Last night was one of those nights when you realize how perfect family can be. Picture a long table at Ruby Tuesday, add parents, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, girlfriends, boyfriends, sisters, brothers and friends. We are a loud, obnoxious, opinionated group. The jokes flow freely, no politics (although we could go there) just banter about the weeks events... its all good... If I could capture moments like that in a bottle I could sell it for millions. We are good -- we are good for each other-- we love, we like and we are family.
It doesn't take much to get us together..say birthday, say holiday, say something good happened to me and we descend like vultures... Last night it was bittersweet.. My in-laws were saying goodbye... they were leaving the rat race of NOVA.. and making a good change... a Florida change...probably the hardest decision to make but somehow I know it was the right decision.. one we talk about here alot... getting away.. loosing the stress of "this area" We can't imagine what life will be like without them here but we can imagine the goodness that awaits them there.
And did I mention the Braves won??? Way to go Nicholas!! While I can't quite get into baseball it was alot of fun getting play by play during the first part of dinner while he was playing in a tournament game--what would we do without cellphones??... yep they go on to play Saturday--Keeping our fingers crossed that the luck follows them to Little River!
