One of my FAVORITE parts of September definitely consisted of our SPECIAL visitors!
My mom, dad, and granny visited the 2nd weekend in September! We celebrated my parent's 33rd wedding anniversary with a big home-cooked meal together and lots of sight-seeing the next day!

Just a couple of weeks later, we could not have been more EXCITED to have Marie, Chris, and Jacob come stay with us! Chris has several clients in Tennessee which happens to be right over the mountain from our house. They came on a Monday and got to spend 3 nights with us. Basically, they got to live life with us for a few days and we had an absolute blast! Anyone and everyone that has heard my testimony will know without a doubt who Marie is :) She is a guardian angel the Lord sent me in college and someone I admire greatly to this day!
One of the most special parts of this week was simply getting to know Jacob and seeing what an incredible mom Marie is! Honestly, I'd have a half dozen kids if they were all like him. He is so happy, so sweet, so fun, and I could not get enough of him. We cuddled, laughed, kept him up late, and took a cazillion pictures haha! Not to mention, Marie is one of the most laid back mom's I have ever been around. (Lord, help me to be this way when Rance and I have children!)
On Tuesday after work - we road around and I was able to show them the ropes of Robbinsville!
 |
| Hmmmm who do you think Jacob looks like? |
 |
| Would it be selfish to pray for us to live closer Lord? By the way - this is one of Rance's favorite shirts of mine :) Wonder why? Thank you Kristy Coltrain! |
 |
| Could you not eat him up? |
On Wednesday, I took the day off to spend the entire day with Marie & Jacob.
 |
| Such a stud! |
 |
| This picture melts my heart! If only we lived closer I would be begging to babysit this lil munchkin all the time! |
 |
| Reading the history of Fontana Dam (ha!) He has the cutest legs and feet OMG! |
Wednesday afternoon we all went to the cross country meet! Rance was THRILLED that Marie, Chris, and Jacob got to share in this ministry with us! I cannot thank Marie enough for all her photographs of the race!
 |
| This is just a preview of the race (I'll be writing another blog about cross country)! Lil Frank is on the right in the picture above :) He's like a son to Rance and I! |
 |
| A-long & Lindy SO thankful for the way God allows me to bond with these girls! |
 |
| What a sexy coach! |
 |
| I had to end on this sweet face!!! |
What an incredibly special week! Rance and I are praying they stay with us more often since we are conveniently located next to TN! (HINT HINT)
We love you so much Marie, Chris & Jacob! Please come back, we miss you :(
