An All Around Good Ol' Day

Today was a pretty good day. Instead of school I had other things to do. I went to the birthday party of my friends little girl. It was fun to watch her open all of her presents. My friend was over there amoungst all the little children helping her little girl open her presents. She was so cute. Which I will most likely do the same thing with my kids.
After that I went to a bridal shower of another one of my friends. I felt right at home becuase her famiy is just like mine in the aspect that they talk like they came from the south and it was a good ol' get together for the women of her family and friends. The thing that cracked me up was that they turned the Alabama football game on during the shower. There was people watching the game (including me, I am a big fan of Alabama football) in between seeing what presents she got. This was all happening at a shower with all women and no guys there. There is nothing wrong with that, but I thought it was great. Her dad wasn't there but I have met him and he reminds me so much of my dad an uncle. He is this good ol' guy from the south, just like my dad an uncle. The family that I met today of her aunts and cousins reminded me so much of Magnolia and how showers down there pan out. It was cool. I felt right at home and a little homesick.
