I did in fact make it home in one piece from Buffalo. It was fun seeing family although it was emotional saying "goodbye" to Mama. This was the church that held the memorial service. A lot of people turned up to honor her.
After the memorial service and graveside ceremony, we headed to the community house to have a big party. Very typical of our family.
It was also nice to see my sisters. I haven't seen Melissa since Christmas since she lives in Los Angeles. Now that I live four hours from home, I don't see Hannah that often either.
Hanging out with my cousins is always a blast. It's getting harder and harder to get everyone together nowadays. Here are 14 out of 16 cousins posing for a rare picture.
A lovely picture of Bananz. She's moving to college tomorrow (Appalachian State). I can't believe it. I remember her first day of kindergarten. That was the only year we were both in the same school (I was in 5th grade). She was so cute in her little jean outfit and her Pocahontas bookbag. But I digress...
I had to eventually come home, but with good reason...Will and I were celebrating a special occasion - 1 year anniversary. He brought me this when I got home from work one afternoon.
They were so pretty and lasted for about a week. Then they died and I had to throw them away. It was sad.

Then to top it all off, we had an amazing chocolate creme brulee. I thought I was in heaven. Here's us before going out.
