Last weekend I took my first trip back to SC since our move to Wisconsin. I was asked to be in a wedding in Columbia and went down a day early to spend a little time in the upstate. On my way into town I became a little chocked up. It was my first time back since that looong summer in the hospital and it hit me a bit. I first went to Boiling Springs and took a drive thru our old neighborhood. The house pretty much looked the same except for a few bushes and it looks like it could use a new roof. Brandon's fence was still up and it was fun to see some of the trees we planted and how big they have become. After that I went visit my girlfriend Machelle and check out her new salon, Kidz Kutz. Then it was on to Woodsberry. I got chocked up again driving into the neighborhood and when I got to Martin & Nancy's and seen Nancy I had a few tears. It was so nice to see them again and they were kind enough to let me stay the night with them. We went out for Mexican, something I had been craving since we moved. Wisconsin really doesn't have any good Mexican restaurants, at least I haven't found one yet. It was great catching up and seeing them all again.

Friday morning I was back on the road heading to Columbia for the bridal luncheon. When I pulled up to the restaurant I spotted Joni & Stacey went over to say hello and I lost it again. I hadn't realized just how much I had missed them until I saw them again. They have been in our lives thru so much and will always be Aunt Joni & Aunt Stacey to Jackson. I love them like my own family. Anyway, the luncheon was beautiful and it was good to see some of their friends and family that I had already known and to meet the rest of them and Paul's relatives.

Friday evening was the wedding rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. Both went well and of course a few more tears were shed. Especially at the dinner where I had to say a little something about the bride to be.
