Opelika

Most of you know by now that we were in Opelika this past weekend. My dad leads a men's retreat where they have lots of hunting, fellowship and devotions every year! Wayne and his dad have gone every year since we have been together, and in the words of Wayne, he "is already looking forward to next year!" I believe he says that every year! I'm so thankful to have a husband that wants to be spiritual fed AND that loves to spend time with our dads!

Wayne left last Wednesday, and Jacob and I followed behind on Thursday. In that short time, while Wayne was at the retreat, Jacob and I traveled to Opelika, Opp, back to Opelika, then on Sunday to Atlanta, back to Opelika, and FINALLY HOME!!!! I've never been so happy to be home in my entire life! All of that traveling with a little one is very tiring! I think from now on I'm just going to go on Saturday night, and I have a friend who is more than willing to come and spend some girl time with me during the week before! Maybe, just maybe, this certain friend will have a lil one by next year too! It will be great fun to spend time together and scrapbook while the babies sleep!

One thing that I was able to do was this SWEET little photo shoot...

Please feel free to check out the rest of these on my photog blog! He was an absolute angel! He has a beautiful, sweet family too! ;)

I also met with a builder while we were there. My mom told me about him, and insisted that I go and talk with him. You know by now that Wayne and I are constantly back and forth with the house situation. If only the market would go back up for us to sell our house!! Well, to make a long story short, we could build a house with him (the size that we need) for much cheaper than we could buy one already built! It was a really exciting experience! We have a floor plan picked out and everything. If it is in God's will, our house will hopefully be on the market in the fall and our Christmas present to each other could be a new house! Wouldn't it be lovely if all worked out as planned?? I know all too well that that doesn't always happen, but at least we have a goal! :) You want to know the funny thing? I've gotten all sentimental about our house now that we are home. It's our first home, it's where we brought Jacob home to, the only home Jacob has ever known, etc. Thank goodness it's in the Lord's hands because I would worry myself silly if it weren't!

It's about dinner time so I better run! Aren't you glad your weekend wasn't this crazy??!!
