1. We went to Asheville, North Carolina for our anniversary. Also, several people have recently commented to us that we sure do travel a lot. Well, duh! No denying that! We both think that people should take the opportunities to travel when you get the chance, because one day you might not get those chances anymore.! If our parents are going to invite us to stay with them at Gatlinburg, or Gulf Shores.....OF COURSE WE ARE GOING TO GO! Firstly, we love traveling. Secondly, it's a cheap vacation. And lastly, and most importantly, we get to get away from the grind and spend time together (and with our family)!
Anyway, for our anniversary, we planned a trip alone to Asheville and it was delightful. Click here to read the Asheville blog post!
2. My dad was in a really bad wreck. You might be thinking..... "uh, why is this one of your favorite things?" WELL, miraculously everyone involved were completely 100% ok! He, my uncle, and 2 other men from their church were driving to Elizabethtown to help their new pastor move. It was raining pretty bad, and their truck hydroplaned then hit a guard rail. THEN it the truck preceded to spin around, flip upside down, and then drag across I-65 via the roof of the truck. All of them were wearing their seat belts, so they were suspended upside down as cares raced by their overturned truck.
My dad, uncle, and one of the other guys were eventually able to help each other in getting out of the car. With the help of an ambulance, finally the other man was taken out of the car and rushed to the hospital. They thought he might have some head trauma, with the possibility of even worse. At this point, it did not look good for him...
THEN, once they all arrived at the hospital, Danny was surprisingly talking and joking, like he normally does. After a short while, and a few staples later, EVERYONE left E-town alive and well!
There are so many variables that could have been different and made this year's Father's Day terrible for four families. Thankfully, God was watching over them as they traveled that day and gave us all a miracle. I'm so glad that everyone was ok and that I got to spend another Father's Day with my dad. I love you, Dad!
3. Another wedding happened! Well, technically, it was a reception, not a wedding. A friend from high school, Chelsea, got married on June 6 (same day as Lauren's) at the beach! The couple had their reception 2 weeks later in their hometown and celebrated with many friends and family! They had their first dance, the best man and matron of honor gave their toasts, and they showed a video from their wedding ceremony. I really enjoyed watching the wedding video and watching the wedding video to get to see their faces throughout the day: excitement during getting ready, happiness and a bit of nervousness during the ceremony, and love (and relief) after the kiss! It was a relaxed, yet very classy reception! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Alexander!
Additionally, I got to see all of my other high school friends as well!
