Home again

Well...I am finally back home! It took me nearly two weeks to get from New York to Kentucky, but it was so worth it to be able to fall back into my own bed.

My trip to SlapOut was wonderful. I have been craving time with the Gates for SO long!






<----Stephanie, Asher Paul and I :)












Our last few visits have been short, one of always on the way to somewhere else. So it was great for my purpose to be spending time with Stephanie. We had a great few days together, with ice cream, good BBQ, good friends (and new friends...HI LAURA!!) and a much needed morning on the river!! Stephanie and I even managed to find time for one of our famous walks on SlapOut's famous walking track!! Good times. Thanks Stephanie and Brian for welcoming me in and for all the great conversation!!!





<-----The river we went down!








After Alabama it was off (incredibly early in the morning) to Atlanta. For those of you who didn't know, Kris' dad was in the ICU - so I went to go be with him and his family. I was there Wednesday through Saturday (which is why I didn't make it through Birmingham and Nashville - sorry to everyone that I missed on I65!!) I am glad to say that the report Kris got today was great - his dad is talking and able to move around, and they are hoping he will be moving into rehabiliation soon. Thanks for all the prayers!!!

Kris had flown into Atlanta, so he rode back with me to Kentucky, and we took a long detour into Knoxville so he could show me where he used to live and work. We ate at this great restaurant called Aubery's where Kris is still a legand (which made for a free meal for us!!) It was fun to get to meet some of his old friends. We ended up not getting back into Lexington until after 1am, and after dropping him off at his house, and unloading my car, it was nearly 3am before I fell into bed.

I start back to work tomorrow and I am really excited about getting back into the swing of things and making a little cash!! I have had a nice two days off to recover, unpack, clean my little house (which was a HORRID WRECK after three boys living in it all summer!!) and play with my sweet pups! School will be starting back in a few weeks, and I am anxious to get back, because this is the beginning of my LAST year!! Yay!! (hopefully!)
