Girls Weekend!!



Last weekend, I had the opportunity to go to Memphis, TN to visit some friends from college. I made the trip with my old roommate, Winter. We had a great time catching up and EATING, of course we made a trip to the pool as well. On our last day, we got to see the animals at the Memphis Zoo and went to a local church for a night of worship with Shane & Shane. However, my favorite night was when we played the game Loaded Questions. We all have a mixture of competitive nature and flat out silliness. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Picture 5 loud and crazy girls that have known each other for years, and one boy who was an amazing sport! We gave him such a hard time about his Wimbledon T-shirt that I think it will be impossible for him to ever wear it again without thinking of us.

As the move to Clearwater gets closer and closer, I cannot help but reflect on the blessings I have received here in Nashville. Even though I have not lived in the exact same house, I have been in this city for almost eight years. For me that is forever. Moving around every few years as a child has given me an ability to make new friends, but unfortunately I have always lost touch with the old ones. It breaks my heart to think that Kylie will not know these people who have greatly influenced my life and who might even know me better than I know myself. I am soaking up every opportunity to enjoy all my friends from Nashville (not just the ones I met in college). I pray that as we make the move to Clearwater, I will be able to make some new friends, but that this time I will not lose touch with the old. I pray that they will get to pour into Kylie's life, plus they would be the ones to tell the best bedtime stories.
