Orlando Trip

A couple of weeks ago Shane and I had the opportunity to go to Orlando for the weekend to attend a Dan Allender conference. Gigi and HayHay volunteered to come and stay with the girls in Mobile so we could make the trip (THANK YOU!!). We weren't sure they would ever volunteer to keep them again after keeping them when we went to New Zealand (they had a full 2 months or so to recover :)

We not only got to go to an amazing conference down there but we were also able to catch up with some wonderful friends.

I got to see my "twin friends" Julie and Ashley (as well as Ashley adorable twin daughters...Julie's were at mom's day out :). We met up at a park and it brought back so many memories of our two years there when we would all meet up at parks every week for play dates. The girls miss their "fwends" so much...as do I :) It was SO great to see you guys!!!
I also got to visit with Amy and meet sweet Hope for the first time!! She is just a tiny bit ADORABLE :) SOOOO great to see you, Amy!
AHHHH! Look at this face!!

Several of Shane's seminary classmates also came down for the conference. It was SO fabulous to be able to hang out with them!
Zach, Olivia, and Tadd....
Dr. Coffield, one of Shane's counseling professors, and his wife, Mona.
It just so happened that the very same weekend we were down in Orlando so were my two best friends from college and their husbands. They were running the Disney Princess Half Marathon and after the conference we were able to meet up with them for a bit and hang out. It was SO great to see you guys! I can't believe we were down there the same weekend....crazy!

Luann, Meg, and me
Tracy, Shane, and Blake
Saturday night John and Sandy (two of Shane's classmates) hosted a party for all of their class that live there or were in town for the weekend. It was WAY fun!!

The Summerville gang....I miss these kiddos so much!
Ummmm....total sweetness!

Mamie (Amy) sent the girls some early birthday presents and they LOVED them!!
