Travel

Though our travels have not taken us across the world, we have been here there and everywhere this past month. May 9-16 I spent a refreshing week with the Zes family. My time there was encouraging, relaxing and just plain FUN. I feel blessed to have three extra sisters who are so sweet and some of the best friends one could ask for :) Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Zes for letting me come and making me feel so much at home!
I went to my first ever Cardinals baseball game (they won!) and we went "camping" for a weekend with Zes' church family. The camping trip was all but rugged, we were put up in pleasant little cabin that was more like a hotel room. We enjoyed a couple camp fires and some trail walks. One of my favorite memories from the week was sitting on the couch every night chatting with a bowl of ice cream...The ice cream being the chief item of pleasure :) No really, I couldn't ask for more caring and loving friends who answered all my questions, listened to all my troubles and advised me from their hearts...For your love I will be eternally grateful ladies!

I was home for one day before heading out with Katherine for a three week adventure in Alabama. There was some major campaign work going on with three godly men running for seats on the Alabama Supreme Court and another running for Chief Justice while yet another was running for Governor of the State. Five State wide races at once! Wow, these men were dedicated to their Lord and wanted to be used in the area of government in Alabama. I'm proud of them although I only met one, and pray that though their races weren't successful in man's eyes, that they will continue the fight for the future. It's men like these that are setting the ground work for us young people and our futures! Thank you Justice Roy Moore, Justice Tom Parker, Colonel Hank Fowler, Judge Ben Hand and Mr. Alan Zeigler!

Katherine and I spent most of our time with the Linton family. Some of the joys of our time in Alabama was getting to meet new friends, getting to know old ones better, dancing at a Southern Heritage event and playing oodles of Boggle (a game I am horrible at just for the record). Thanks for all the memories, Mr. and Mrs. Linton, Alex and Brett, Matt, Matthew, the Bryan family, Nick, Hosea, The Parker family, The Sander family, the Ford family, the Nathan DeLadurantey family, Jessica, the resounding voice crew, Brian, Angel, Justin, Sandra Bell, and so many others. We can't thank you enough for the hours of fun and hard working memories. May the future allow for us to get to know each other better...Stay in touch!

That's it in a nutshell. We hope you enjoy the photos below. I know it's way past time for a new post but you know how posting film pics goes...Lots more work. That is the only time I wish we had a digital camera (don't get too disappointed about that statement Josh W., Joel and Grahm Fisher :) Have a great night everyone!
