the trip began right away with an airport greeting & pickup from my mom and brother. we drove over to tuscaloosa from there to stay the night with my sister. tyler scheduled several tours and meetings at ua for thursday and rachel had class so i had perfect little pockets of time to catch up with friends and former co-workers while we were there! before everyone's day began though, we made sure we got the most important meal of the day covered with breakfast at the waysider. oh man...a little out of the way, but oh so good!
i got to catch up with all of my former co-workers at calvary which was really great. i always feel so welcomed there and it holds such a special place in my heart for so many reasons...jobs in college and grad school, our college ministry, meeting lee by working for ben, our wedding, and our awesome ss class after we got married. speaking of that class, some of our dearest friends just recently welcomed 2 new additions while other friends just recently moved back to tuscaloosa, and i got to see 3/4 of those friends as well as the twins.
we finished off our whirlwind stay in tuscaloosa with gigi's cupcakes. now, these are no crave cupcakes but they certainly were not too shabby either....and more than enough icing!friday, we met the extended fam for lunch and shopping. luckily we had our own little corner in the restaurant so we had plenty of space for this little photo-op.
also, many thanks to my sister, grandmother, and great-aunt for the goodies for brendan! :)
looks as though a swell time was had by all!!! and those are 2 totally cute twins!!!
