Leaving the South is sad :(




Well, I've relaxed and caught up with my family and friends (although unfortunately, not everyone). This trip has been great, but my underlying thoughts (which I must try to stop having), is that we just don't have enough time. I was so glad Tyler and Joe were able to spend some quality time with my sisters, Joy and Tina; and of course with their grandparents, whom they call Nanay and Lolo Tatay. Tay made his usual pancakes for the boys almost every morning, Tita Joy took them to EdVenture, and Tita Tin "tricked" them into wanting snakes for pets! And we visited with my friends from high school.

And of course, I've gained my normal 5-10 pounds from just crossing into the S. Carolina border. Not just because it was Thanksgiving, but also I had to eat all my favorite Southern and Filipino food at a frenzied pace: blue crabs, Chik-Fil-A, a Lil' Joe's barbecue sandwich basket at Piggie Park, etc., etc.....

It's always difficult to leave home.
