After a very restful and fun few days with Laura and family, I got back in the car to drive to Birmingham. I met up with the family for a couple days of Birthday Celebrations.
We celebrated my birthday (which is actually this week) the first night by going out to a fun tex mex restaurant! And then celebrated Gary's birthday the 2nd night with a bbq with both sides of the family.
Cat and G's special friend Lonnie went with us to dinner. He is so cute and so sweet
Happy 30th Birthday Gary!
After a fun couple days in BHam it was time for me to go back to reality in the big apple.
It was a great vacation! I feel like I was able to really rest. Rest my mind, rest my heart, rest my body. I LOVED my 12 hours(btwn places) in the car alone. I miss that here. The peace and quietness you can have while driving. I feel like i was able to really meet with the Lord in those quiet hours behind the wheel. I'm not sure how to get that here. I mean I have "my rock" but people steal that sometimes. I run with my ipod and pray or take walks, but people are still everywhere. Unless I am in my apt I am never alone. And when I am in my apt I am distracted with tv or cleaning or things I need to be doing. I miss that time with the Lord. I don't miss buying gas or car maintenance, but I do miss praying and singing and just being while driving.
Thankful for my vacation. Thankful for a time of rest before the busyness of fall.
