Looooook who came for a visit!!
What a treat it was to have the Weirs come see us! They spoiled us and provided more than we could have imagined. I seriously am so blessed to have not only wonderful parents myself but also incredible in-laws. I honestly feel close enough to think of them as more than in-laws. Ben was so looking forward to this weekend for a long time. It was precious to see Ben's friendship with his dad again. They have definitely missed each other. The weekend was filled with lots of great conversation, corny jokes, football, sleeping, adventures, informative knowledge on the quartering of a deer, coffee drinking, and loving on Buck.
Friday night we went to Angus Barn - Raleigh's top rated steakhouse. Such a unique atmosphere and good food!
Time with the Weirs is not complete without capturing this guy doing his normal thing...
Like father like son
Saturday, we all watched Ben play flag football at the seminary (spouse's can play!) and then continued watching football well into the night. Mrs. Dottie said it felt like de ja vu watching Ben play sports on a Saturday morning again.
One of the reasons the Weirs decided to come on this weekend was to attend Church at the Ballpark. The church Ben and I are joining soon is The Summit. The church meets in several different locations. We all listen to the same message from the same pastor, J.D. Greear (he's awesome!!!). This past Sunday, though, all of the campuses met in one place - the Durham Bulls stadium. 11,500 people attended and 530 people were baptized! It was incredible to witness. Such an outpouring of God's Spirit to draw His people to Himself.
After church, we had a little fun in Durham.
Trip to Duke Gardens
and to Locopops! Local place with homemade popsicles!
We finished the weekend with a trip to our favorite restaurant, Cowfish. They have incredible burgers and incredible sushi. The Brashers and the Hellams enjoyed it for the first time!
We are missing the Weirs already!! Praising the Lord for their love for Him, for us, and for our friends.
