Making More Memories

As many of you know, my departure date has been pushed back.  Due to several visa issues, I wasn't able to leave on the 15th as I had hoped.  However, God's given me extra time to spend with friends and family!  I see this as a great blessing, and I am trying to enjoy each moment.  I wanted to share some of my favorite highlights of this extra time with y'all :)

My sister, Amanda, and I at a friend's beautiful wedding!

View from Howard's Knob, one of my favorite places

 in my favorite city, Boone, NC!

One of the many fun babysitting nights for these cuties.  

Mercy and Imogen love playing chase!

Mercy (left) started her first class, kind of like school!

She was obviously the best dressed. Imogen had to match, too :)

I got to fly to San Diego for a short trip with my best 

friend since high school, Katie.  It was AMAZING! 

Katie and I also went to Beaufort, SC for a last

 hoorah/girl's trip before I leave.  I'm going

to miss this sister so much!!!

Flying over San Diego - next time I'm on a plane,

it'll be England bound! Yayy!!

We love taking pictures together :)  Of course Imogen

is doing something weird...

My beautiful mom and my Nana!  I was able to go to 

a family reunion thanks to my delayed departure.  

It was so great seeing and meeting so much of my family!

This girl....I love silly faces and early morning 

snuggles! Even if she wants to steal 

Chubby Wubby :/

All the girls (minus Imogen) during a 

'glamping' trip to Boone, NC!

As much as I love making all these 'bonus' memories, I can't wait to get to England.  Please continue praying for a positive visa decision, and that I hear back SOON (like this week/early next week...).
