Rollin' on the Rivah

This weekend my best friends (and sorority sisters) in the entire world came down to see me!!! In my very first blog entry about a year ago, I explained my wonderful pals. They are the infamous Brownies. (Now how we came to the name ourselves the Brownies is a very long story, that which will find it's appropriate place in a future blog.) For further character explanation of the Brownie, please refer to Laura's blog entry.

Friday, after a long and stressful day, Dubya and I packed down my car and headed up 65 to Athens to my grandfather's rivah camp. It's a slice of Heaven on Earth. Don't believe me? See for yourself! We spent our entire weekend basking in the sun on my birthday present....an island raft! We ate wonderful food, drank tasty concoctions, talked, talked, talked, jumped off the dock, danced to Michael Jackson, visited to with my Poppy....I could yammer on, but I won't bore you anymore.

After spending long weekends with friends that I don't see near enough, it really makes me step back and thank God for all the blessings he has placed in my life. I have a husband who does more than any other husband I have heard of, a great job, and a wonderful family that doesn't get caught up in material things in life and focuses on the things that matter. Though I wouldn't rate my blessings in any order, my Brownies are one that I pulled out all the lucky cards on. Life is good.

{On a side note, my sister Sally got engaged this weekend!!!}
