Halcyon Repose

Ah the rush of the holidays are finally over. The great thing is that I managed to finish up all my projects at work before leaving for my vacation, and I get back, and everyone is out of the office until after the 2nd. Of course this means a lot of looking for something to do. I would much rather be overrun with problems and running myself frantic all day versus having nothing to do all day. Bleh.

My trip home went exceptionally well. My cousin’s wedding was beautiful, and I’ll hopefully have pictures up this weekend. I always enjoy seeing the family and this holiday was no exception. I rarely get to see the extended family in Georgia and Alabama, so it is always nice to visit with them for awhile. After a couple of days in Newnan, we swung by Alabama to visit my mother’s side of the family, whom I have not seen since I moved to California.

After that it was all the way back to Tennessee. Now that was a relaxing trip. Naps every day, and some chill time with the friends and family. I didn’t get to see everyone in Nashville due to some conflicting schedules, but that is always the case.

After talking with some of my friends back here, and listening to all the family drama they got to go through, it really make me appreciate my family all that much more. We have very little drama in the family (compared to others at least) and it makes them all the more special.
