Weekend Away

Friday Jeremy and I headed North to stay with Marc & Kristina. On the way we stopped at this super cute diner in Jacksonville. We thought it looked like it could be on the show, "Diners, Drive Inns & Dives" It was way fun. They brought us a warm loaf of homemade bread and  the food was great. We were glad we took the time to stop instead of eating fast food.
On our drive we saw some funny stuff. We saw this amazing rainbow (although there wasn't any rain). We also spotted one of my high school coaches in front of us on the interstate. Then when we went past Bloomington we spotted Abby, Chuck, & Lindsay! It was so crazy.
We really enjoyed the extra time to visit with the Gorsch family. Since our girls stayed home with their Papa and Grammy I had fun playing with Sadie & snuggling with Kinnick. They are both so adorable. I can't get over how similar Grace & Sadie's personalities are.
The wedding was at Funks Grove chapel. It was gorgeous and a great day for a wedding.
Okay, so this picture didn't turn out so great, but it was the only one we took together. I was so glad Jeremy ended up coming with me, he is my favorite person to road trip with!
"My Girls" (minus the Bride)
The wedding was so much fun. It was such a great time to visit, although too short.  Abby looked so gorgeous. And the reception was beautiful with really yummy food! I don't know if I thought it would be possible to still be this close to my girls 5 years after college. They are still my closest girl friends and prayer partners. I feel SO blessed to have them in my life.

A Girlfriends Weekend

Faith "helping" Stephanie see what the future holds with an active baby in the house!

Last weekend the girls and I took a road trip and had LOTS of fun. Jeremy and family & friends were helping to replace our roof. But we were 4 hours away having a great time. We left Friday and spent the night with Stephanie (one of my college roommates). It was the first time we had visited since she had her daughter Hannah. Grace enjoyed seeing baby Hannah and trying to "share" toys with her. On Saturday my college girlfriends all got together. We got to see Kristina, Lindsay, Stephanie, Betty, & Abby. We also had lots of little girls. Even though Lindsay's daughters were not there we still had Belle, Grace, Sadie, Faith, & Hannah! Thats a lot of girls. It was fun catching up & hearing about Abby's upcoming wedding plans. We also did a fun craft with the little girls. Everytime we get together I am overwhelmed at how close we have stayed. We had some serious fun together in college!! One of the things Jill Savage says you have to have to survive in minstry is close friends that don't attend your church. I don't really have any friends in Hannibal that don't attend CRCC. I really value the special friendships I have with these girls. They don't see me as a minister's wife. They see me as "just Jenn" a girl who had some serious bumps along the way to get where she is now. (Can anyone say Tom?) I love you girls!! And I am loving seeing our little girls have fun together now too!
