My Adventures on Our Girls Date in Quaint Rocky Mount

How happy I was to receive an email from my friend Amanda, asking if I would be available to spend a couple hours the next day with her while she was in town. (She lives a ways from our little town and makes a big trip when she comes.)

And with her son Levi spending the day with Grandpa, and little baby Opal with Grandma, we girls had a lovely girls date:)

I was glad to have Sadie take our picture since Amanda is always behind the camera;)

Rocky Mount is a quaint old town with lots of history behind it. We enjoyed looking at the old buildings.

And we stopped by a little shop in town called "The Daily Grind" and got some sandwiches and soup for lunch, Which were quite delicious!

And of course we stopped to get our picture on the unique benches outside the shop:)

And Amanda wanted one of me by myself on the bench:)

We walked around the historic court house too:) interesting fact- in the 11 years I've been living here- I had never walked around the court house in town!

Love these girls!

L. To R. Sadie, me and Ava:)

Amanda and I spent time talking and catching up in the library while the girls looked at books. And on the way home, we stopped to pick up Opal and spent a little more time talking and picking the old banjo.

It was a day that I will treasure for a long time to come.

Thank you for making time in your day to spend some time with me Amanda! It was a lovely day and I'm so blessed to have you for a friend! I always look forward to time spent with these girls too;)

When I get my car, I'm coming down to spend more time with y'all, Lord willing!

I haven't had such a splendid day in a long time!

Until next time,

Elise

Passing unnoticed

Sometimes it seems like life moves very slowly, and other times it seems that it moves very quickly. It seems that the opposite of what I want, happens. If I wish for it to move slowly, it moves quickly, and if I wish it would move quickly, it moves slowly. Nevertheless, the past 5 months have come and gone like a flash. I can hardly believe January is almost over. I realize that there may be very few people who read my blog; perhaps a lot of that has to do with how infrequently I write. ;) But I was thinking about what I might blog about and looking through pictures... I guess it is really the little things that make up a beautiful life. It's the little things everyday that make fond memories. I tend to be so task oriented that I forget to stop and notice the dew drops on the flower, the frost patterns on the window, the unique sunrise... the smiles which are flashed at me every day. And then- suddenly these precious times are gone. It's a new stage of life, the things w...

Florida Bound!

Hello, hello, hello! I know it's been so long since I have written, but if you read my previous posts, you'll know why I was too busy to post. Back in mid to end of April, I went to Florida with my sister Olivia and Mom, for two weeks. What a time we had. We made many good memories together and Olivia and I packed as many "firsts" in those two weeks as possible. A few of those firsts include, flying, fishing, parasailing and going through the airport by ourselves on the trip back since mom left after the first week. We had such a good time, and I am glad my sister made such an effort to make it happen. {thank you Olivia!!} I will include the best pictures I have and I hope you enjoy them:) A couple things I learned while down there are: One- just because you have three girls from the same family doing something together, doesn't mean they all agree on what is "fun". But despite we all had different opinions, we worked together to have a grand time:...

Why have I been so silent?

Okay, so you guys might be wondering why I haven't posted in a while- unless you follow me on social media;) But if you don't, I have been silent because I have been busy with... My brother Elijah and his new fiancé! He got engaged this past Sunday to Faith Grubb and we are all thrilled for him!! I will share a few pictures like normal. But you may be wondering how they met and where and such. I will provide you with a few details. He met her this past March (2015) at a get together he and my other brother attended. Over the spring and summer they got to know each other long distance and after praying about it, they felt the Lord leading them to marriage. Faith is from the big state Texas, and so it is a ways from where we live, but Elijah doesn't mind the drive to see her, and makes the trip when time allows. Hopefully we will get to see their family this fall and have some good fellowship time with them:) We look forward to seeing them, and helping Elijah and Faith as t...
