I feel like I've been away from the blog for soooo long. In reality it's only been a week and two days. Surely I've gone longer than this without an update. I made it to San Antonio, Tx from Port Richey, Fl in 16.5 hours. That's right, I drove down non-stop. I was weak though and did stop for food once. Shame on me. I think I am going to buy stock in the SoBe Energy drink company. Good stuff.
Since getting into town I have seen and played with my beautiful Godson Daylan James. It sucks that he's already walking and I missed out on all the baby stuff, but late is better than never. Then there's my lil' chocolate nugget, Khristopher. He's Daylan's cousin and as cute as can be. He's sooo sweet and loving. They seriously make me want some chirrens!! All in due time. I spent almost my first week at Ida's house. I got in Saturday morning around 3am and had my first day of work on Tues. I am off tomorrow and Monday (YAY!) Any way, I saw Virgil and his little girl. She's sooo freaking cute and BIG! His entire family is over 6' (Mom, Dad, Bro, and lil' sis). She's only two and is the size of a 4 year old. God bless her and the others...
It feels so wonderful being home. The familiar sights and sounds and even smells. There's truly no place like home. Everyone here is so polite. I'm no longer the outsider. People don't look at my skin color first here, they see a bubbly chic with a smile on her face. They see the face of contentment.
Any way, can't really talk too much, I have to drive out to Helotes (sp). My Grandma is there visiting from FL. It's about 45mins. from here, so I need to get a move on...
To my family, Y'all are missed every hour of every day. I wish I could come home and smell food cooking and have to help set the table. I long to hear you Mami lead the dinner prayer. I missing peeking and catching Vero and Estevie peaking too...I especially miss eating Dad's cornbread...On the flip side, I'm being taken care of. Ida is the closest thing I have to family out here. Her and Victoria. I wish you guys knew them two better. You'd love them as much as I do. All ready people are asking us if we're related!!! Even when we went to Hardbodies...LOL I'll see if they have post cards Vero...I'll send you one with some nekked mens that reads: Wish you were here! ROFLMAO!!!!! Okay, about to start tearing up, take care all, be safe and God Bless! It's already going to be 8pm here and I need to get some rest cause Marciece is taking me to church tomorrow. HUSH! Not one crack about lightening striking or fire or anything else (I've gotten my fill from Ida and Ciece himself)!!!!! I love you all. Hugs and Kisses and Fairie Wishes
