Midnight Plane To Georgia Part 2

So, I guess I will just pick up right where I left off.  Our trip to Georgia was so much fun.  While we were in town we were able to visit with my dad, my grandma, Aunt Lecia and Cousin Justin.  We had such a nice time eating a catching up.

We also got to spend a morning at the park.

Thanks to Meme for these glittery bad boys that Mattie LOVES!!!

We spent several days with my mom, my sister Heather and her boyfriend Ben.  My Mom, Mattie and I totally took over Heather and Ben's house.   I have to say, Ben was a trooper.  Three days and nights consecutively, plus random days and nights here and there for two and a half weeks, with a house full of women and a three year old. He deserves a medal!!!  I had the best time with them.  Heather and I got super close over the last 4+ years working together, and I have missed her so much.  It was so awesome to get to spend that time with her and my mom.

While eating Pho? with Auntie Heather and Ben, we discovered Mattie loves egg rolls.

You know I had to have some good BBQ while I was in town!

Mattie also loves fried pickles.  She is totally my kid!

Catching lightning bugs in Great Gran's front yard.  I remember doing this in Granny's front yard as a kid so, it was the best ever getting to do it with Mattie.

Watching Harry Potter at Auntie Heather's with Dobby :)

Lunch at the Fickle Pickle.

Playing a little game of softball in Heather's backyard.

A trip to Georgia would not be complete without a visit with the Urrea Clan.  We enjoyed an evening hanging out with Trisha, Eddy, Harrison and Ella.  The kids had a blast.  They played so hard that Mattie literally passed out before I pulled out of their driveway.

I feel that this picture pretty much sums up the night.

In addition to spending time with the above Urrea Family, we also snuck in some time with our other Urrea Family aka Nick, Michelle, Lilly and Tyler.  With both Urrea Families accounted for we were only missing Adam to make it feel complete.  During our visit Trisha reminded me that we are all approaching our 10 year anniversaries.  Both Urrea couples and Adam and I all started dating 10 years ago this summer/fall.  We all met and hung out for the first time 10 years ago this New Year's Eve (Adam, Nick, and Eddy have been friends since they were kids).  Wow!!!! Times flies!!!  So thankful to have these people in our lives, they really have become a part of our family!

Hey! Great Gran, get in this really small tent with me. 

Mattie loves to sweep.  

Playing bubbles at CC's in my crazy hat from YaYa.

A little pool time with Molly B.

They needed a rest after all that pool excitement!

Kelly, we are in trouble!!! 

Last, but certainly not least Mattie and I were finally able to see Crossfit Sweat Mountain!  Adam's sister Kelly and her husband Matt started a Crossfit gym in Woodstock earlier this year.  It was so great to see in the flesh their accomplishment.  Such an awesome space.  If any of you are looking for a place to join I highly recommend it, I know Adam can't wait to get in there for a WOD. :)  So proud of you guys!!!

Matt making pull ups look ridiculously easy.  Guess what…they are NOT easy,  I can't even do one!!!

Molly has style, she will only sport Ray Bans!

Mattie and I both had such a wonderful trip home.  We enjoys tons of yummy southern food and I reunited with my first love…sweet tea ( I have missed it so much).  We saw rain again for the first time in many months and enjoyed the sounds of nights in the south (I miss the sounds of insects at night).  Most of all we had a blast with our family and friends.  Loads of belly laughs, late night talks, and hugs and kisses from family and loved ones.  We enjoyed seeing everyone and can't wait to see y'all again at Christmas.  Until next time Georgia.

XOXO
