My first all girl adult bible study!!
The photos below were from my last one! (and again with the fuzzy photos) And it really has been far too long!
Me and Elizabeth
Me, Jamie, Rachael, Alicia. Tiffany, Elizabeth and Crystal! I really miss seeing all of these girls on a daily basis!
Who doesn't love butter on their bread.
I didn't know how much I missed this time with my friends in the word until I got back in it! Thank you God, for bringing Elizabeth into my life all those years ago and for keeping us close!
That same week I was able to take some time off of work to go visit my Mom and my MeMe and PapPaw at their condo in Hot Springs. Michael and Dad both had to work so they stayed at their respective homes and watched the dogs and Emma. We had so much fun together and had to get a couple of 3 Generation photos! This is a must any time we are together and now that Emma is here we actually have 4!!
MeMe got us all the same dress this spring and this was the first time we could all wear it together. ;-)
Thank you to PapPaw for taking sooooo many photos to get these two were we all looked good.
I arrived on Tuesday afternoon and ate some watermelon and then went off to get a massage and a pedicure. It was nice to know that I could relax and not worry about having to be anywhere for a little while. Mom was working since it was the 3rd of the month and any one in the banking business knows that that is one busy day! Once we were all settled in we loaded up and headed out to one of their favorite places J & S Italian Villa Dinner was lovely and we laughed at each other. Mostly me laughing at the fact that when I am around my family I have to play a translator. PapPaw can't hear what MeMe and Mom say, Mom didn't understand PapPaw and MeMe repeats what Mom said to PapPaw. :-D After a lovely dinner we decided to take in a show. And what show would be appropriate for all in attendance...
Well let me just tell you it was not Magic Mike
Lucky for us when we got there the place was packed and the four of us had to split up. PapPaw had no idea what the movie was about and remember my comment about hearing...well the sound was terrible and so what little jokes there were were entirely lost on PapPaw since he couldn't hear them so basically he was just watching male strippers and bad acting for over an hour and a half! This of course caused us to laugh hysterically when Mom and I saw his face once we exited the theater!! We decided that the next day they could choose their own movie!!
On the fourth we were able to sleep in until 8!! It was glorious!!! Then after breakfast Mom PapPaw and I went for a little boat ride on Lake Hamilton.
We road around for almost three hours and even made it to the damn. Again knowing that my little girl was being lovingly taken care of by her daddy allowed me to relax and enjoy the view.
We got home to find MeMe ready for lunch so we changed cloths quickly and came out with everyone in black and white!
Lunch at fisherman's wharf was delish and it reminds me just how much I love to eat fish...and I didn't even order the fried catfish!
After lunch we gals went to shop and I came out with three new bathing suits...but no real plans to be on the water again soon. Oh well they will keep and at least they looked good even after a big lunch. We shopped until we could shop no more and then came home...changed cloths and went out to dinner and another movie! This time Mom and I went to see Snow White and the Huntsman since we are into all things supernatural and it was a much better selection. MeMe and PapPaw left People Like Us disapoinited yet again but at least this one wasn't our fault.
With new suits I just had to go for a swim. Mom and I went to the pool and I swam around for about an hour then Mom and I walked the grounds of the condo. I really miss being able to just sit and talk with my mom. We talk daily but it's not the same on the phone somehow.
The next morning we woke and all went to breakfast at The Pancake Shop One of my very favorite places to eat. If I had my way I think I could eat breakfast three meals a day. We made it back to the condo and Mom and I hit the road back to our respective homes by 10. It was so nice to get away but as always its even better to be home!!
On Friday I kept Emma home with me for some Mommy bonding time and we decided to hit up the splash park yet again! This time with our good buddy Elle and her mom Whitney. We topped of a great day of playing in the sun with some Flying Fish and yes I am wearing my bathing suite and cover up at a restaurant right at the top of the lunch rush! Turns out Emma is a fan of catfish!
Later that night we went to walk the dogs and pick some blackberries...yep you guessed it...Emma is also a fan of blackberries!
It was a perfect end to the week capped off by a great Sunday service at First Church in Springdale with a little time for a photo shoot on our way out!
This is her "I'm really proud of myself" look!
Well that wraps up another week! See you again soon.
Be blessed,
Jill
