We are in Atlanta visiting Adam’s parents and sister. Addison has been here for the past 2 weeks and we came to take her home and attend a family reunion.
This is how it will go down.
Tomorrow we will wake up and wait too long to take showers in a timely manner and too long to decide what to eat for breakfast.
Then we will all decide at the same time that it’s our turn to shower. Then we will rush around getting food ready and fixing our hair until it’s time to get in the car and drive for an hour and a half to a cute little country church in a town in rural Georgia.
Then we will set all of the wonderful mayonnaise laden southern food out on a great big table in the social hall. We’ll fix our plates, eat fried chicken, drink sweet tea and laugh and laugh some more. Then we will sit around and talk about who we are related to and how uncomfortably full we are. This will be because we ate two plates of food and 3 different desserts because we just couldn’t decide between Grandma’s chocolate cake, Aunt Regina’s cobbler or the unidentified but undeniably delicious pecan( PEE-CAN) pie.
Then the women will clean up while the men sit around and talk about SEC football or the usual getting old physical ailments or whatever. Side note: I don’t actually know what the men talk about because I am usually chasing around a kid or rinsing off spoons.
It will be a hundred and sixteen degrees outside and the kids will start to smell like …well…stinky kids. Then we’ll pack our cars and go back to Adam’s parents house weighing approximately 10 pounds heavier.
When we get back we will pack the car and drive 4 1/2 hours home with a gut full of family reunion food. We are also bringing a kitten home with us.( more on that later) Feel sorry for me please.
‘nother side note: Have I mentioned that I have the BEST in-laws EVER!!!? I feel like I have been a member of this family my entire life. Thank goodness I haven’t though because that would be incest. Hopefully I won’t someday find out that Adam and I are cousins. Ok that’s officially crossing the line!
You’re welcome.
