144. OK family



Today was a whirlwind day of the best kind because we saw lots of loved ones in a short 24 hours.

We started the morning with my granny, brother, and dad.  MM cooked us all bacon, eggs, and biscuits for breakfast and we spent some time together.  My great aunt Mary (Granny's sister) passed away and her funeral was scheduled while we were home, I was grateful to be able to attend with the the rest of the family.  She lived a long, full life and is preceded in death by my great uncle.  It's always sad to say goodbye, but we know we will see her again. 

After the services MM, Baby J, and I headed down the interstate to Tulsa for an impromptu overnight with his parents.  We spent the afternoon and evening with MM's mom, dad, sisters, papa, a couple close friends.  Everyone loved getting to play with Baby J- the star of all visits!  If you have yet to have children, just understand that once you do, your visits are second rate to the visit of the baby!  Haha.

It was fantastic to see everyone and get in quality family time.  MM was so happy driving into Tulsa.  I love that I married a strong, family-loving man.  Sometimes we want to give up the military lifestyle and settle down close to everyone we love already.  Until then we will appreciate the visits we are able to make and cherish the moments we have.
