****MORE PICTURES!!!! **** Bama Blast **THIS IS A MUST Read and SEE!**

Day 3-

Today, was a short day. Megan and Sean went back home yesterday, and then this morning Purple Rose and Family also went back home. So, it was just a few people when we got to the park. I was, yet again, but seriously unintentionally at all, late. LOL Our clock didn't go off again. Time to buy a new one, methinks. But, we weren't late by much, thankfully. :D

When I woke up this morning, it was thundering something fierce. I got up, went to take my shower, and as soon as I got in there, the thunder sounded like it was lightning directly behind my house. I could feel the BOOM, as the cackle of the lightning struck, over and over. So, needless to say, I didn't stay in there long, like usual. LOL!

I put my make up on, and decided to wear my usm t-shirt. Then we were off to the park. We got there to meet Green Eyed Froggy, The Poet Bradley, Ghost Seer, Cloud Watcher, Kiki, Ram, Ms Priss, Predictor, Wooden Nickel and mom. :) We sat and chatted for a bit, then Kate and her dad arrived.

We made sure to sign our booklets while talking, and the cell phones were being passed around. I think I talked to Odd Smell, Wood Elf, Judy, and Becky Dewdrop during that time. I think that was all. *hangs head* My memory, as I said, isn't the best. LOL

Last night I talked to so many people on cell phones, that ya'll are going to have to remind me. xD

We took some last minute photos, until my battery in my camera died at least, and then we said goodbye to Kiki and family. That was very sad. :( They were the first of the last of the group to leave. It was tearful but I know she had the best time ever. :) Hope you and Fam. have a safe good trip back.

After they left, soon after, Green Eyed Froggy and her son Bradley decided to leave too. We had decided to go out to eat, like tradition, but they really wanted to get out before traffic got too bad. FUNNY thing, GEF, I don't know if you saw us, but on our way to Shoney's; Nakoma and I were Right behind you both in traffic. I waved until my arms hurt, and Nakoma even honked the horn; but ya'll didn't see us I don't think. xD LOL  I was like, "Aww man, they don't hear or see us! xD" lol....... I love your car, btw. It rocks. Hope you and Bradley found your way home safe.

We get to Shoneys, with Kate and her dad following right behind us. We had tables put together, and enjoyed the food and conversation. Then, Cell phone talking happened again. I think Pnk was called- but I somehow missed talking to her today. I think I might have been in the bathroom washing my hands when that happened. LOL!... We also got to talk to Emi. :D

Finally, we had to leave. Nakoma had to go to work at 4 and we left the restaurant at 3:30- so we were cutting it close. xD LOL... I walked out with Kate, and just hugged her so tight. You know, she looks like me, especially in person- not sure how it translates into photos, but in person we have much the same look, attitude, and manuerisms that we could definitely pass as sisters. I held my tears until after she left, but it was emotional.

These get togethers aren't just meeting of friends. It's like a family reunion, just family you've not gotten to meet yet. I definitely look at each and every person that I've met at these USM gtg's as family. I'd say as close to me as my immediate family, at that. Kate and Megan, both, I adore and think of like sisters. I have such strong connections with them both that I am just so thankful for them. Everyone else is/was like my aunts/uncles; and the boys were like lil brothers to me. They are all so very extraordinarily awesome. I love ya'll, I really do!

Thank you, to each and every one of you that took your time, money and maybe nerves too; to drive down here to attend the Alabama Blast. It's the people that make these events- so much fun- and we all rocked it out this year as we have in years' past. It was an awesome weekend and I couldn't think of a better way to spend my time-ever; than meeting and spending time with all of you. :D Hope each and every one of you have a safe drive, and enjoyed yourselves as much as I enjoyed all of you. :D

They told me, and dared me, to post it, so I did. :p So, maybe love is blossoming? hehe
