A Visit From Carol!

So one of my very best friends from college is in the big town of Lexington, Virginia this weekend for a wedding, and boy is she thrilled! I like to think that our all too brief, yet thoroughly enjoyable get-together will be the highlight of her weekend ;)

And because she made mention to the fact that I am such an awful blogger, because it is rare that I actually update the blog, I promised her I would go home and put up a new post with a picture from tonight. Here she and I are at Bistro in Lexington. We had such a fun visit. I miss you, Caroline, and can't wait to come see you in Charleston!!

Summertime Blues

It's been a while, and I have lots to catch up on!

For starters, this weekend we moved Jonathan back down to Birmingham for the summer...it was sad. I'm sad. But, I'll get over it (hopefully), and we'll get through it. It's just three months, and he has the opportunity to clerk for two wonderful firms again this summer. It's hard to really complain about that, although I have given it my best shot.

We did get to spend a wonderful weekend in Birmingham with family and friends, which is always a plus! Josh and Bonnie threw an excellent party to celebrate Jonathan's homecoming and their new roommate for the summer. He he :) Yes, Jonathan is bunking with the Birmingham Littles for the summer, and I have to say I'm a little jealous. They have a pretty sweet set up there in Homewood, and the cooking isn't too shabby either ;) I hope he wants to come home when the time comes!

We went to services this morning at Vestavia, and I was reminded of how much I miss everyone. I got a little teary-eyed during Jason's lesson and just wanted to share the passage of scripture that we discussed. I know it's there and have read it time and again, but for some reason it struck me a little differently this morning.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make straight your paths."

Proverbs 3: 5-7
