Alden and I just spent a wonderful weekend away in Asheville, North Carolina. The drive up and back was just spectacular ~ think about it......fall colors (red, orange, yellow, and green) in mid November in the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Just beautiful! It was fun being in three states over the weekend! :)
Alden and I love car time...........to relax, talk, listen to music and simply enjoy the scenery.
We went to a wedding of special family friends. Congratulations Kyle and Jenn! The wedding was beautiful and the time with friends was great. The ceremony was at Montreat (where Billy Graham lives) and what a gorgeous place it was. The ceremony was in a beautiful chapel on the college grounds with high ceilings, stone and dark wood, a huge pipe organ that took up the whole back of the chapel.....at 6:30 in the evening with candlelight. The ceremony was beautiful.....focused on the union of Kyle and Jenn before their Lord. The music was beautiful.........hymns sung and special music that the couple selected. The reception was fun with a live band and wonderful people..............the couple leaving through an archway of sparklers!
To complete our trip we stopped in Richmond on our way home to have dinner with our niece, Heather. What a fun time we had with her. :)

Happy Thanksgiving to all you dear family and friends.
