Last weekend, Russ and I made the trek down to Jackson to spend the night before our orientation meeting with the adoption agency in Hattiesburg the next day. Kristin and Lee recently moved into an adorable house there, and we were very excited that we got to see all the cute touches in true Kristin style!
Do you see that cute spring wreath on the door? Yep. She made that, and she is selling them as well. If you are interested, I know she will have some, along with a multitude of other items, at Corinth's Green Market on May 7. Stop by and show her some love! Oh yeah, I will also have some aprons and T-SHIRTS there! I can't say enough about how informative and comforting our orientation meeting was! Especially after such an exciting morning. You see, there were about 3-4 tornadoes ON THE GROUND right about the time we were supposed to leave town. Kristin works at a bank, and she had texted that they were huddled in the vault. I was running around without my pants on (I was in the middle of getting ready!) putting pillows in the hallway for my own safety. I'm pretty sure there is no safe place in their house...windows everywhere! Although, Clinton was hit extremely hard...we were safe from harm. We headed out on time and had a nice ride to Hattiesburg. However, on our way back, we raced the weather back into town. Russ was "tighter than a tick" as my mother would say. Ha! I just put my ear phones on and turned my music up! Probably not helpful. Oh well! My mom had also braved the storm coming into town to close on my grandparents' house. (YES, it sold! Praise the Lord!) So, we all ate a nice celebratory supper at Keifer's before Mama started back home.
The rest of the weekend was absolutely beautiful! We met special friends, Pat and Felicia, for lunch at Rooster's. We haven't seen them in forever, and we were so sad to hear about the loss of their puppy that week. We wanted to show them some love and share in our excitement as well. Of course, they brought along their BIG baby, Toby, and the bun in the oven, Nate. They gave us our first baby gift, but I didn't get a picture of it. It was precious! So special! After sitting at the table for over an hour and talking, we moved to the parking lot for another hour of conversation and catching up! Always fun and unfiltered when Felicia and I are together! Ha!

Toby...Can you believe that he's not even two yet!? I cannot believe how big he has gotten!After lunch, we met Kristin and Lee back at the house for a movie date. We went to see Rio in 3-D. Besides the unexpected 3-D price, it was wonderful! The music was great and it was so funny! I definitely recommend it!

Lee and KristinWe were supposed to leave Saturday to be back in time for Sunday school on Sunday. But, we got caught up in a game of Last Word and racing each other around the house. Yes. You read that correctly! Russ and I raced each other around the house. I had to run around it 4 times and Russ had to run around 5 times since he was in better shape. For the record, I won! Needless to say, we spent the night and woke up at 6 in the morning so we could at least make it to our later service at church.

It was a wonderful weekend full of fun, possibilities, and friends! Thanks, Kristin and Lee, for putting us up for both nights! Now we are ready for Step 3!
