"What", you might ask, "have I been doing this past month in a half.?"  I know I've been gone for a long time, but here is the answer: Family Vacation. :) For two whole weeks we went up to my Hometown in Indiana. You talk about FUN! This was the very best two weeks of my whole life. We never had so much fun in our lives. For 5 whole years we have been living here in the South... and it had been 3 1/2 years since we had been up to Indiana. I got to see friends and family that I hadn't seen in five years. You talk about amazing; It was!



We loaded up our van, and went to spend two whole weeks with all of our folks from Indiana. I love them, ya know that? Most all of my family lives up there, and I a LOT of friends too. =)  It was just like old times going back. We played Hide-and-go-seek at almost everyone's house.(And in the dark.) We laughed until our sides hurt. Stayed the night with... way too many people to count.(which I loved!!!) Got to go to the theaters with friends to see the movie "Courageous"(GO see that movie... it's a life changer, that is for sure.). Climbed hills. Watched movies. Ate until we were about to bust. Rode donkeys. Went to Church. Played basketball. Stayed up late, late nights... laughing, talking, playing games...and when we grew tired, just laughed over each other. =P Took pictures.  And... much, much more that would take forever to tell.

It was awesome going over our old grounds that we used to play in. Even got to go around, and sleep in the house we once lived it.  The whole trip rushed memory after memory into my head.  Everything looked so small... but I think that's because I have gotten bigger. ;)


I could tell you story after story of what we did while up in that wonderful state of Indiana. Two whole weeks is a long vacation... but then its a short one. Time flies faster then you can blink.  Sometimes I think it was all a dream. But it wasn't, and I will never forget those wonderful two weeks spent with the ones we love. <3

...Lets just say, it was the most amazing trip-- and I could sit here and talk about it all day long. But I won't. At least, we will save that for later. Now is the time to share a picture or two. :) (I took 645 pictures on the trip, and my blogger just can't hole that many... especially uploading as of right now. :P But I shall do some little by little. But your best bet is if your friends with me on Facebook, check them out there.)  Anyways, Enjoy, and have a splendid day... rejoicing in the goodness and love of our wonderful savior. <3 God bless!








We had the prettiest sites on the trip evvveeerrr. Hopefully more pictures coming next week. :)

Aww. Your sweet Joy, I'm so glad to be missed. :) Your comments make me smile, I'm glad to have such a blogger friend like you. I love hearing from you, dearie. <3

Thank you, it was a blast. I'm glad you liked the pictures. I loved taking them. :D

We live in Georgia. Indiana is... Like two states up from us. I'm not exactly sure how to explain where exactly Indiana is on the map. :P But it's a beautiful state, and I someday, maybe when I get married, want to move back... If its Gods will. I love the state, an the people in it. :) Where do you live, dear?

Emma: Hello! Why thank you, sweet girl! :) Your very kind. I absolutely LOVE taking pictures... What fun it is! Aww. I'm sure your a wonderful photographer, and as soon as possible I shall take a time out to look at your blog. I can't wait to see it. :)

Joy: Awww. Thank you... Thank you! I'm very honored and feel quite special. It makes me glad to know you love hearing from me, and that you consider me a wonderful blogger friend. Here- lets skip on down to your question- YES! I would l.o.v.e getting an email from you... How exciting, and *I* from someone out of America. ;) And when you send me an email, I shall save our talk above for that. So till then, Good Night, and have a beautiful night. God Bless you! <3

Joy said...

Hey, Grace! I'll be e-mailing you soon Lord willing; I am really excited about keeping in contact. If you don't mind, I'll delete my former comment as I don't want to have it written online where I live. Hope you don't mind :). God bless and talk to you soon!!!

REPEATING MY FORMER COMMENT, BUT EDITED(sorry to clutter up your comment box!)

:) I was so delighted to hear from you, Grace! I am really happy to have a blogger friend like you too <3.

Dear oh dear! Hmm... well, I wouldn't even know where Georgia is, so it would be hard to know where Indiana is either. In my studies, I was assigned to memorize the spelling of some states of America but Indiana and Georgia weren't in it :(.

But I ought to look it up! One day, it will be so wonderful to travel up to America, and then maybe I could visit you! I thought that was so sweet that you'd like to live in Indiana when you're married if it is the Lord's will :)... it must be really beautiful! Who knows, maybe that dream will come true!

Hey, Grace, would you like it if I sent you an e-mail soon and we can keep more in contact? That will be so cool to have a pen-pal living somewhere outside the country I live in who is a Christian too :).

Grace said...

Awww. I'm so excited, this is going to be quite fun! I cannot wait to get the email... I hope it's soon! :) And no, no, I don't mind at all- your not cluttering up my comments- I love them! :D

Okay, talk with you soon... Can't wait, Joy!

Joy said...

I sent the e-mail, Grace! Can't wait to hear from you soon :).

GIRLS! Thanks so much for the lovely comments, I do apologize for taking so long... The Holldays kept me busy, along with the company, and being sick. :P But I'm going to try my hardest to get more blog posts written before long. I've missed "it" and "y'all" :)

Lucia: YES, friends visiting is the best, especially with BEST friends. :)

Joy: Now it's my turn to say ill be getting yours done before long too. ;)
