Well, I'm a whole week late posting on our Labor Day weekend fun, but there are too many sweet memories not to document. Our fun started one day early. Thursday, which happened to be the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we met some super sweet friends from seminary for lunch. Definitely appropriate!
One thing I love about where we live is that so many of our dear friends have to pass through our town in order to get to the beach. Lucky for us because we usually get to see lots of sweet faces during the summer season! Our friends, the Burkes, were passing through on their way to beach and wanted to know if we'd like to meet. Ummmm, yeah! They needn't ask twice!
Guy and Lindsey (don't tell her I posted a picture of her with her eyes closed!) were our neighbors at seminary in New Orleans for two years, and we were all together in Atlanta for the boys' one year internship at First Baptist Atlanta, so fun!
They are some of our favorite people, and I am so thankful that David and Guy have been able to get together pretty often now that we are living in Mississippi. Story loved getting to meet Evan and Addison. In fact, we have been back to Newks since our lunch with the Burkes, and Story asked me if Addison was going to be there! Too sweet!
Friday, I had the privilege of subbing at the children's school! Such a treat to be able to see them in their school setting. Summer loves to hang out with me during recess. Such a sweet girl.
Carter wanted to me take a picture of his playground skills! Love that.
Friday night, some special people came to town for the weekend. Papa and Gigi!!! The children were over the moon with excitement! And yes, once again, I shamefully failed to take a picture of them with the children. Fail. Thankfully, we had lots of fun and made lots of memories.
Saturday, we tailgated for the first USM football game with some of our church friends. Story with her sweet friend, Mallory.
David and Mr. Jessie. He's a piece of gold, and we love him to pieces. Few people work harder at HSBC than this sweet man.
Annnnnd, since Papa and Gigi were in town, David and I were able to attend our very first game at the rock, so fun! Not only did we get to go, but we had really great seats. Even better!
We stayed through the first quarter, but then we had to hurry home because the dawgs were playing at 7:00, and we definitely didn't want to miss that. Sadly, it did not turn out in our favor, but this weekend we definitely redeemed ourselves.
Sunday, David and I got to have a date day. After lunch, we sent the children home for naps with Papa and Gigi, and we just hit the town. We shopped and piddled around town before heading to supper at one of our favorites, Crescent City Grill. We are so thankful to Papa and Gigi for allowing us to spend some much needed alone time. You don't really realize how tired you are until you have a break, ha! Monday, we grilled out yummy steaks and chicken for lunch before they had to hit the road for home. Long weekends are the best, but you sure do spend the rest of the week recovering from them. Maybe that's why it has taken me a whole week to get this post up!
