Refreshing Friends.

This past Memorial Weekend marked our seventh annual Clemson reunion. What a wonderful time we had together. Coming together with these people is one of the most anticipated weekends for me each year. They are absolutely hilarious, they are amazing parents, very comforting and honest and they are hugely encouraging in keeping on with the journey we are on as believers.

"The Lodge" as our place was named, proved however, to be not-so-perfect in other ways. I will save those tales for another time. We discussed very relevant, imortant topics like American Idol finalists and our most embarrassing moments. Then there was the tubing adventure where most of the crew grabbed intertubes and went down the river, which included very mischeivous and physical pain for some, all of which included some sort of interaction with my husband.

BUT - as I said, or intended to say, that just adds memories to an already "memorial" weekend.
