Food and Family

Last night I had the pleasure of eating supper at Mazzios with LeLe and my sister and her family. I LOVE being with my sister. (and it goes without saying LeLe too) Sister's family is hilarious and we always have a marvelous time together. Her son is a genius both academically and comically. Her daughter is blessed with brains, beauty and voice. My niece's boyfriend is relatively new to the family but never meets a stranger so he was very entertaining. It was funny watching our waitress bring him drinks without being asked, but forgetting everything my niece asked for.

The entire time we were there, we were laughing. And of course those around us looked at us from time to time as if they were wondering whether we were sane or not. Evenings like these are a balm to our poor stressed minds and bodies. We all agreed we should do that more often. I don't think I take time to enjoy my family enough. But, we are spread out in different towns and it does make it a little harder than just running across town for a visit.

You stole my post! This is the reason I am glad we're moving back to town. I had a blast last night. I think this is why I haven't been happy in the past year or two...I haven't had enough laughter in my life. Sure, having a wonderful husband is marvelous, but I find happiness in family and friends as well. Laughter is very good for the soul. Made me want to move down there that much faster!

Sorry 'bout that sweetie. I'll be glad when you get back down here too!

It's okay. I don't have the energy to write today anyway...I didn't go to bed until 12:30. I just wasn't tired.

Waaay---I love Mazzio's but Eric isn't that much of a fan!!!! Probably b/c we don't have a good one around us?!?!?!?!

Didn't know Mae had a b/friend?

B Lines said...

Yes, he is a cutie. And LeLe's brother has a girlfriend too. Just catching you up on family dynamics Chelle... ;)

LeLe said...

Mae's b/f was so funny! Mom, have you met J's g/f yet? He doesn't ever talk to me anymore...

Haven't met her personally, but I've talked to her through Myspace some. Her picture is on his page. Her name is Catherine.

Time with family and friends is always good for the soul. I think we all need that and Jesus did that as well. We should follow His lead on that and eat more pizza at Mazzio's.

Maybe they (disciples and Jesus) met at Catfish City or something. Don't quite know what they had but they did have dinner parties (that part is biblical....lol).

Matt & I ate at Subway last night before we went back to the house to try to unpack and clean up our house some more.
