A Southern Wedding

I just got back from a weekend in Huntsville for my God-brother's wedding. The trip was short, but worth it and the wedding was hectic, but beautiful. Alabama's weather right now is absolutely beautiful. It was great being able to walk outside and not burn up from the heat and humidity, but not freeze in the snow. Wedding and weather aside, the highlight of my trip would have to be hanging out with the Phillipson kids. I've mentioned them before (Sam aka Superhero Sam is the little boy who had the accident a couple years ago that left him with prosthetic legs), but this was the first time I got to meet the whole crew. Paul, Mary, Sam, and Julia are an energetic bunch. They love one-on-one time, running outside, playing with the dogs, and goofing off. Sam keeps up with the pack like a little champion. He runs, jumps, fights, and laughs with the best of them and if you didn't know his story, you wouldn't be able to tell he had prosthetics. He really is an inspiration. Sam and Paul attached themselves to Landon while Mary and Julia stayed with me practically the whole weekend. Getting them to let go this morning was quite the ordeal. Sam ended up in tears and Julia kept asking if she could come back to Florida with me. I guess I shouldn't have mentioned I lived near Disney World... This weekend away was just what I needed after my stressful week last week. I wish I didn't have to go back to class tomorrow though. Silly unpatriotic colleges!
