I know everyone thinks they have to coolest family, but I really do. We laugh like crazy. I’d love so much to be closer to them, but who can complain when all three of their sisters live only a 2 hour flight away in a totally awesome city which also has many of their good friends and home town of Oak Ridge, Tennessee just a short drive away? Not me!

This is my niece Kate and my good friend Joanna! Joanna lives in Athens. It’s the most adorable little college town ever where the University of Georgia is. She graduated from there and loved it so much that she bought a place and stayed. I can hardly stand Kate’s cuteness. Oh yeah, Joanna and I hung out all the time when I lived in Atlanta because she is also good friends with my other good friend, Kim. Or, Kim-buh-ly.

Meg and Kate. Meg is the sillyest thing in the world.

We stayed at Jody’s condo. Her condo is gorgeous. It makes me want to move to Atlanta or somewhere amazing where you can buy gorgeous property for less than 658423905876239581230956. Jody, Erin and I stayed up every night really late giggling. It was totes fun.

On the subject of fabulous houses, Kelly and Mike recently renovated and added to their home. It turned out completely amazing. It’s like a dream home. The girls rooms are like the inside of dollhouses and they let us all free hand paint the play room.

As you can see, we had talent shows, presents, food, family, laughing and waffle house hash browns scattered, covered and smothered. Yum. I miss the south. Oh yeah, we also ate fried green tomatoes, Cajun fried okra, and cornbread at Agnes and Muriel’s. Yum.

I’m sorry I’ve been blogging for like an hour straight.
