Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

M&J Weekend

I had the little one all to myself this weekend!!  Eric decided to fly back to Texas and see his childhood home one last time, and Ashlyn went to Columbia to visit her friends and her brother.  So, what did us girls do?  Well....


We decided to go for a walk on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, then stopped to do a few obstacles along the way.


We kept walking and walking, got a little direction turned with some of the construction,  walked along busy streets to get back on track, saw a dead copper head (thankfully it was dead), and kept walking until we found our car again.


We decided to reward ourselves with ice cream for not dying along the walk.


She taught me how to Snap Chat...apparently there are filters and stories.


Then we came home, showered, and onto church.  The next morning we had breakfast at Kolache Factory (where else?)...


Caught a movie matinee then did some grocery shopping.  Good thing we stopped for groceries because Luke surprised us with a visit.  He was on his way home from cliff diving in NC with 7 of his friends, and they were all hungry.  The Little One helped me whip up a huge pot of spaghetti complete with salad, bread, and dessert.  

So great to see my son! :)  I didn't want to ruin the moment with a picture, but it sure was tempting.  It was hard to watch him leave all over again.  They only stayed an hour.

Then a snuggle with the Little One before bedtime.  These special days go by so quickly.  I'll take each moment I have, and each weekend like this is precious.
