A Week in Arkansas

We had an amazing time in Arkansas last week! It was so fun to visit with family, friends, and coworkers. Here are some of the highlights:
  • We ate at all of our favorite restaurants: Acambaro, Feltner's, Tiny Tim's, Monte Ne Inn, Whole Hog, and Mellow Mushroom. Yum... Of course, Monte Ne was my favorite. It always tastes the same- delish! I haven't asked Adam, but I'm guessing he would say his fave was Tiny Tim's. We went there twice! 
  • We went to see The Avengers with our bffs. Hanging with our friends was especially sweet. I think we create new inside jokes every time we are together. (Jumanji house #scariestnightever)
  • We met baby Ethan! He was precious and perfect. I learned how helpful the bathroom air vent can be when trying to quiet him, too. :)
  • I went to my old BSF class in Fayetteville! It was a special night because Big A (Austin) rode with me and we went to get some chick-fil-a before hand. Seeing all of my faithful sisters in Christ warmed my heart! And Julia's lectures are one of a kind.
  • We had fun with both the families and all the nephews and niece. It was particularly nice to be home for mother's day weekend (even though we had to fly out really early on Sunday morning).
  • We booked our flights to Europe for our Olympics trip this summer! It is shameful that we waited this long to do it, but things have been a bit crazy. We have half of our hotels booked, too. More on that itinerary to come later...
  • We went to one of Austin's t-ball games. It was too, cute. He is a pretty shy kid, but once he got on base, he would do a happy dance that was so out of character for him! Loved it!
We had some concerns about what we would find at home. The cats were on their own for almost 10 days. Thankfully, nothing was destroyed and they were both happy & healthy. We also had these two canvas prints waiting for us on the porch! I'm proud to say that Adam was the photographer for both! :)

  1. You guys really packed a lot of adventure into that trip! We had an awesome time hanging out. If you guys can just plan on those types of trips every month or 2, that would be great. Cool?

    Those photos/canvas prints are amazing! Seriously impressed.

    And I'm so relieved to hear that the cats are all good. I guess that's one better thing about cats over dogs. Mason would have eaten every bite of food the first day.

    Stephanie says thanks for being smart to not enter the Jumanji house with her.
