There is nothing more special than seeing family and friends to make the heart feel whole. Since my husband is in the military we only get to visit home (Alabama) about once a year. It has been over two years for him and one for me since our last visit. So this past week we flew home for a week for the wedding of one of his childhood best friends. It was great to see our friends and family. Although the heat, humidity and bugs made us really appreciate living in Washington state, where we are now stationed. Due to some bad weather getting back to Seattle proved to be a complete pain and we ended up having to leave from another airport the following morning.
Visiting some of our Navy friends that are now stationed in the south.

Oh, can't forget me and my bestie on my birthday
“Being Southern isn't talking with an accent...or rocking on a porch while drinking sweet tea, or knowing how to tell a good story. It's how you're brought up -- with Southerners, family (blood kin or not) is sacred; you respect others and are polite nearly to a fault; you always know your place but are fierce about your beliefs. And food along with college football -- is darn near a religion.” -Jan Norris
Oh, and ROLL TIDE!!
