It Did

Just when I thought it couldn't get better, it did. This past weekend I faired the brisk elements and headed west down that stretch of I40 towards Jackson, TN. It was a new experience to drive during what we in the south would call blizzard like conditions. Thank goodness my radio or cd player isn't broken in my car or else it would have been a long, boring trip. But don't you worry, I made it to Jackson safe and sound. This past weekend was just what I needed. I got to see more snow then I have seen in years. Sorry mom for the snowballs. How often will I get the chance to hit you with them? That was an opportunity that I wasn't going to dare pass up. Spending time with my Grandfather is something I hold dear to my heart. He has taught me so much over the years and I can only imagine how much I have still to learn from him. He even taught me the ins and outs of shoveling snow. I'm telling you, he is something else. I really do enjoy seeing my family. They make up part of who I am and I am very thankful for each member because they are a blessing to me. It never fails that my grandmother has the best breakfast that I could ask for. And I got to eat Snowcream for the first time. That was a real treat. I haven't seen my mom that excited in a long time. I do wish that my dad and brother could have been with me. They would have enjoyed being with family and seeing the snow. The distance to Jackson is much too short for me not to take advantage of more often. Two hours in a car isn't bad at all, and I know the reward when I get there is going to always be great.






And just so you know, I have dubbed this little tike as "Hand-full Hunter". I can see he is going to be fun watching get older.


Last night Shannon Leigh pointed out to me that there are only a few more weeks left in this semester. This is something I definitely did not have run across my mind before. So I have decided to make the most of these weekends coming up. I have a rock climbing trip, a camping trip, and also a few photo trips lined up. But I wouldn't mind having a free weekend to do some catching up, or possibly have someone to go with me on my adventures. Oh you.
(random thought #1) The film Walk The Line is definitely on my top 3. Yes, holding strong in the 3rd spot.
