A weekend of LIVING


If you read my blog, you may have noticed that I talk a lot about LIVING! We have had some hurdles this year, some ups and downs. I focus on the positive. A LOT. I talk about how we need to live our lives to the fullest and we practice this as a family ...most of that time. We have done some living this year, that is for sure. This past weekend, our niece got married in Searcy, Arkansas. We were first going to drive the 16 hours or so from Orlando to Searcy. Leaving on a Thursday or Friday and returning on the Sunday following. The more we thought about it, the more we realized this would be too much driving, too stressful. Now, I had planned on creating a photo scavenger hunt for our drive and would have come up with other activities had we made that trek, but we all were dreading it to be perfectly honest. So, we decided to spend the money, be relaxed and enjoy our visit. We absolutely made the right decision. We had a blast in Memphis, we enjoyed the wedding in Searcy and returned to Memphis for our flight home. It was a fantastic weekend of living!

On Saturday we drove from Memphis, TN to Searcy, AR. We had the pleasure of attending our niece's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding, full of laughter and joy. It was wonderful to see her, meet her new husband and also to see our nephew who gave the bride away. A wonderful weekend of living.
