VIRGINIA OR BUST

My mom, Sarah Catherine, and I are on our way back from Lynchburg, VA visiting my brother, Jason, and his family! Seeing as Sarah Catherine and I hadn't been in 5 years, we were well overdue. Like any vacation, preparation is part of the excitement (for me anyway.. just another way to put my organizational skills to work) but, the 10 hour trip is complete torture at about the 8th hour especially!!

After our arrival and hugging my big brother and sweet sister in law I saw my little nephew, Jaxon, who had grown a foot and is the exact replica of his daddy at that age! He was so excited to see us he began to run around showing us his spiderman act ( again just like his dad, except instead of spiderman it was star wars). I stood there for a minute pondering his life and what a blessing it truly is! I was so grateful for the time Sarah Catherine and Jaxon were able to spend playing and, more importantly, bonding. After resting, eating at some very good restaurants, cooking a home cooked meal for J, and having overdue playtime with my little nephew the 4 days, that took me 2 weeks to prepare for, was over in a snap! As my mom and I gathered our things and got an early start home, on this early Sunday morning, we prayed for a safe trip home and for God to bless Jason and his family! Driving down the interstate I look in my rear view mirror and see massive mountains that meet a sky that looks like it is on fire. Gods beautiful artwork (which still baffles me that people can see the same thing and not believe in our Lord). Jus as excited as we were to visit Virginia we are just as excited to head back to Sweet Home Alabama!
