Past 2 Weekends

Dusty and I have been busy visiting with family for the past 2 weekends. It was great to see everybody and spend time with family. The first weekend we drove to Germantown, TN (right outside of Memphis) to see Dusty's parents and sister. We left Pooler Thursday night, spur of the moment, and drove to my parents house to spend the night. We got there late, slept about 5 hours, and got back on the road and drove 5 1/2 hours to Germantown. We did take the girls, Layla and Paisley, with us, and they were pretty good in the car, but a little stressed. With his parents, we cooked out, shopped, looked at houses, and ate some more! Haha! It was a relaxful weekend with them and we were so happy that Dusty had time off and we were able to go see them. We drove back to Pooler on Monday, 10 hours of driving, but making a stop for lunch at my parents house to see my grandpa.














My parents came down this past Thursday night and stayed until Monday. On Saturday, we went downtown to River Street for the First Saturday of the Month. They have arts and crafts and some entertainment down by the river; it was nice. That night, we ate at Uncle Bubba's...pretty good! Also on Saturday, we drove down to Wormsloe, the site in the movie Forrest Gump where he is running down the dirt road as a little boy and his braces fall off. It is so pretty and we even saw a buck! Sunday, we went to Tybee and packed a picnic and walked on the beach. After leaving the beach, we toured Ft. Pulaski...pretty cool! The brick work was amazing!

















Dusty and I are so thankful for the wonderful family we have. We were so excited to see them and spend time with them! Thank you all for everything. We love each one of you and are so glad you are in our lives!
