Whirlwind.Weekend

These last few days have been such a beautiful blur! Friday & Saturday were spent at a Marriage Conference in Raleigh. What a blessing! Walker & I both went in with mixed feelings and a bit of awkwardness...but we couldn't have asked for a better experience! We had the privilege to hear some great truths from God's word, as well as spend some time digging deep into the hearts of our future spouse. We also met Kevin & Kelli, another engaged couple from Charlotte, NC. We were thankful for their fellowship throughout the weekend!

[I should also add that attending this marriage conference would not have been possible without Walker's willingness to sacrifice. He chose to forgo a Choral Festival in Mars Hill so we could attend this conference together. And I am so thankful! Walker:::Your sacrifices humble me. Thank you for always making our relationship a top priority.]

The rest of our Saturday was filled with fellowship, as we had the rare opportunity to spend time with both of our parents, at the same time! We were able to share a meal together at Noodles & Company [So good! Fingers crossed that Asheville gets one by the time I move there!], and make lots of progress on wedding plans. We took Walker's parents to see the church, as well as the reception site--and they loved it! Later, Walker & I got a chance to sit down with his dad and discuss some specifics about our marriage counseling, which will start soon!

By Sunday, we were both back at our separate corners of the state. I enjoyed a beautiful Sunday filled with friends, fellowship, and football! Well, in my case--Fergie. Because I pretty much just watched the half-time show. Oh and Finn. Because obviously I watched the Glee episode that immediately followed. But, I can't lie. It kind of scared me.

Enough alliteration. Bottom line, my weekend was lovely! But gone way too fast. I am looking forward to the week ahead...no tests, AND on Thursday my best friend Ashley Miller comes into town! Ashley is one of those friends that female country artists write about. The kind that is always there when I need a laugh, a listening ear, or a shoulder to cry on. I cannot wait to soak up some sweet time with her!

Now...I'd love to keep writing, but to be honest, I'm too distracted by The Bachelor's Michelle's crazy antics to write one word more. She is insane! This show is too much. Yet here I sit. Week after week. I'll be sure to blog again in the next few days while I'm NOT watching bad, yet addicting, reality TV.
