Goin' to Alabama!!

Alright! I'm going to Alabama in August! Normally I do not take trips by myself, let alone on an airplane, but circumstances this year have made it possible for me to do just that, and to want to!

My big sister, Michele, lives in Alabama with her family and all her animals! I recently saw her for the first time in 7 years back in April, when we both went to Nebraska! But, I've never met her husband, and haven't seen my niece or nephews since 2002! So, I'm super-excited to see the kids, however, the last time I saw my niece, Moriah (aka Mo) I was the age she is now (17, well barely 18, anyway.....) and that makes me feel old, not to mention I will be 30 years old this month (stayed tuned for another blog about that)

I am also going to see my real Mom again. It has been 12 years since I last saw her, and I'm excited & nervous all at the same time. In fact, I think I more nervous about this trip, than the one to Nebraska! I recently started talking with her again, and its been a welcomed relationship.
God really worked hard on me, showing me things I'd never seen before, and opening a door for me to step away from past, and into the present & future with not only her, but a lot of people in my family! How blessed I am!!!

So, I'm flying out on August 10 and coming back on August 15.....I'm really nervous, but then again, I can hardly wait for the next 2 months to fly by so I can go!

Meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy our jam-packed summer fun....the lake, pool, birthdays, parades, vacation, friends, snowcones, popsicles, homemade ice cream, and playing in the sprinkler....all with my kids; heck, we might even venture to the waterpark this summer!
