We got back from our vacation last night and I have plenty of pictures to post of our trip this morning . We were busy travelers. On Friday we relaxed in the afternoon before the rehearsal for Gray and Pam's wedding- napped and ran. The rehearsal went smoothly...Pam had planned everything so well that it couldn't be anything but perfect. Aaron was a groomsman along with friends from back home, so it was good for us to catch up with everyone. 
Is Aaron paying attention at the rehearsal? Jennifer and I were probably making too much noise with our chatting. 
Who's got money? This might have Aaron's initials on it, but he probably borrowed someone's money for the picture! This clip is the groomsman gift from Gray. Aaron loves it.

The dinner afterward was very special...Aaron did a great job speaking about what a great couple Gray and Pam make together. That night the wedding party (guys only) went go-cart racing, out to eat, and who knows what else...I didn't see Aaron until early afternoon on Saturday. I hung out with Grandma on Saturday morning, then went shopping for gifts before I met Aaron to go over to Cary to see Acella and Wansoo. We didn't have much time, but we met them at Marble Slab and were introduced to their 4 month old angel, Nuri! She is a gorgeous baby...we can't get over it. It was good to connect with these friends again after so much time. We miss them dearly.
Aaron had to be at the Peace College Chapel earlier than I needed to be, so I dropped him off and we met later at the start of the wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony...God-centered and reverent. God has had a lot of favor on this couple. They are moving to Philadelphia when they get back from the honeymoon so that he can attend school up there. The reception was a blast! It was held in Wake Forest at the Cotton Company and there were good food, dancing, and conversation.
The cake was as delicious as it was pretty.

On Sunday morning we visited Providence and heard good teaching from the Word about how loving our brother is also loving God (from 1John). We were able to meet Sam and Joosun again- they are enjoying themselves in the Raleigh/Chapel Hill area. We went to lunch with Chris and Kristen McCutchen and Nick, Allison, and Elijah Roark. 
It was the first time we were able to meet little Elijah, and it was a blessing. What great friends! After lunch, Kristen took me to Chip and Rebecca's new home in downtown Raleigh and I was able to meet their children Emma and Owen. They make a precious family, consecrated to God, and those babies are under exemplary motherly care! 
Sunday evening Jonathan and Joy came over to Grandma's house and had dinner with us...she fixed fried chicken that Aaron has been craving for a long time. It was a very relaxing date and it was great meeting Joy for the first time. She is a wonderful match for Jonathan and now they are making plans for their upcoming wedding in October. We are already making travel plans to come back for that! On Monday we slept in and went to see Granny and Gene in Lucama. They were fun to talk to, and Gene showed us his big boy toys. 
We met Mike in Knightdale for lunch and had enjoyable conversation with him. It was disappointing that we couldn't spend more time with Peggy and Brooke...but it was our problem since we were so pushed for time. We were whisked off to the airport after all that! Grandma was our host for the weekend and it worked out so well. We are thankful for her hospitality. We topped off the vacation by watching Rocky 1 last night.
Now it's back to reality...we have to finish our move. We are closing on the house on Friday, and Aaron went down to Albany today to meet with the movers. He should be back tomorrow, but in the meantime I got some Ben and Jerry's and a girly movie to spend the evening. Thanks for reading this long post!
