Pelham for Father's Day

So, I am writing from Pelham. Currently, dad is watching "Outlaw Josie Wales" and the UGA vs. Miami baseball game. The game is a little nerve-racking and the movie and old western. This is the life, blogging and watching an old western.

My grandparents and aunt came over for dinner tonight to celebrate Father's Day. Nothing too special, just hamburgers and hot dogs with TONS of family fun. It is always refreshing to spend time with them. I don't get to see them as often as I'd like, but when I do, it is always memorable. You are creating memories even when you don't realize it. Tonight we'd all finished dinner and were sitting around the table. My papa and aunt started talking about when they were children. The stories they told. I wish I'd recorded them. Times like today make you cherish your family even more. My family is not that big, just 3 grandchildren on each side. So when we get together, the time is intimate and special.

Tomorrow is Father's day and I did remember to get a present for Dad. For me it is a time to really appreciate the time I do have with dad. He is a great dad. As all father's he has his moments, but he is a great guy. I thank the Lord everyday for him. He has the ability to seemingly make things better. I don't know how, he just does. So, if anybody reads this, make sure to tell your dad HAPPY FATHER'S day and that you love them.

I'll head back to Athens tomorrow. It will be week two of my renal nutrition rotation and that much closer to needing to finish the thesis. (That is the topic of another blog!). It also means my FIRST job interview. Please pray....I just want to do His will. If this job is mean to be, it will work out and everything will fall into place. Just in need of His peace and grace.
