Leaving...On A Jet Plane


We're heading to Colorado tomorrow to celebrate my Mom's birthday. It's been a whirlwind of a week with getting ready for this trip and having company as well. I'm looking forward to the time away and spending time with family. Also, Colorado is gorgeous this time of year.

Brandon and his friend Melissa will be leaving early in the morning. Melissa is a doll, so sweet and personable. Actually, come to find out, Brandon has been sorta kinda dating 2 girls named Melissa. Melissa #1 was originally the one coming home with him but cancelled out for whatever reason. He then invited Melissa #2. She is from New York originally but is now living in CA, going to school full-time and working full-time. They work together in the restaurant. What a nice girl and with a great head on her shoulders too. You can tell she likes Brandon but truth be told, he likes Melissa #1 better. Either way, you can tell this Melissa is a kind, loyal friend to Brandon and vice versa. Just 2 really nice kids!


We had a nice dinner out tonight with my sister Kim and her husband then we all had to head home to pack. I know we'll be spending the next 5 days with Kim but she didn't want Brandon to leave without seeing him and giving him a great big hug.



Family is such a blessing and the older I get, the more I appreciate mine! Sure, we all have our little quirks about us, but when push comes to shove, no one is there for you like family!

Hey Miz Linda,
Thanks for visiting my blog, I don't get around commenting as much as I'd like since starting my new job. I couldn't agree with you more about family, we may be small but we are devoted completely to each other. Your Brandon sure is a handsome young man, I know you're proud of him *smiles* Hope you have a wonderful time in Colorado, it's been years since I've been there but I have memories of it's beauty this time of year. You never know you could find yourself snowed in *giggles* as weather can change fast in Colorado *smiles* Have fun!
