Todd's Trip to Georgia






In November, Todd drove back to Georgia with his dad to keep him company and help with the driving. They drove about 10 hours a day and made it back in three days. A few of the things they found on the way were "Hendrix College" in Arkansas and Elvis's birthplace in Mississippi. Todd sent me a ton of picture mails while he was gone. I thought that was cool, I was able to share in what he was seeing and doing every day. He spent the first few days at his dad's house and was able to visit his uncle and grandma. Then he went north a little bit to spend time with Eric and his kids, Sarah and Jacob. He spent several days with his mom, which he enjoyed very much. He was also able to visit his grandpa and a few aunts, uncles and cousins. One of the highlights of his trip was ordaining his nephew, Jacob, to the Aaronic Priesthood. Todd brought us all souvenirs, the kids got Atlanta braves t-shirts. I got the one thing I would never have suspected or guessed...a "Piggly Wiggly" t-shirt. Yes, there is a store in the south called the Piggly Wiggly, I have mocked that store name for 20 years. I cannot take any grocery store seriously named Piggly Wiggly...so it was a pretty funny gift. I wore it one time so he wouldn't feel bad. When the kids came home from school and found out I had worn it out in public that day, they were horrified.
