30 Years!

This past weekend Joshua’s mom and dad came to visit us and became our first official Georgian visitors! It was the weekend before their 30th wedding anniversary (November 6th) and they chose to come and spend it with us! Joshua and I have both been blessed by his parents’ love and support and we were encouraged by the time they spent with us :) We spent the first part of our Saturday morning traveling to New Orleans because Baton Rouge was slam packed for the Bama game (sorry, not sorry LSU). We stopped by Mother’s restaurant so Tim could satisfy his Po-Boy craving and then headed to the river for a ferry ride! It was a beautiful day to see the city!

 

 

 

 

 

On the way home we stopped by an old plantation on the Mississippi called the Houmas House. We went on a walk around the garden which was absolutely beautiful. They have a number of live oaks which were hundreds of years old! Then we took a tour of the house. Oddly enough, the house's current owner actually lives in it. And we were allowed to touch and sit on anything throughout the tour- definitely unique.

 

 

 

That night Joshua cooked us some teriyaki chicken, baked potatoes, and vegetables served with my famous salad. It was such blast to hang out with Tim and Natalie and Joshua and I loved serving them together in our home.

 

One of the greatest things about being married is having a space that provides warmth, love, encouragement, and security to other people. I pray that no matter where we live in the world that we will always have a space that invites others in from the hardships of life and that we can provide a shelter from the world.
