Today...

I haven't blogged in a while and I keep saying that I'm going to get better at it.  Today I have been sitting here for 2 hours doing nothing when I have so many things that I could be doing, but all I can think about is missing my family.  Maybe that's because I am in the process of making a dvd for my GG for her 80th birthday that is coming up in 2 weeks.  My mom has been sending some pictures of her and our family.  Here are some pictures.  

Her daddy walking her down the aisle on her wedding day! :)

My Grandfather and GG...I never met him, but I have heard my whole life that he was an extraordinary man, father, and grandfather.  My mom has told me stories that he loved being a granddaddy!

And this picture is my GG when she graduated high school, isn't she beautiful!

My GG is one of the neatest people I have ever met.  Amanda and I have learned so much more about her in the past several years.  Amanda learned that she was on the swim team...and even my mom didn't know that.  Funny, how older people "forget" to tell you things.  She is intelligent, she is witty, she can be mean, and she is loving.  She is someone that I have looked up to in my life and didn't even realize it until I got older.  I have watched her with her great grandchild and wish I could "really" remember how she was with Leslie and I when we were little.  She used to scream at us in the department stores because we would be hiding in the clothes racks, she would take us to McDonald's on Wednesday's because it was Senior Citizens Day and she could have her fried fish sandwich, she was always there for us whether that be Christmas morning or a dance recital.  I have grown to learn and appreciate everything that she has done for me over the years.  I'm sitting here crying thinking about all the wonderful times we have had together and I cannot wait to go home and hug her neck and tell her how much I love her on her birthday...I cannot wait.  

My GG and me!
