Trip to SC

So I went to SC for a little Anderson College reunion. I ended going down a couple of days early and spent some good time with my parents. It was just Rebekah and I on the trip since Jonathan had to preach on Sunday, and I was kind of nervous making the drive by myself. I was pleasantly surprised with the way Rebekah traveled. She did so great! We made the trip in about 5 hours (both going down and coming back). Not too bad! We stopped at McDonalds on the way, so I think that helped. I had a great time with my mom and dad. It doesn’t seem to matter how old I get I still feel like a little girl sometimes when I’m with my parents. I got this feeling when my dad and I shared boiled peanuts and pimento cheese and crackers. It’s a great feeling! We all got to enjoy going out to eat and walking on trails, but I think the most enjoyable time for all of us was the grandparents playing with Rebekah. She had a blast playing with all the Christmas decor Grandma already had up (I know…way to early). She enjoyed riding on Grandpa’s shoulders and riding on the train. It was a joy to see my parents play with their granddaughter. It was also a joy to see Rebekah play with Jonathan’s parents. We got to visit for a few hours, and Rebekah was all about cuddling with Nana and Papa. She was so sweet and loved Nana’s childhood baby doll. The whole trip was a great success, but it was still hard to leave Jonathan behind. It is not easy to take a trip away from my husband…we do everything together. I don’t feel the same until I’m back home with him. I think if Rebekah could talk she would agree.  There was an endless amount of hugs and kisses when we got home.
