A Visit From Friends

Thanksgiving was different this year. It was our first year away from Ketchikan, away from everything that has been familiar. We were blessed this year to have friends join us for a few days over the weekend. It was so much fun to have Becky and Tim with us. Great to be able to catch up and be around good friends.

Friday took us to a Mennonite community about 20 minutes from where we live. We saw alot of the countryside and then stopped into Franklin Tennessee for lunch.
Saturday Jasen and Tim headed out to Bowling Green, KY to do some shopping and have some "guy time". Becky and I hung out at home visiting over countless cups of tea. It was very relaxing and nice to chat, so much nicer that emails and phone calls!!

Saturday evening we took a trip into Nashville to see the Opryland Hotel. It was very busy and I have to admit a little stressful trying to keep the kids together, but Becky and Tim had fun seeing the beautiful Christmas decor, it really is an incredible sight.


We packed quite a bit into our time together and had alot of fun. Hopefully they will come back to visit again, which they both promised they would :)

We were just talking about the Opryland Hotel and how beautifully it is decorated this year. Jeremy and I used to go and share a piece of cheesecake and coffee there togethor. Fun newlywed memories!=)

Of course I'll come back! It will be fun to visit in your new house and to see Tennessee when it's in full bloom. I enjoyed the "countless cups of tea," the chatting, the sightseeing, the kids, laughing and crying over YouTube... Lots of fun. Looking forward to next time. :) Now I've got to work on a post of my own!

Great pictures of the family and friends. It sounds like it was a busy but fun time for all. Hearing about all your chatting over cups of tea really makes me miss you and Becky.

What a beautiful light display at the Opryland Hotel.

Love,

Rosie
