GO VOTE......

Josh and I voted today!! We waited in line for almost two hours to vote. We weren't prepared for the "high tech electronic" voting either. In Nash County you still have to go into the booth and fill in the circles COMPLETELY!! We are big city people now!! Did I mention we waited in line for almost two hours and it was pretty cold outside!!! I highly recommend early voting!!! I don't want to imagine what the polls are going to be like on November 4th!! GO VOTE!!

Pastor Appreciation

We are getting ready to start building our new church!!! We are extremely excited!
Today was Pastor Appreciation day for Pastors Daniel and Anne. We had a special service honoring them. Our Pastors are awesome. They are a gift from God. Josh and I are so thankful to be able to serve under them. We love them so much!! To honor them the church blessed them with a cruise or a vacation in Charleston.
Me and Miss Piper. She is the most adorable baby ever.


It was a great day!!!

Decorations

After Mike's Farm we came back to decorate for Pastor Appreciation. Someone had a sweet 16 party Saturday night at the church so we had to wait until the party was over to decorate.

Mike's Farm

Saturday night we went to Jacksonville to eat at Mike's Farm. We went with a big group of people from the church. We had a great time of fellowship and the food was GREAT!! The restaurant was in the middle of now where!! The picture above of the firetruck is for real..it is really called Back Swamp. This restaurant/farm was super busy. There was a two hour wait to eat. They have hay rides, country store with the best apple cider, and much more. We were not able to stay for the hay ride. We had to get back to decorate for our Pastor Appreciation service.
It was worth the wait to eat!!! Trust me you have to try this place once!!

Hi everybody!!
Josh and I took care of the girls while Paige was in the hospital. They were so much fun!! I love them so much!! I enjoyed every minute we were together. They wore their big sister shirts to school. They were proud and super excited about their new sister.
I took them to school. Afterwards we took them to Pizza Inn for lunch and then headed to Greenville to see Mommy and Leah.
