Trip to Alabama =)

The last week of December and of 2010 passed by quickly. We arrived back at home, had a few days to settle back in, have a new years eve party and leave again.

This is Ethan, Ash, my Memaw, me, and Mom =)

This last trip was not expected, but needed. My Memaw (great-grandmother on my moms side) lives in Alabama along with cousins, aunts, and uncles. My Memaw's sister-in-law passed away in November on Thanksgiving and her brother passed away a few weeks later right around Christmas. My mom decided it would be best if we went to see Memaw and just comfort her so my mom, Ash, Ethan and I took the trip. I helped drive which was fun =) It was so good to see all my family. It wasn't an easy trip because I was ready to be home but I'm glad I got to see everyone.

While we were there our friends, the Stapletons who we haven't seen since March 2010, from Tennessee came to see us. We spent a whole day together walking around the mall (and Target), playing cards and catching up. Hopefully we wont have to wait that long to see each other next time! =) That was definitely the highlight of my trip and I am so thankful it worked out.

Me, Ash, Haley, and Matt found an empty spot in Target and talked for a couple of hours while our moms were in the Starbucks talking and our little brothers ran around. We had so much fun in there (check out the Facebook pictures).

All the kids crammed into the back =)

Matt, Luke, Ethan, Johnny, Ash, Me, and Haley!

There are so many more pictures (lots of funny ones too) so go look at them on Facebook! =)
