A Weekend Away

Well summer is almost over and I apologize for not posting sooner. Nate and I have been extremely busy with house stuff and getting ready for the new school year. We were sitting around tonight and Nate handed me the computer and said, "Update the blog!" So here I am updating our blog with some fun pictures from this weekend.

Earlier this year my best friend Darcie and I went to an auction to benefit missionaries from our church. We bid on a cabin at Crystal Mountain and actually one it! We were so excited and finally took the time to go up there with our husbands, Joy and Grace, my sister Jaime, and our good friends the Marshall's. So here are some pictures of our weekend.

What a goofy little smile she has! Finally we got a picture with Joy looking at the camera.

We're so glad that Jaime was able to come with us. I can't believe how old she is getting. She'll be a junior this year and is doing great on her school's golf team.

We decided to go to Frankfort beach but when we got there it was so cold. The temperature had dropped about 15 degrees from the time we left the mountain to the beach. Oh well, the girls had some fun playing in the sand for a little bit.

Look at those smiles! I think they had fun spending time together. I know Jaime loves hanging out with the Jackson girls. I think they like spending time with her too!

Okay, so I just had to end this blog entry with a cheesy picture of our good friend Rich (Darcie's husband). Lately Rich is into posing like he is getting his senior picture taken. I know his birthday is coming up and he is getting closer to 30 and getting is older is hard for some people. I think he is trying to hold on to his younger years. Oh Rich, you are just too silly.

We had such a great time with you guys! What a wonderful weekend away to end the summer. I can't believe it's time for you to go back to work. Whatever shall we do? I guess I'll have to wait until the weekends now to get together. Boo! Anyways, I think I'll link my blog to your's because we didn't get many pictures at all.

Thanks as always for the fun memories on vacation!

Love you guys,
Darcie
