Visiting Greenville

This weekend we drove up to Greenville to visit family, interview for a potential job, looks at houses, and celebrate a couple of birthdays. It was a busy but fun weekend!

Here's a look at some of what we did. We took a lot of pictures on Mrs. Reid's camera, so unfortunately, I do not have all of the pictures we took.

We visited Paul's parents new lake lot! They have sold their house in Greenville, bought the lot on Lake Hartwell, and will be moving at the end of August to a rental place while their house is being built. YAH! The lot is SO gorgeous and has an incredible view. I can foresee many many night and weekends spent on the lake with them in the future.

We found a baby bird. It must have fallen from a tree nearby. It was so sad looking. Anytime we touched it, it would stick it's head in the air and open it's mouth waiting for something to eat. I wanted to save it - you know like you see in the movies where they make a nest in a shoebox and nurse the baby bird back to health. Unfortunately, I'm not about to go all Alicia Silverstone for this little bird, so I just picked it up and moved it out of harms way (ie the cat and other animals that might have eaten it) so hopefully it can die in peace.

Paul especially loved the time with his Dad and brother. Home is where he can let his guard down, loosen up, rough-house, and just play around. He loves hitting golf balls over into the lake, throwing the football, and messing around with this Dad and brother. And it's so much fun to watch! I hope we have little boys some day. :)

Vance always has a good time visiting Grammy and Grampy! He loves being able to run around in the backyard as long as someone is out there with him. Every once in a while he'll get the sniff of something, and go into his hunting-pointing pose. It's fun to see! Before we rescued him he was certainly trained for hunting. 

And then he'll roll around in the grass. 

These two were meant for each other. 

So were these two! Holly asked me to be a bridesmaid in their wedding. I am so honored to be able to stand up there with them as they devote their lives to each other. They are such a sweet couple, and a true example of people who live by their faith in the Lord. Can't wait for May 18, 2012!

Nothing beats going home. Paul and I so blessed to have such wonderful families. We are both looking forward to moving back to the upstate - wherever that may be. 

God Bless
