This weekend I went with my parents to Missouri to visit my sister Julie and her husband Neil. We had such a fun time! This was the first time for me to see their new house, other than pictures, and it was so lovely. It is so classy but comfortable and homey at the same time. We hit the road about 9:30 Friday morning and after stopping for a quick lunch, ended up at their house a little after 2pm. We got the official tour which made me super excited about decorating my own house someday. We had a lot of fun chatting, eating delicious meals and playing games together.



We have always enjoyed playing dominoes and this time I learned a new version of the game called Mexican Train. We liked it so much we played it both nights! We also played a board game called Settlers of Catan that was a lot of fun too.

Saturday after we ate a wonderful breakfast of Pecan Pancakes, Oldham eggs, and bacon, my parents said they would like to go to Lowes to get Julie and Neil some fall flowers for their garden. So we loaded up in Neil’s car and went to pick out some beautiful pansies, purple kale, and two big decorative pots for their garden. As it turned out our eyes were a little bigger than Neil’s Torrent, but we got a little cozy and made it all fit!




Here one of their flowerbeds after we finished!



This morning we went to church with Julie and Neil. They have such a sweet church family. You can tell they all really care about each other. The sermon was great and the worship was spectacular!

Neil is the worship leader and Julie is part of the praise team.


We ate lunch together at a cute little Italian restaurant called Nona’s Bambino before we had to head back home to OKC. I’m so glad we got to go up and visit and spend time with them. It was a wonderful weekend!
