Home Sweet Home...

So, I finally had a day off from work on Saturday and I was able to go back home!!! Even though I was only there for a day (I had to work at 8am on Sunday) it was a lot of fun.

I got home Friday night after work and Mama, Daddy and I just sat around and talked about life in general until we all decided it was in our best interests to go to sleep. I woke up Saturday morning watched a little TV with Mama and Daddy before we started our day. Daddy had to cut the grass so he did, and we had planned the night before we were going to grill bratwurst and hot dogs for lunch :-) so Mama and I went to the grocery store.

With our individual missions accomplished we fired up the grill, waited for the charcoal to heat up (the best way to cook brats is over charcoal in my opinion), and we were on our way to a fantastic lunch. While Daddy got the grill ready I helped Mama cut squash into very thin layers because she was making fried squash for our side dish. Let me just tell you, Mama can fix some good food! We ate the squash almost as fast as she could get them out of the frying pan. We finished cooking and then sat down to eat.

The food was delicious! We watched "Defiance" while we ate, it is a really good movie that is a true story of how Jewish people from Bella-Russia survived during the Holocaust. I won't get into too much detail because I am giving it my Gold Star recommendation for anyone who is interested in watching it. After the movie we went to Grandma and Grandy's house to talk for a while before going to supper.

Supper took place at none other than San Jose (the best Mexican restaurant I've had thus far in my life). We ate, talked, joked, laughed, enjoyed the authentic Mexican tunes playing in the background it was an all around good time.

After supper we went back to the house for me to grab my stuff and say good-bye to the dogs (Xena, Sweetie, and Happy) and Garth our cat. I returned to Greenville and just relaxed for the night.

Usually on my blog I tend to stick to just the little stories of my life which hopefully the people of my blogosphere (the new level of the atmosphere that revolves around my blog) find amusing. But, today I just wanted to remind everyone how important family is. Our families are the people that God intended us to be with and learn from and also to cherish. So take time to enjoy the little things with your family because I think sometimes we take those moments for granted and don't realize we may never get another chance to experience them.
