Guess you had to be there

Well after speaking to my father on Christmas I decided to head up his way soon. But already had plans with my friend Kristin to go see Les Miserables, recommend it!! But, just so you know before you go, It's two hours and forty five minutes long, a detail my friend left out. Glad she did, because probably wouldn't of gone and watched it (with my short attention span and all)

P.S smuggle in  some Starbucks if you have a attention span of a goldfish, like me ;)

I then planned on going to Georgia to see my father on the 27th since 26th was here and gone, so Kristin planned to go with me, but shortly found out she couldn't due to her brother being in town. So I set out to find someone to go with me, I failed miserably with it being Christmas season and all! But that's okay, I know my friends would of, if they could of! I didn't want to let my father down so I decided to go anyways, but unable to go alone, my mom joined me for the ride.

We meet Chance and Chet (His brother) at Walmart and followed them to their local Applebee's, Chance seemed a little nervous, not sure if it was the situation or the fact that my mom was there, probably a little of both! 

We sat down and ate lunch and chatted, Chet and my mom hit it off. (He's a pretty cool guy) Chance sat and listened, put a little of his two sense in but mostly looked nervously else where every now in then.

 (Who could blame him) He was sitting with his basically grown daughter whom he didn't know, and his ex wife whom he hasn't seen in 18 years. 

Applebee's food wasn't that great but the company was! After we finished eating Chance said he would like me to meet my Aunt Pam, that her house was just up the road and we could follow them there. So we began to exit Applebees my mom excused her self to the bathroom and the guys and I walked out to the truck. We got out there and Chance chuckled how he didn't know how that was going to go with my mom, but he was sure glad she came, Chet nodded in agreement I guess. 

We then went to Pam's, had a very interesting time! Lot's of laughter! On the way out, as I got into the car Chance handed me a envelope, in which contained a card. I got in the card and stared that the little piece of paper in my hand this was the first thing my father ever gave to me! I carefully opened it  which is something I never do! I'm usually too excited and rip it open! I successfully opened the card with out tearing the envelope, and as I read it my eyes began filling up with tears my heart tugged and I carefully ran my fingers over the print. 

 After visiting with Pam, we meet Jessica (My sister) at Chet's house. We sat by the fire and laughed and chatted like life time friend's! 

All and all it was a great visit and I am soooo glad I went!! 

Happy New Year!!!!
