Back Home to Louisiana

This past Friday, I had the opportunity to take my mom back home to Louisiana. We left out early Friday morning to beet all the traffic and to not feel like we'd been on the road all day. We got there around 9:00 (Central time) and it was already starting to get hot. I didn't do too much on Friday but see a lot of family. I stayed with my aunt on my dad's side of the family that night and the next.

Saturday was really special because it was my late grandmothers birthday. So we all went up to the cemetery and did a kinda of memorial thing there. It had started raining while we were driving up there. Luckily it slowed up so that we could pay our respects. My mom read a nice poem that she wrote and all the sisters let go their balloons at the end. It was really enjoyable for me because me and my grandmother were close.

Sunday was too funny. I went to my first ghetto wedding. I have never been to a wedding like this in my life. It was one of my cousin that was getting married and the whole thing was like a big joke. There were people smoking and drinking during the wedding. There were people walking around for the entire time the service was being held. It was outside and there wasn't enough chairs to even seat everybody. The order of the service was all wrong and they didn't look at each other during the reciting of the vows. It was quite the production.
