I am in a hotel in Mississippi now.  We got here saturday night and it was a different kind of hot.  at game time at 7:05 it was 89…and i thought i was gonna drown in the humidity.  Today was totally different though…i think we had a high of 78 and sunny with almost no humidity…how weird.  

This is the first time i’ve ever been to Mississippi…and it made me think about my grandpa.  When i was 6 or 7 my pawpaw taught me the little saying about the spelling of Mississippi…you know…M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-hump back-hump back-I…cheesy i know…but it made me smile.  

This is the furthest west i’ve been from home…and i think it’s made me miss home a little more than i do when i’m in montgomery.  I guess mothers day is an added factor as well.  

You ever here the saying, “Far from sight, Far from mind”?  I think that depends on who you’re talking to…I think about my family and friends all the time…and when i say friends…i mean the ones that i have invested in and have invested in me.  There are some friends that i haven’t been able to keep in touch with much…but i think about them all the time…i think about them b/c at different points in the past couple years they have been major contributors to my personal growth. Just because i haven’t been able to speak with them doesn’t mean i value them any less…it just means we haven’t had time. I am very blessed to have the kind of friends i do and i’m thankful for every one of you….

can’t wait to see ya soon!
