Family Filled Weekend

Well, we had another really fun weekend full of traveling and family.  Matt's cousin Mike's wedding was on Saturday in IL, so this past Friday we, along with some family, trekked out to St. Joe to stay the night at Neal and Kims.  

I am always amazed at Kim's hospitality when we go to visit them.  Her and Neal have a full house with 5 kids but never hesitate to keep us and all the other family/friends.  Makes for a fun, exciting weekend when we can all stay together! =)  Huge thanks Kim!!!

Saturday was a special day because not only did we get to witness a very Christ-focused wedding, but I got to see my sister Ashley, her hubby Mark, and their little 2 month old Vienna!  I of course jumped in and offered to watch Vienna during the wedding.......yay, Ash let me!  Even though I missed parts of the wedding I was very encouraged in the parts that I got to hear.  It was evident that Mike and Callie desire a Christ-centered marriage through the way they lifted Him up in the message.  They wrote their own vows, and they were some of the most beautiful vows I have ever heard.  I wish I could remember everything they said to each other.  

After the wedding we went back to St. Joe and had another fun afternoon/evening with Matt's family.  Sunday we were able to go to church at TCBC where Neal and Kim go.  It is always neat to be able to worship with family and see the church family God has brought Neal and Kim into.

Sometimes I think we travel too much, but this time I must say that all the hours spent in the car traveling were well worth the blessings of the weekend!

On a side note:  Kim is crazy about coffee.  I am pretty crazy about coffee too.  She had a little surprise for me when I got to her house..........STORE BOUGHT ICED COFFEE!!!  Ever since coming home from IL I have been craving it!  I will have to check and see if my little grocery store here in town carries it.

      

We didn't really take any pictures of the weekend, but we did get this one.  It's an important one too.  We got to see Brock play t-ball, and might I say he was pretty good at it.  Here he is sporting his medal with his proud uncle.

While we were in IL Tami had her baby.  Sunday evening when we got home we had to stop by to meet the newest addition to the family......Ava Tamara.  Ava, you are a sweetie!
