Favorites

I never thought I would care to join the 21st century in the world of cell phone technology but I did about a year ago and I love it. I have the iphone and the applications you can download are endlessly creative and abundant. YouVersion is an app that keeps me connected to scripture throughout the day and outlines great reading plans for those of us bible reading people. Jonathan and I are reading the marriage plan right now and also reading the one year bible plan. If you have a smart phone and you read the bible, download this app!

Another favorite of mine is Warby Parker...we heard about the company a while back and shared it with our friends and now they are popping up everywhere. They are a customer-serving company that will send you 5 pairs of glasses for free (AND pays for shipping) and you can buy a pair of frames with prescription lenses for only $95. Yes, it's awesome. I wear contact lenses and glasses and i'm anxiously awaiting my 5 pairs to try on.

A weekend on The Plains

Jonathan and I packed up and headed to Auburn this weekend for the Florida game and we had a blast. We stayed at Ethan's apartment...I still can't believe he is a freshman in college! Zach came down too and it was a lot of fun hanging out with both brothers. We saw friends, enjoyed food, tailgating, walking around campus and going to the game. Hubby and I had great seats thanks to Pat! We are looking forward to sharing Auburn Football weekends with our kids :) Our must-stop was Toomer's for lemonade before heading back...until next time!

Lacy's BEAUTIFUL wedding day!

We are back to Alabama!! Time has absolutely flown by since the end of July and every step of this journey has been incredible. Jonathan was traveling to Texas with his previous job and they planned to offer him a promotion and for us to move to TX...well, God's timing is perfect and out of the blue he had an interview in Birmingham. We didn't get our hopes up and took it a day at a time and low and behold, they offered him the JOB! His dream job, back to our roots.

Lacy's wedding was August 20 and it was beautiful and fun. We flew home for that, looked at our future apartment, flew back to FL and was there for the movers to move our things (so thankful for that). We lived in a hotel for almost 2 weeks while J started his job and then Sept. 1 we moved into our quaint apartment. This is temporary but in a great location for us to house hunt.

Well, here we are just a month later and we found a house! What seems like 8 months has only been 1 month as we have been busy visiting with family and friends 24/7. We love it and each day, we are aware of how blessed we are. One regret is that J broke our camera so all we have to depend on for now is the iphone :(

We miss our friends/coworkers from Florida but we are so thankful to be surrounded by family (and great BBQ). Football season has kept us busy and we are looking forward to a trip to the plains next weekend! Can't wait to see the Tigers play Florida!
