End of Summer and Start of Fall

We are so excited about fall approaching. In the past, we have always been in a place that fall is maybe 2-3 weeks during the year. But now that we live in a place that actually has all 4 seasons and we can officially experience a true fall.

Summer was fun...we had a few friends come and visit us. Jake, Lezlie and Isabel were one of the friends that came to Hickory to see us. We all knew each other in Savannah and have all moved from there now. Jake, Lezlie and Isabel live in Kentucky now. We miss them dearly. We had a great time when they came to visit us. We can't wait to see them again soon.


Nick turned 30 this year...ahh!!! It was a great birthday. We had a few friends in Hickory come celebrate on his actual birthday. But I threw him a surprise party two weeks after his birthday. We had such a great time. He was completely thrown off guard. Everyone that helped me with this party, did a great job!!!

I got to see one of my best friends...Kristine. She was home this summer for a few weeks, and we met in the ATL airport. It was a crazy day/trip, but one that was well worth the time and travel. She is currently over seas doing mission work and I admire her for her courage and upbeat spirit to spread the Gospel over seas. Can't wait to see her again soon.

Now that fall is coming, we are excited about watching the leaves change and the weather cool off. We are going to be heading to the mountains near by our home and the GA mountains. We have already been to Ellijay, GA once this year with family. We had such a great time. We went to near by apple houses, a pumpkin farm, and tried to climb the Amicalola Falls. Well, Kim, Natalie, Corrie, Brandon and even Peyton made it to the top, but the rest of us decided to just drive to the top. Nick and I can't wait to go back in October with some friends from Hickory!
