Weekend in Memphis

Since Jason and I weren't able to go to Memphis last week, we made plans to go this weekend. I had a dentist appt. in Aberdeen with Jana and Dr. Richardson. I hadn't been to the dentist in several years and was way past due. I have one cavity and have got to have a crown, which I figured. So anyone who wants to donate to the fund can stop by Bancorp South and deposit money in my account. Haha, JK! Thanks Jana for the great cleaning.

After the dentist me, Jason, Jana, and Michael headed for Memphis. We stayed at the Marriott downtown, which was a great hotel. We got checked in and headed to Beale Street and had supper at Blues City Cafe, which was great, then left there and went to Hard Rock to have dessert. It was raining and we were walking so it made for a quick trip. When I was younger, I thought Beale Street was great, but man was I mistaken. I guess if you lived the party life then its for you, but yuck it was nasty. The place is just a street of emptiness. People are trying to fill a void in their life with drinking and who knows what else, when that is not the answer. Anyways, we then went back to hotel for sleep.

Saturday morning we got up and had breakfast and headed to hospital to see Blythe. She was doing very well. She has been through so much and is still a trooper. She is suppose to be moved to Tupelo hospital on Tuesday for rehab. She is looking forward to coming home, but knows she has got to get well first. Thanks to Jana, Michael, and Jason for hanging out at the hospital for several hours while I was able to visit with Blythe. Please keep those prayers coming for her.
We then met up with Chris and Amy for a little shopping then had supper and headed home.
Thanks for a great weekend Jana and Michael, can't wait to plan another weekend getaway.

I want to wish Sarah Catherine a Happy Birthday this Tuesday. We are planning to go out and eat sushi to celebrate.
The kids are off for Spring Break so I am sure we will try to make plans to do something with the youth this week.
Hope everyone has a great week and God Bless.

No Pictures.....

....What kind of blogger am I. We had a great weekend and I forget to bring my camera, not one day, but two. So I will give a quick recap minus the pictures.

On Friday my long time best friend DeAnna came home for the weekend with her little girl Karsyn. Also Jeremy, Nina, and Bronner came home for the weekend. Friday night we all met up at the Roberts in Aberdeen and went to Town and Country and ate supper. We had a great time with everyone and Karsyn was just too cute eating up all kinds of food. Bronner just hung out, bless his heart, he didn't feel real well as he had shots early in the day. After supper we all went back to the Roberts' house and hung out and the girls caught up on things we have been missing out on.
On Saturday Jason and I went to Columbus High and watched Hamilton Jr. High and JV play ball. Jr. high lost, but JV won!! It was such a nice Saturday, I enjoyed being outside so much. Saturday afternoon we went to Jason's parents and met up with Jeremy, Nina, Bronner, Emily, and Jason's parents for an afternoon of grilling and eating steak and shrimp for supper. We tried planning a summer vacation, but it is hard trying to find a time that is good for everyone, might just end up going our own ways, we will just have to see.

Sunday we had a wonderful church service. The Lord is really blessing our church! Sunday night, Jason, myself, Drew, Sayonia, and Andlyn took most of the youth to Winter Jam in Tupelo. IT WAS AWESOME! We left after church and went to the mall for everyone to have lunch then arrived at the Bancorp South Arena for a several hour wait outside before the doors opened. Everyone who performed was great, but none compared to TobyMac and Diverse City, they rocked the house!!! The kids all had a great time.. Look to the youth blog in the upcoming days for some pics.
Jason and I are looking to going to Memphis this weekend. Jana and Michael are going with us.
Please continue to keep Blythe in your prayers, she has made much improvement, but still has a way to go.
DeAnna, I hope Karsyn gets to feeling better and you all stay well!

Hope God blesses each one who reads this the way he is in our lives!! GOD BLESS!

Terrible at Blogging

Hello to all...Sorry I am terrible at this posting thing, not much to write about anyways.
Jason has now started a blog for the youth group, check it out, www.hamiltonbaptistyouth.blogspot.com.

We had a snow day on Sunday which was great. We love snow, but never get it here. It was very short lived, but hey I can't complain.

I would like everyone to remember my cousin Blythe Dillard in your prayers. She was in a car accident 2 weeks ago and has been at the Regional Medical Center in Memphis in the Trauma Unit. She is doing well considering all she has been through. She has had multiple surgeries and still has one of two to go. She is 24 y/o and has a 3 y/o daughter and they both really need our prayers.

Our plans for the weekend were to originally to go to Memphis and see Blythe, but I think we have decided to wait and go next weekend. Hopefully she will have a better week next week and will feel up to company.
My good friend DeAnna is coming home this weekend, so maybe we can get together and catch up on things.

Hope everyone has had a great week and has a great and safe weekend. God Bless!!
