Fall Break '08

The past few days for me have been a complete blur. It is amazing how time passes by when you are caught up in each day. Friday night, Mike and I headed to Birmingham to stay the night at my parents home. Of course, Mom was there to greet us with open arms and it sure was great seeing her. Saturday morning Mike and I hit the road once again to head South. That's right... THE BEACH. My dad and brother were already there and waiting anxiously for us to arrive. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. Mike really liked it once we got there. We unpacked and immediately went fishing. Now, if you know a lot about me and what I like to do, then you can bet that I was enjoying every second of it. We were on the water from about 2 till dark. Some great fishing (even though it wasn't my lucky day to say the least) and everyone enjoyed themselves. The next morning we were up before the sun and started our day off right. We waited for the seas to calm but it just wouldn't cooperate. So, we headed out anyways and let Mike get a chance to earn his sea legs. No luck out in the gulf but we had a blast just spending time together. We celebrated Matt's 24th birthday... He is getting old fast but I am close behind him. Monday we headed to the river to see my Uncle Sunny. He showed us how life on the river and back woods really is. We had a ball getting to ride the four wheelers and boats. It was a great day indeed!

It was great getting to spend time with my dad and brother and also Mike. It was even better getting to do the things I love doing while being around them. Spending time with family is what keeps my feet on the ground. I wouldn't have it any other way!
