August 16th...
Well today is the day we leave and head back to TN. It was hard to say goodbye to my dad, I could tell he was putting off his hugs for the kids for the very last minute. Goodbye's to my sisters weren't as painful as the first time just because I know now how easy it is to come home and visit. (And I use the term "easy" VERY loosely...30+ hours in a car is never easy)
It was great to see everyone, and I'm sorry for those I didn't get the chance to catch up with while we were here. I don't know when the next visit will be, but I will more than likely have my husband with me that time :)
**Oh my, first rest stop we hit on the way home was in Montana somewhere, it was pitch black outside and all we could hear was a hoot owl somewhere in the trees. Faith and I were coming out of the bathrooms, back to the car and there was a wall we had to go around. I was in front so as I came around the wall I gasped and jumped back like something scared me and Faith's reaction was hilarious! She screamed like I had never heard before for about 10 seconds straight with her hands over her face. It was so funny, I'm laughing right now as I type this. I got her so good, I was very proud of myself...until we got into the car. Jo got her even better and completely stole my glory. Faith was sitting in the backseat with the kids and she had forgotten about Jo who was sitting in the very back. She was calming down from the scare she just got from me when out of nowhere Jo sat up in the back and made some crazy sound while she was yawning. Her scream was about 1,000 times longer and louder than the one outside! Jo got her so scared that she was crying before her heart finally resumed to normal beating.
Ahh....it was awesome. A night I will never forget, my throat hurt from all the laughing by the time we had all calmed down. Love you Faith! :) And for once it wasn't me who was getting scared!!
