Weekend in Valdosta

On Saturday I was able to ride down with Summer to Valdosta. It was sooooo good to see the little grans, Sara, Ryan and the Jacksons. We had fun in the pool with the children, ate a delicious meal and walked around Dasher for a photo scavenger hunt. Part of the scavenger hunt included a trip to the cemetery where the boys had to find a tombstone with a name that began with the first letter of their names. They enjoyed looking around and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset. Walking through Dasher you always get to see people out and about, this evening was no different. It was great to visit with old friends as we made our walk around the block. Sunday we had a great day as well worshipping at Central and visiting with more friends. Several of us met at Rodeo's Mexican Restaurant for lunch(don't recommend this place but the fellowship was such a pleasure, seeing our kids all grown up) Sara, Summer and I then attended a baby shower for Kristin. She is so precious!!! It was like a family reunion with lots of laughter and catching up on all the latest news from "the Dasher net". We headed back home around 4:30. We stopped and ate @ Zaxbys and enjoyed a little cheesecake, too. It was delicious!!!(sorry Josh and Luke but think of all the calories we saved you from eating) It was so good to see everyone. We miss Sara, Ryan and the children so much but know they are having soooo much fun there getting reconnected with so many friends. We are truly thankful for the blessings of all these wonderful people. Today I was in training all day and this afternoon I came in an took a long nap.

I saw you come "rushing" into church Sunday AM but didn't get to speak to you! :( Glad you got to come down and see those cute kids! We are enjoying having them around-there always room for the Normans back in Dasher!
