Late Nights...

Since coming off night shift three years ago I don't see much of the 2 am and 3 am hours any more. Last night I was reminded what little sleep can do to someone.
My brother, his wife and daughter were scheduled to fly in to P'cola at 1120 pm. (key words "were")

My sister volunteered to make this late night journey with me to pick them up from the airport. And I must say I am so glad she did.

We started the evening at Cock of the Walk -- one of my favorite restaurants and it was SO yummy!
If you have never been-please go. It is well worth watching them flip cornbread, drinking and eating out of tin plates/mugs and the fried pickles are my fav!

We then went to the movies like we had planned while waiting for the flight to arrive....

Yes-that is TWO movie tickets you see there!
I think that--no wait, I KNOW that is a first for me to see two movies in one night!
We had to find something to occupy us while we waited.

It was worth the long night to finally get to see and spoil this sweet little one! (check back for more pics :)

I better be getting used to my late nights, night shift is quickly approaching me again...that I will save for another blog though!

Looking forward...

If you guys are like me I love having something to look forward to. Lately I have not had much going on besides work (more on that later)...

But the next couple of weeks I have a few things that I am looking forward to...

First~

Yeap thats right..I get to go to the circus tomorrow! Very excited! I haven't been since I was probably five and can still remember eating a blue snow cone and getting it everywhere. Very excited to get to go with my nephew and two nieces. So much fun to see things through their eyes!

Next week I get to see these guys in Birmingham!

Of course we will miss Holly and Audrey! Hopefully we will all be together soon!



And then the next week I get to meet my sweet new niece...

Can not wait to get to hold her and spoil her rotten!!! I also get to see and spend some time with Deepti and Drew. They will be in south Alabama for a full month. It will be great to have them here.

What are you looking forward to????
