I have always been close to my Grandma, but as time goes on and I get older, that bond grows stronger and stronger. I enjoy spending time with my Grandma and she is one of the most amazing people that I know. Last year, we spent our birthdays together in Canada, but this year we weren't so lucky. Grandma has only been to my house once and when she was here, we were flying out for our trip and she didn't have time to see our community and spend quality time with my children. I decided to buy her a ticket to Charlotte this year for her birthday and have her spend some time in our home. Grandma Phipps arrived in Charlotte this evening and is spending the long weekend with us. She said that she would rather ride the bus than fly, so Greyhound it was! We actually had to go to Trevor's school for Open House tonight, so Mom, James, and Lilly were here welcoming committee and taxi home this evening. I am so glad that she took me up on my offer to visit. She is use to living alone in a quiet house, going to bed early, waking up early, and just doing things at her leisure. Staying in our home with 6 other people and 2 dogs is going to be way out of her norm. I just hope that after spending 5 days with us, she doesn't regret it! :)
