Sunny Sunday

So sorry it has been so long since I've written a blog. I've been pretty busy the last few weeks. Since I've written my family has been down here twice! The second time was a complete surprise. My mom called Tuesday evening and said they were leaving at 6 the next morning and heading this way. Their was an auction my step-dad needed to attend in Spartanburg, which is about 1 hour from here. His boss and his wife also rode down with them b/c their son lives in Greenville, SC. It was so nice to see them again! We had a great time together. I"m looking forward to the next visit from friends and family!

I've turned 30 years old since I've blogged...I can't believe it. That used to sound so old to me and now I'm there! It hit me yesterday when I found out a girl that I work with, whom I assumed was around the same age as me was only 18! And when asked how old I was, I had to say 30. I just picture myself as a girl in my twenties still. Wow, time flies! I can remember my freshman year of college like it was yesterday...it was ten years ago!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'm getting depressed...moving on.

I'm sitting out here on my beloved porch swing. It is one of those days that you just have to be outside no matter what. 7o degrees, blue, sunny skies, a nice breeze...ahhh, so refreshing and beautiful! Even though there is a lot of stuff that could be done inside, it will have to wait. This is what the weather will be like in heaven, I just know it! :) Getting back to my porch swing, I love it! It was a b-day gift from my mother-in-law. We live out in the country, so it is so peaceful, except for the occasional dog barking. Across the street from us is nothing but a forest...the wind sounds so loud coming through it, but it is calming. I have many great memories from when I was a child that took place while sitting on a porch swing. It was on my grandma and grandpa Frazie's back porch. As a child I was blessed to live right next door to one set of grandparents. One of my memories is of me and my grandma Dodie snapping green beans, while swinging and talking. Another memory is of me, my grandma and grandpa swinging one summer evening during a big storm. We watched the rain surround us, while it rolled off the porch roof. Those are great memories, maybe that is why I love my porch swing so much. :)

Well, I hope you all enjoy your Sunday as much as I am. Have a great week!
