So this weekend we went to GA to watch the Bulldogs almost get beat by the Kentucky Wildcats! We had great fun even if the game was stinky, oh well there is always next year.....Anyway, after visiting with the new addition, Kane ( brother and sister-in-laws new baby) we headed home. While cutting through all of the old roads we grew up going down we came to the infamous "thrill hill". This was not a hill for the weak at heart, no it was the roller coaster of Elbert County! Anyone who lived in the area knew of thrill hill. Let me explain, this was a very steep hill with a sharp incline at the end. If you got up enough speed, and were brave enough, you could fly down the hill and in the end you would have that left your stomach behind somewhere roller coaster feeling, or you would flip your car......knew alot of people who ended up like that........ Well, Allen and I got to the fork in the road where you go left down thrill hill, or right, to the main road. I joked at the time, do we dare have a little fun like old times, or go right and be responsible, old, parents ( yeah both kids were in the car sound asleep by this time). Yes, we chose the later and laughed about how times had changed. Looking back we had a great time growing up in the sticks of Georgia and I wouldn't change it for the world! I love the people we have grown into, I think our parents would be proud! That is unless they read this blog and find out about thrill hill and we get in trouble......oh man I just told on myself! They made me do it mom! I swear!
Just a quick prayer request: My best friend/cousin found out today that one of her good friends whom she has been pen-pals with for probably 14 years and has visited many times was killed along with her two children by a drunk driver recently. Please remember Mandi's husband and family in your prayers. It was an awful and sensless tragedy!
