Our Trip

At last, I am fulfilling my promise to post pictures of our trip. The first weekend of February found Nathan, Katherine, Brandon and myself on the road to Bristol TN. We were on our way to attend Micah and Emma Valine's wedding. Nathan and Josh G.were groomsmen and because we love Micah and thought an entire weekend of fellowship would be refreshing, the rest of us decided to tag along. On the way up, we stopped in Nashville to eat dinner with our Aunt and Uncle, Mark and Linda Blanco.

We all met the bride for the first time the day before the wedding and she luckily "passed our approval". It is quite interesting to have your friend marry someone you don't know! Emma is great and we felt privileged to be a part of such a glorious event. Our prayers are now with them as they embark on a new and exciting path together!

The few days we had together were filled with touring, taking lots of pictures, playing numerous games of Nerts in the hotel breakfast room, and asking for more and more keys from the front desk. We ate at some neat places and spent many hours in the car either sleeping, watching movies, or talking on some deep and not so deep issues (some of us believe we solved the world's problems). Did we sleep? You answer that one...Would you have? A special thanks to our drivers, Nathan, Josh G. Noelle and Josh W. And to Myles for being a trooper throughout so many hours in a car seat.

P.S. The list of fellow travelers and wonderful friends include:
Josh, Noelle and Myles Goforth, Joel and Graham Fisher and Josh W.
Thanks guys for the wonderful time... We will always remember it with fondness :)
