Family

Today was a great day spent with great people. We had 21 guests come to the lake for Sunday Funday. It was great having everyone together. Rachel and Blake were both off work and were able to make the 2 hour trip! It was just like old times again.

Denny and I both talked on the way home about how blessed we feel to have such wonderful families that surround us. Outside of our own families, we have "extended" mom's and dad's that are always looking out for us. It's nice knowing you have so many people who care about you. I makes me sad to think that some of us might not always be around to have these moments. We never know where life may take us and we all have so many different passions in life. S is in seminary, R and B are off saving the world in their helicopters, P is headed to grad school so he can recreate historical beauty, T is headed to Auburn for forestry school, and the rest of us are all over Metro Atlanta doing our own things. It makes me sad to think that one of us might be led somewhere far off and won't just be 15 minutes down the road.

I told some friends of mine the other day that I wish they all would stay in college so we would always have summers off together. It kind of hit me that no one else will have this once they graduate unless they become a teacher! :)

I also had a very touching moment with a sweet friend of mine. We were hanging out the other day and he paid me a great compliment. Mid conversation, he told me that when he gets older and decides to get married, he hopes she's just like me. He kept telling me not to take it the wrong way and all I could think was, "why would I take that the wrong way!?" He probably has no idea how much that meant to me and I hope he knows that I wasn't blowing him off by laughing and continuing with my book - I was just trying to fight off the tears. So to you, my dear friend, thank you!!

Not to leave CrossFit out of the story - last Friday's WOD was called "BULL." We had 40 minutes to complete 800 singles (800 jumps on a jump rope. No Debbie, it's not a typo!), 50 pull-ups, 50 OH Squats, and run 1 mile. I was so proud to say I completed everything but only made it through 400 singles. I could have made about 150 more if I had more time but by the end, my legs felt like they weighed a ton a piece.

I also happened to make the website. WHY I could have a B.A looking picture like everyone else, I don't know. But at least its proof that A) I attend class and B) I freakin bust it! Enjoy! :)
