Recharging Batteries

Comanche and I spent an extended weekend visiting family in Arkansas and Oklahoma. The drive was incredible - both ways! I had such an enjoyable time talking with my son. We talked about everything from the outer solar systems to how cool it is to just sit and be quiet. We both had a fantastic time recharging our batteries with the Moad and Rainwater side of the family. Steve and Mac were tons of fun to be with, their families were breathtaking (as always) and it was sooooo good to see Mom and Murry...they both looked great and were such a pleasure to stay with.

We were able to recharge our batteries. There is no easier way to say it. We love our home, family, and friends in Kentucky; but there is something about seeing our Midwestern family that rejuvenates and refreshes us. We laugh until we pee, we visit until our tongues are tired, and we are lavished with hugs, kisses, pampering, and Braum's ice cream until we feel as if we have enough energy built up to keep us until the next time.

The weather could not have been more perfect, the timing with each family member was impeccable, and love abounded from every pore in our souls. I thoroughly enjoyed spending quality time with my niece and nephews. Chase and Eli fill my heart with pure sweetness and Addy gives as good as she gets (which is absolutely adorable to watch and participate in).

I am doubly blessed when it comes to family. Actually..triple blessed. My husband and son are true gifts from God, my KY family is so wonderful, and my Midwestern family is the epitome of love and happiness. Thank you, God.
