It was a busy, busy but amazing time and I am so happy I got to see so many loved ones. The first night involved a columbarium service for my grandparents at church, followed by dinner and a recepetion with family and students of my grandpa&#8217;s. Saturday was fun in the sun &amp; another party for my grandparents past students &amp; a night out, Sunday was a FANTASTIC bridal shower brunch that my aunt hosted, followed by a hilarious afternoon\/evening in downtown Pensacola. I flew back Monday, got diagnosed with sore throat\/pharyngitis Wednesday and have been sick ever since! I&#8217;m recovering now, and the weekend was well worth the aftermath. Big thanks to everyone back home who carved out a little time to hang out with me on my visit! You are all food to my soul. Here&#8217;s my trip, in Instagram!
