Sunday to Monday...

So Sunday at my parents' church, Mt. Zion, the message was just for me. I'm being so serious. It sounds so religious and corny but it's true. It was about Elijah. Nothing in me wanted to listen. I was going to pull a book out to read, I was going to send texts to the west coast, I was going to make a list of things for the children's ministry at Elevate. However, for some reason I kept making myself pay attention even though it was tough. I'm so thankful I did. I've been such a big mess for a long time now so I'm meeting with an old mentor while I'm in town and I cannot wait to discuss Elijah with her. Thank you Mama Beck. After church I ate "real" mexican with the parentals. White cheese dip alone satisfied me. Sunday afternoon I went to my oldest sister's house and swam with the boys all day. We played all kinds of games. Later, mom brought dinner over and we all ate outside. That night I slept with Cade. Oh my goodness, that child slept right up on me all night.

Monday morning I woke up and got ready to head to GA. Stopped at Paw-Paw's in Oxford and had fried okra, fried zucchini, tomato, and peas. I'm going to be so fat when I get back to Cali, yikes! Then off to Douglasville for a pit stop at Dunkin Donuts to see Brittany and Jessica Vickers Edenfield. Then finally off to Warner Robins. Got here a little before 6. Walked in the door, washed my hands and grabbed Rowan. My bro-in-law and sister laughed and said,"Well hey, no hug or hello for us I guess." I was so pumped to see Rowan. He is more than I ever dreamed of. Perfect skin, long hair, so sweet. Hollie, Rowan and I took a short walk and the weather felt just like the beach :) I'm so glad to be "home". The smells, the noises, the family, the love, the friendships. Before I moved away I knew that I was blessed but now I really really know how blessed I am. I realize that not everyone is super close with their family like I am with mine. I realize that other people don't have friendships like I do. It is wonderful to be here and feels almost unreal. I miss a few friends in California but they'll be there when I get back :) Off to bed.
