When you hug me...

Today I had my little going away thing with my family. I was small but very nice, just my mom, grandma, sister and her family (my dad couldn't make it due to work but I'll see him next weekend). We met up at Tom's Farm around 10:30 this morning and walked around to check out the vendor booths. Around noon we ordered lunch from the burger places and then just enjoyed the rest of the afternoon with one another. I was very hot and hummid, but I didn't mind so much since it would be my last time to see my family for a bit.

Vince and I spent a lot of time with my nieces, Hailey who is 6 and Hannah who is 5. We took them on the merry-go-round, got their pictures taken in a photo booth, watched a magic show and just enjoyed every moment. Vince is so good with them, I love seeing him give them shoulder rides and helping them up on the merry-go-round horses, it's just so cute. My sister gave me a nice little card that made me tear up... she always has a way with words.

We eventually all gathered around our table area and enjoyed each others compamy some more. Laughing, making jokes, telling stories, just like any other gathering. Getting close to 3:00 and knowing the girls and Caden were getting tired we would all be taking off soon, but I didn't want it to be over.
Around 3:30 everyone had desided it was a good time to go, so now it's time to say bye... I was holding together, gave my little nephew Caden kisses, then leaned over to give Hannah a kiss and hug goodbye, she hugged me tight and looked up at me and said, "Aunt B I want you to pick me up when you hug me." So I picked her up and held her so tight, she hugged back just as tight.. And that was about the moment I broke and began to cry. I tolded her I loved her and can't wait for her to come visit, she gave me the biggest kiss and said she loved me. I set her down and did the same with Hailey, those girls are pure love. Once done with Hailey's kisses and hugs, I said bye to my brother-in-law Rick and then moved on to my sister. I cried with her, she told me this was going to bring great things for me and I know it will but it was just an emotional moment for me.

I'm so thrilled to be creating this new chapter in my life but I know these next few weeks are going to be very emotional for me. So bear with me everyone, lol. Although I wouldn't change these new upcoming adventures for anything, I have a feeling you will see me back in a couple years, I'm a family gal what can I say. Love ya'll!!
