It seems like the older you get, the more you realize the importance of
your family. And the more you treasure every moment when you get
together. God has blessed Matthew and I both with loving family members
who mostly all live in Georgia. It's always this whirlwind when we are
down there trying to see everyone in short spans of time. But in the
end, it's worth a few barely-nap days for baby and getting carried away by
gnats at the family picnic.
This fall has been a season of weddings (four, to be exact!) among friends and family. So needless to say, both William and Olive - Olive the Outback - have racked up some miles in the past couple of months!
Most recently we got to celebrate the marriages of two of my dear cousins, Chipper and Janet, to our newest additions to the family, Megan and Trevor. Fortunately for us, they were both in Georgia on back-to-back weekends. So William and I began our trek to GA the day after Halloween, returning to Tennessee on November 12th. Matthew was able to drive down for Janet's wedding on Veteran's Day weekend. I will post those pics later. Today, here are the *numerous pictures from Chipper and Megan's wedding at Lake Blackshear outside of Cordele, Ga.
*Thanks to Ashley for posting many of her pics to FB where I STOLE them :-P Love you!
