Here's a picture of me and Reese before the event began
Crazy - My Aunt Paula who lives in SC, whom I only see about once every other year, was there!! And we hadn't talked about going when we were on the phone a couple of weeks earlier, and there were 1200 ladies there, and when Necie and I sat down, I looked up, and she was standing about 3 rows up from us! YAY! What a great surprise! This is the 3 of us the 2nd day, the rest are from the first night.
Reese meeting Aunt Paula for the first time!
Us and Necie
I can't explain the worship experience, amazing in and of itself, but to be able to have it with these 2 great ladies while holding my beautiful daughter...awesome.
We went shopping at the Opry Mills Mall and rented one of their stroller cars for Reese. She was pretty tired by then...
When our sleeping beauty awoke, she was in much better spirits and laughed for several minutes in a dressing room while I tried a couple things on. (She wasn't laughing at me, I don't think...)
After all that shopping, we worked up quite an appetite and enjoyed pasta and a dessert called The Great Shark Attack at the Aquarium restaurant inside the mall - it was FABULOUS!
And the weekend ended far too soon - here we are back at the airport having a quick snack
And back on the airplane
And this is the Coke that did NOT end up sliding off the tray and into Necie's open purse on the floor...
Abilene airport lost our luggage coming home, but we had it delivered to the front door about 10:30 that night, so no worries. All in all, a fantastic trip!
While the girls were gone, David and the boys shared some quality time they titled "MAN-a-thon!"
Thanks so much, sweetheart, for an incredibly thoughtful gift!
