wow, what a trip! We are finally back to the weather we love!! Ok, so it may take a few entries to catch you all up on our 12 day trip to Ohio. So bear with me as I want to make sure to add pics. And not leave out even one small detail!! Wednesday night we left at 8:30 P.M. after Ty's Bible study. We drove to Charleston, WVA to spend the night to get some rest before we drove the rest of the way to Worthington on Thursday morning. The boys did amazing driving that late, they all fell asleep and woke just as we pulled into the hotel. They were all so excited to stay in the hotel, we were afraid they would never get back to sleep. We made it that afternoon in time for lunch, Donatos pizza, of course, and off to happy nappy time!! Friday Dustin, Dylan, and I were off again. We left Ty and Bryce with Grandma and Grandpa for the weekend while we went to Miami for the weekend 'fest' with our friends!! Seven years strong, it is a time we all look forward to.
So weekend one:
Miami Ohio with ten other couples. We arrive in time for Dustin to play football with the guys and Dylan and I head to hang out with the girls as they paint pottery. First of all, it is FREEZING!! Already missing Charlotte weather! We all finally met up to have pizza and a night of 'sharing'. It lasted four hours, so not even kidding!! It was nice to catch up with everyone and here what the Lord was doing in everyone's life. Sure made Dustin and I wish we lived closer to everyone. There is a great and unique friendship that everyone there shares. The next morning the boys were off playing football again and the girls ran/walked. We made our way uptown to have some famous bagel and deli!! It was too cold and rainy for us all to head to campus, so the girls shopped while the boys watched football!! (so much football) Go Bucks!! It was a great weekend for us to get away, reconnect, and be encouraged. We love the fest, yes even me :-)
Meanwhile, back in Worthington......The boys and the Grandparents had a great time at the mall play ground and cosi! The boys ate as much ice cream as they could while we were out and came home with lots of extra goodies!! They had a wonderful time. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for keeping them and loving them so well!
Being back in Ohio was harder than I expected it to be. I couldn't help the tears as they seemed to flow nonstop and at the most random times. I knew it would be hard to be at my parents house for the first time since my mom's passing, but I didn't realize how hard it would be just being in Ohio and at Miami. I sure do miss her being around.......
