MY FAMILY CAME!!!!!!!!!!!

My mom, grandma, and nephew (Chase) came to visit me July 4-8th!!!!! I was so surprised that my mom came - much less my grandma!! It was such a blessing to have them here with me for an entire week!! I have not seen my family in over 6 months. I have gone from seeing my mom EVERYDAY to every 6 months. That's still weird for me sometimes, but I'm beginning to get used to it. It was so great to have my family see where I live and to see where I drive everyday and the sites I get to see... Although time was too short, we had a wonderful week filled with lots of activities!

Saturday: Valley Falls

Sunday: Church at Crossroads followed by a picnic at Chestnut Mountain Ranch (Granny really enjoyed feeding the fish!)... then FIREWORKS on the Mon (some of the prettiest I've ever seen)

Monday: A great friend took us out in her boat on Cheat Lake! It's been years since my grandma got on a boat - and my nephew had NEVER been on one! When we were finished, I took them too Cooper's Rock. This was one of our favorite days!

Tuesday: lazy day/dinner at Olive Garden & Toy Story 3 in 3D. My granny has never seen a 3D movie! She loved it

Wednesday: Photo shoot with Tay / tour of Morgantown / Shopping!

Thursday: to the airport!

Here are some shots from our week together:
