TANDREXLY: vacation

i've mainly been putting off this post simply because i can't look at these pictures w/o crying. i have been more homesick lately than i have ever been in my life. i not only miss my family but i miss my home... i miss where i grew up and the things i used to do, the things i love to do. after the beach we had one full day to fit everything in that we wanted to do. on saturday night we (mustin, and us) visited grandma crouse- that was so nice- i miss her a lot. she lives in a town that consists of just about everyone i went to school with and she always keeps me up to date as we sit on her front porch. sunday we started the day off the day with church. i love seeing how big the kids in the ward are getting, and giving brother forney a big kiss. we then ate a good home cooked meal at grandmas- nothing like it. the boys got out their guns and shot some water jugs. they even let me smoke a few. i'm not as good as i once was- but i still got it. we ate some grapes... right off the vine just like we used to. tanner and michelle don't agree with how we eat them... "why don't you put the whole thing in your mouth"... "hmm, i don't know- we just don't." rode 4 wheelers- maddex loves riding 4 wheelers- he never wanted to get off. and then lastly- my favorite...we all went fishing. i wasn't getting on that plane until i went fishing. tanner and i caught the most fish- i don't know if anyone else was counting- but we had like 15-20. :)ha. i could have sat there all night long. there is something so peaceful to me about it. i mentioned to tanner that is all i want to do for my birthday- i want to go home, get some worms... sit on the dock with some IBC's and fish... all day long. so that is what i'm doing. we are flying home next thursday... to do some more of this:
