Weekend in Birmingham

I was able to spend the weekend in Birmingham with one of my best friends, Mandy, and her family. We had such a great time! We didn’t really do much, just hung out. Had some late-night girl talk. Coy & Mandy have the sweetest little six-month-old boy, Cale. He is precious. And he loves me lots. Just look at that smile. :) He picked this weekend to start doing several things – crawling (kind of – it’s more of a leap frog motion), pulling up, sitting in a high chair, giving high fives. It was so much fun! I think he was holding off until I could see him. :) The only thing that could have made the weekend better is if Matt, Denalyn & Sam could have been there too.

I am so amazed at how close so many things are. Birmingham was a 2 ½ hour drive. That’s it! And it’s a different state. From Arlington, you can go 2 ½ hours in any direction and pretty much still be in Texas. So many places are like that – Atlanta is 4 hours, Lexington is 3 hours, Gatlinburg is 2 hours, Memphis is 4 hours. Makes me want to travel all the time!
