Seasons Change

Fall has officially arrived! The leaves have been changing and falling and Ethan and I have enjoyed the cooler/cold weather and pretty colors! We had our first frost last night and all of the locals keep telling me that winter is coming. I'm trying not to think about the freezing temperatures to come and just enjoy the crisp fall air! 

The change in seasons has reminded of Ecclesiastes 3:1
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven"

Mom's visit to Louisville!

My mom came for a visit last weekend and it was wonderful! Ethan and I loved every minute of it! She flew in on Thursday and Ethan picked her up from the airport while I was at work. Once I got off work I met up with them at our apartment and it was a sweet reunion! 3 months is a long time to go without seeing a family member in person! 

Here is a break down of her visit!

On Thursday night we went to dinner and then walked around the seminary for a bit.

On Friday morning we headed over the river to Southern Indiana to visit a old confectionary called Shimffs. There was candy every where along with an old coke fountain and a deli! My best friend Kendall and her son Pax joined us and it was a fun morning! After that we headed back to get lunch at the Blue Dog Cafe. After lunch we went to the seminary for a while then mom and I did some shopping!

On Saturday we headed back over the river into Southern Indiana to go to Huber's farm! It was a blast! I have never seen anything like it! They have u-pick pumpkins, apples, a corn maze, tractor rides, family restaurant, and much more! We picked apples and then mom made a homemade apple pie! That evening we enjoyed dinner at our apartment and yummy apple pie!

On Sunday we took mom to church with us and then we out to lunch with our friends Jarrod and Sarah! After lunch mom and I did a little more shopping and then we enjoyed our last evening with a walk and dinner at our apartment!

Mom left early monday morning and I was extremely sad to see her go. However, our time together was so sweet and made both Ethan and I even more excited about going home for Christmas! Have a mentioned that we get to go home to Florida for a week?? We are thrilled!

I have uploaded a few pictures from mom's trip and you can find more on my Facebook page!

Friday Night Lights

On Friday night Ethan and I went to a high school football game that was in a college football stadium. We went with our friends Dan and Kim. Dan is from our home church and this is their final semester at seminary. They have been so sweet to us and we really enjoy spending time with them! The football game was pretty much a blowout by Trinity High school, but St.X did a decent job. It was extremely cold and windy, but it was neat to be in the UofL stadium with over 30,000 other football fans! We enjoyed the game and the fellowship!
