During our fall break from school, Evan and Paul stayed home while Ella and I traveled to South Dakota to visit my sister Lisa and her new baby Jaden. Ella and I stayed with Lisa for a few days so we could catch up and love on Jaden. While in South Dakota, we (Lisa and I) took a boat ride with our Aunt Charlotte, Uncle Elmer, Cousins Rhonda and Sean to spread our dad's ashes into the Big Stone Lake. It has been eight years since dad passed away and it was time to follow through on what he had asked us to do. It was the closure that was necessary.....we miss you dad!! Prior to flying back to Atlanta, we spent an evening with Dawn, Larry and kids....so fun!!
On September 29th, I surprised Paul by renewing our vows at the church on our 20th wedding anniversary. It was very simple renewal with kids and Pastor Paul. Happy 20th honey!!
See you in November.....
