Down in Mississippi

I went home to MS last weekend and got home Thursday. Adam couldn't make the trip b/c of work (surprise haha) so, he insisted I just go ahead without him. He knew I wanted to see my fam. Great husband, I know. He assured me Charlie and him would be fine and, they'd just have a "guys weekend".

It was great to see my family of which some I haven't seen since July. This is a long time for us! Not much has changed in ol' Carriere, but then again, that's what I like about it. Mom, Candace, Anna Kay, Parker, and I went to the infamous street fair and saw a lot of, well, junk. But we didn't forget to get a funnel cake and some delicious lemonade! And if there's one thing I learned, it's that my nephew, Parker, loves to be pushed in a stroller or pulled in his wagon. So, that's what we did Saturday night. Oh, he also loves Reggie and I think, Reggie loves him too.

Mom also rode me through town to check out Paw Paw's new billboard. We 'thank he's loss his mind'. Ha! We love him oh so much!

It was fun hanging out with Momma and Parker during the week. I can't believe Parker is a little boy and not a baby anymore! I also met up with my 'Florida girls' in Hattiesburg Tuesday night. We had a good time even though it was a short time. They always make me laugh 'till it hurts. We talked of another trip to Florida for Anna Kay, Rachel, and Chelsey's graduation. It would be a lot of fun! I meant to get a picture, but I forgot to take it. Next time!

All in all, it was fun trip home. It's nice to see what everyone is up to. As I said, I flew home Thursday and I had the most terrifying flight from Cleveland to Richmond. We hit terrible turbulence that was unexpected. And yes, I freaked out a little bit. Thankfully, I made it home safely and I was so happy to see Adam. This is the first time we've been apart since we got married. I was also happy to see Charlie!

We're making plans for another move again! After Christmas, we'll be moving to Clarksville, TN. We're both really excited because it will be a lot closer to both of our families. I'm working on getting my TN teaching license, so I'm hoping I can find a job when we get there. We already have the dates set for the packers and movers. (The Army moves you from place to place which is nice.) So, we only have a month left in Virginia. It's been fun!

Before we move to Clarksville, we plan on spending Christmas with our families. We are especially looking forward to that! So, we'll be making the long trip home to MS with Charlie in tow. I hope he travels well!

Hope everyone is well!

Love, Ashley
