our friends picking up their kids...and our trip to the Outer Banks

No news for our family, but these 3 families are in Rwanda right now picking up their kiddos. Kara (Higgins) and I met in Kansas City several months back and have been praying for each other throughout this whole waiting period. I'm thrilled for their family...especially their newest additions, Zeke and Etienne!

Hunter and I went away (to the Outer Banks) for our 5 year anniversary. We had a fabulous time and here's some of what we learned while we were away:

1. Macgyver is very much still on television...Hunter watched multiple episodes to prove it. Okay, we both watched multiple episodes.
2. Low(er) riding Honda Accords can drive through 6 inches of rain for 2 miles straight without dying within 9 hours.
3. "The sad truth is that we are like the Pharisees who loved the reputation for knowing God more than they loved God" C. John Miller. Ouch for me.
4. [Enter really sappy/personal comment about how much my love and respect for Hunter has grown in the past 5 years.]
5. It is a rebuilding year for Wake... tough loss on Saturday
6. Hunter's parents and our friend Carly are AMAZING. Lucy played with them while we were out of town and she had a blast. I think she's already bored now that I'm home.
7. We want our freaking approval. Not that we didn't know that before... I'm just sayin. I'm not mad, just ready!

Have a great week!
