Some People Are So Much Sunshine to the Square Inch

For two of the weekends in October we had some lovely friends come to see us! Being in a new town is strange and little lonely sometimes, so seeing some dear friends is like a plate of homemade cookies still warm from the oven.

First, Kayla, Haley, and Scott cam to see us and we were so excited to spend a little bit of time with our friends and to share our new city with them. We took them to check out downtown Greenville and my new favorite tea bar (OCHA) down on the Reedy River.

These three also visited us when we lived in Baton Rouge, so it was especially fun to be able to share some of the similarities and differences between our two homes that we've had since we've been married.

This trio is incredibly dear to Joshua and me as we have walked with them through the last few years of our lives. It's been difficult being away from good friends that love us so faithfully (even at a distance), but Haley, Scott, and Kayla always bring in the warmth like a ray of sunshine whenever we see them.

Here are a few pictures!



 







On another weekend in October we found out that Lauren was planning to come visit us as well! 
Joshua and I have felt so spoiled to have all of our favorite people take time out of their work, school, and rest to come be with us! Lauren brought her usual spunk and some great questions (I'm so proud!) which reminded me anew the appreciation I have for my little sister and her accountability in my life.

We also hung out downtown a bit and, since the weather was nice, had some great photo practice with our camera. Lauren even snapped a few great pictures of us (which you may see featured on the Harkey Christmas card this year). We also bought some pumpkins and I let Joshua and Lauren go at it while I stood around annoyingly taking photos while they did all the hard work. On Sunday, Lauren came with us to the church that we have somewhat recently decided to start attending (The Summit). The pastor spoke on finances and what it means to be a good steward of the resources that God gives us which lead to some really great conversation between the three of us.

Here are some more pictures!


  






It's so nice to be closer to Atlanta and to reconnect with our college buddies!
