Best Week Ever...


...In November anyway! Jeff and I got the chance to get away for the week and go to a Youth Specialties Conference. We haven't done anything just the two of us in over 3 years, so just being at the airport with NO kids was a blast!!!! We spent Friday to Monday at the Conference in Atlanta. We would get there at 9 in the morning and not get back to our hotel until midnight, but it was so much fun! We got to hear great bands: Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, Desperation Band, Third Day, just to name a few. AND awesome speakers: Andy Stanley, Louie Giglio, and Doug Fields. It was so uplifting and encouraging to both us!! Then, we drove to see one of our teens from Florida who is now going to college in Georgia, so good to see her again! Then drove to SC to see our friends, Todd and Kelley. Oh my goodness, I miss them. We haven't laughed so much in a long time!! Then we flew back to Missouri on Wednesday, just in time to spend Thanksgiving with Jeff's family! So fun!





Chris Tomlin


David Crowder (my personal favorite)





At Vannessa's Beautiful College! I love you Vannessa!





Austin and Brenden's future wives (they don't have a choice) Haley and Taylor






We went to Silver Dollar City after Thanksgiving and it was sooooo cold! Brenden was perfectly happy bundled in his stroller and did not even want to get out to do rides (but he of course, had no problem when it was time to eat!) The kids had alot of fun and the lights were just beautiful!


Austin rode his first roller coaster, he is the second to last car





Austin, being silly...imagine that :)

Oh, we were there the day before Thanksgiving, too bad we couldn't have been there when you all were there.
They closed the rides down because it was below 40, except Fire in the Hole, we rode it about 10 times! Fire in the Hole!!
