Great Weekend!

Saturday's weather could not have been more perfect! 
 
Lou and I decided to go on a hike at Long Hunter State Park. 
It was a 4 mile day loop hike and I was excited because I knew I would be able to complete it! 
(My dad and I have been walking almost every morning since the first of July,
and we walk over 3 miles, so 4 miles would be a piece of cake!) 
It was great, but I was tired - I am used to walking on concrete and flat land and the trail was up and down, gravel and dirt, rocks and climbing through brush to avoid wasps!  We had a good time and were able to stop by the lake a few times and enjoy the breeze.  Here is a pic of us, Lou looks like he is just having a fabulous time, and I just look overly happy, but we both said we had a good time and have planned to go to another park next weekend!

 
We left the park and went to eat hot wings and fries.  We hadn't been in a long time so it was good!  When we got back to my house I had to lay down.  My legs were a hurtin bad.  But it was definitely worth it.  Ready to go out next weekend!!
 
Today I went to the church I grew up in because it was on my heart to go.  Lou went with me, but I was sad because it just didn't feel the same.  I know it will never be the same, but I guess I was hoping it would be like it was even a few months ago.  People leave, new people come in, familiar faces were there, good music and message, just seemed like something was missing.  Lou and I have talked about finding a church for us, and we have been to a few different places, but nothing seemed to fit.  We were both raised as preacher's kids, but we are not stuck on one particular church.  I am praying that God will guide us where He wants us!
 
After church we went to lunch at a place my family and I used to go almost every Sunday for lunch and the people had changed, but the food was good! 
 
Took a trip to the Target and then a nap and then to dinner.  All in all the weekend was great!  I managed to not watch a bit of football! 
 
Now I am enjoying the Emmy's and the cool weather with my windows open!
I hope you had an amazing weekend and I feel so blessed!
