise, dale, shannon and eric, too! it was not near long enough, but good to see them all...and i know kenny was very excited to see shannon! we got back to louisville and just crashed last night...going to bed at 9:00!! it takes a lot out of you to travel!! back to work at 7am...
