Weekend of Fun, Friends and Family

This weekend began with me going down to Conway on Friday to celebrate the life of a dear family friend who had fought the tough battle of ALS. This service was special as my dad got to honor this man and we all rejoiced at John's new, restored, healthy body in Heaven! I got to go walking with my best friend Meg, which was so refreshing and good for my heart! She is getting married in Nov and I'm so excited this couple! 

Jordan spent the weekend in Fayetteville playing golf with his dad and brother and spending time with some dear friends. He had a little bit of a boys' weekend and I was really excited for him to get this time with these men he loves so much. 

While in Conway, my dear friend Stephanie got engaged to Garrett Peters and we had a party to celebrate the beginning of this great adventure for these two people. It was a lot of fun to see old friends and catch up with people. My mom was so much help and I'm so very thankful for her being there to help me. 

This is my sweet friend Anne, we often think we look similar in photos!
Here's the future bride  and her bling! 
And then I returned home early Sunday to have breakfast with a special woman in my life, KJ. She was one of my small group leaders growing up and it was so great to spend time with her. While driving home after church, I was refreshed by these "colors" of fall that surround me in Fayetteville and I am just so thankful for where I am!
