Update

Alright well i promise i am going to try and keep up with the blog a little better over the next few weeks as i get ready to cross the pond!!

this past weekend was a great one, a good break in the monotony of work and everything. i hung out at the house on friday night and just chilled then on saturday morning michelle and i got up bright and early to make it to lynchburg by 8:30 to meet up with the hutts. we rode down to concord north carolina with them for Carter's wedding!!! it's crazy to think that he is a married man! the wedding was great and it was fun to get to see people that i haven't seen in a while. michelle and i shared a hotel room down the hall from the hutts on saturday night. (side note: i LOVE staying in hotels... i think it's really fun)

i was really excited to get back to lynchburg on sunday afternoon because some very special guests were there waiting! katie, jon, nate, and lucy arrived in lynchburg late on friday night and i was so happy that i got to spend some time at home with them. we hung out on sunday afternoon and played in the sprinkler and baby pool. greg was over and everything so the whole family was together. we had a delicious dinner out on the porch and it was just really great time together. laura and adam and the girls were able to come to dinner too so it was a great crowd! after dinner katie, jon, and i went bowling which was really fun and i am surprisingly NOT sore from it, which i was not expecting haha.

it was definitely nice to sleep in my bed and be able to sleep in a little each morning. on monday we hung out around the house in the morning and then for lunch we went over to silver pig for some bbq. then we headed over to hanshill for some swimming in the pond. nate was very brave and was jumping off the dock to mimi who was on a raft. he did it a few times, going a little further under each time, and then got a little scared when he went a little too deep haha so that was the end of that. but then we were able to go on a boat ride with jon and that made everything better.

on monday nannie and pop came over for dinner which was fun to see them with nate and lucy. katie, jon, and i then made it over to the movie theater to see the newest chronicles of narnia movie (which was GREAT). it was so refreshing to be home and with my family all together and just a really needed break. i had to head back to harrisonburg tuesday around lunch time. daddy drove me to waynesboro where we met michelle who drove the rest of the way to harrisonburg.

now it's back into the grind for a few more weeks. i'm working the tea room during the day and dinner at 56 for the rest of the week so i might be MIA for a few days because i'll be tired and probably wont' have too much exciting stuff to write about. i'll get through this weekend, and then i'll have less than a week of working... it is so crazy, it's almost time for me to go!!! ahhhh it's been so far away for so long that i'm not sure i realize that it's not that far off anymore!!! so 1.5 more weeks of work, then i am going to another friend's wedding on the 14th. then i'll move out of the soupbowl :( and head back to lynchburg for about a week before mamma and i go to the beach!!! the next few weeks are going to be great and are going ot fly by i just know it!!

alright that's all for now. more soon!
