Jon's parents came to CIY at the end of week 1 here at Milligan. They took me back with them to Louisville for some R & R.
We didn't have a whole lot scheduled which was nice. My 8 year old niece, Kelsey, stayed the night with us Sunday night. I don't get to spend much time with her, especially one-on-one, so this was a special treat for both of us. We did the usual girl things, painting her nails and braiding her hair, and we watched Flicka before going to bed. The next morning we went up to the neighborhood pool and played for about and hour until it looked like it would storm. She had to go home after lunch so she could make it to her dance classes on time that evening.
Tuesday morning we got up and met some of my inlaws friends for a horse farm tour at the Undulata Saddlebred Farm. We ate at Claudia Sanders Dinner House (wife of Colonel Sanders, KFC). Best fried chicken I've eaten! Then we went to downtown Shelbyville, KY for some antique shopping in the historical downtown.
Wednesday we picked up Kelsey and her brother Jordan and took them to see some movies. Jordan & Kinney went to see "Surf's Up", and Meredith and I took Kelsey to see "Nancy Drew" which was adorable! We had dinner at their house, then said goodbye to them as they were heading to Atlanta to visit their cousins.
Thursday I went to the pool again and we pretty much relaxed all day.
Friday my friend Amber came down from Indy to visit me! We went to the Highlands area and ate, walked around and drank coffee. It was so much fun! She came back for dinner that night and we laughed and carried on until 9 or so. Thanks for visiting me, friend!
Saturday Meredith and I went to a Garden Party with some ladies from her church. I was definitely one of the youngest there, but I had the best time. We all had to follow the derby tradition and wear hats! I felt like a southern bell, and reconfirmed my belief that I was meant to live in the south! You can see me and my mother-in-law below:
Jon and Seth came Saturday night, surprising Jon's parents, and brought me home today.
I had such a nice time, and I will miss them dearly. But I'm excited to be back at Milligan for week 3 of Summer Conference here. The new team and the camp team reps all showed up this evening and the churches all show up tomorrow!

You are such an amazing girl!!
Sounds like you are keeping yourself busy with encouraging others.
Mother-in-laws are amazing, aren't they. Lorna has given me a whole new understanding to the story of Ruth. It is cool to me how God knows we need those friendships too, huh?
Next time you are up this way, give us a holler. We would love to meet you in KC and play at a park, or something!!
All our love to you!!
