4th of July

Here's an update on my American Life. Chris arrived in Jackson on Monday June 30th. We spent the week helping him find his way around Jackson and just spending quality time together. This past weeked for the 4th we were able to see lots of friends and family.

The weekend started on Thursday night when Chris and I met up with several of my High School friends. We went to Mugshots and had a fun time visiting and eating a dang good hamburger (well everybody else ate a hamburger... i had a grilled chicken sandwich).

Friday we spent the day with the Varners-- a family that Chris worked with in Turkey. We had a great time eating good food, fishing at the pond, and shooting fireworks.


Saturday night we spent the time at my sister's house where we cooked out again. My daddy joined us and we all had a good time.


Then on Sunday after going to church at Pinelake we headed down to Brookhaven to meet all the family. Mama cooked a huge lunch: ribs, baked beans, twice-baked potatoes, bread, and homemade peach icecream. She made me a special little meal with Chicken and other things my belly can tolerate a little better. (i have the best mama in the world!).


After lunch, Chris, my sister, her husband, and I headed down to the creek behind mama's house.


Our dogs (Allie and Gus) loved it and I'll have to say I had a pretty good time myself!

It was a great weekend with lots of fun memories. I'm so glad Chris is here and we can start making these memories together!
