Hi. I’m alive. My blogging hiatus lasted longer than I thought it would but omg I was so busy at work yesterday. I had a great time…relaxed A LOT which was much needed…saw a lot of my family…took a lot of pictures and of course, ate a lot. I went about this trip differently than my other trips. I made no plans to see any friends. At first I hated that I was going about it that way. But I knew if I started making plans to see friends then I’d be SO tied up trying to be fair and see everyone I could and then I’d be stressed and busy and annoyed. I just couldn’t handle it this time. Especially not for a holiday. I saw 1 friend the whole week I was there. I hung out with family. I laughed. I watched movies. I just had a really nice time.

It was so great to see my mom. I still worry about her. She seems like she’s getting more and more crazy with each time I see her. Just repeating a lot of the same things…worse speech…more forgetful. Makes me sad. I try to cherish each time I see her because who knows when it will be the last, you know? I hate to sound ominous but it is what it is. It made me so happy though to see her bursting with joy at having all 3 of her grandkids together. I was super excited to see my nephew again. It had been a year since I saw him last when I hugged him and kissed him last week. So, here are a couple of pictures from the trip. I took way too many to post so I picked 2 of my favorites.

 By the way, crappy family member? Still crappy. Shocker, yes I know.

In other news, Hannah’s birthday party is this weekend. We always do it a couple weeks before her birthday. She’ll be 7 on the 18th. 7. How in the hell do I have a 7 year old?

Oh yeah- and we get to go out like grown ups tomorrow night for our anniversary finally. Super excited about this!

And um, they’re saying it’s going to snow here today. It’s snowed 2 times in the 8 years I’ve lived here. My ride home from work today is going to be kick ass *insert major sarcasm* Have a great weekend y’all!
