Visit to Mississippi

I grew up in Mississippi until I was in 4th grade.  All of my extended family still live in all different parts of the state. We try to get back there as often as we can because I truly love going back.  It still feels like home when I get there even though things have changed and our families have moved to different towns.  My cousin, Jill, and her husband have recently adopted the most precious baby boy.  I was so anxious to get over to see him and to hold that sweet blessing.  My sister and I decided to take a girls trip over for the weekend and spend some quality time with our relatives.  The day before I left Brooke was dying to go with me...so she packed herself up and jumped in the car with me. She did AWESOME the whole weekend and I was so glad that she was there.  My Aunt Judy and Uncle Kurt have built an amazing location to live.  They have a beautiful lakeside home and my cousin house sits right across the lake where their front porches face each other.  My Dad and Edie came as well and we all got to celebrate Dad's 65th birthday.  My cousin, Hardy, and his wife and 3 children stayed there as well.  It was truly a family weekend and one that I won't ever forget.  I could have sat on Aunt Judy and Uncle Kurt's front porch and rocked in that chair for the rest of my life.  :)
