Photo Shoot

Hanging out with my sister and her family this week has been absolutely amazing. It was great connecting again with her kids, Zoe, Charis, and Miah. To make the week absolutely perfect, Amos was able to be home as well, so Mandy, Tony, Amos, and I all got to hang out late at night after the young and old had been laid down to sleep. This week was awesome and well worth missing the first week of classes and all the makeup work I have waiting for me in the beautiful state of TN.

Today, our last day together, Mandy offered to take Amos and I out and take a few pictures. She's an amazing artist/photographer/writer/person/sister, and therefore we of course jumped at the chance to get awesome pictures and spend time with Mandy. Here's one of our favorites:

You can see some more pictures here

I leave tomorrow morning to head back to TN, back to school, back to work, back to being away from the people I love most. But I have been blessed this week with all the time I have been able to spend with them. Who knows when the opportunity will arise again when I can have all my loved ones together at the same time, so this week will be cherished until the next time.

On a lighter note, heading back to TN is not all bad either. I am surrounded by those I love there too, so no complaints here.

As a side note, thank God for the invention of the cell phone and free calling within your network. Amos and I racked up over 8000 minutes one month.
