We had a great Memorial Day weekend...hope you did too! My in-laws live on the lake, so we spent the majority of our time being lazy @ their house. I'm always so thankful for long weekends...it was so relaxing and a much needed break from the busyness of life.
Saturday night, we celebrated Phillip's graduation from Southeastern Seminary, with a really nice dinner @ a restaurant in downtown Knoxville called Chesapeake's. He just finished his Masters and is now working on beginning his doctorate. We had a really great time and are so proud of Phillip for all of his hard work! Dr. Johnny Hunt is Phillip's FAVORITE preacher, so for his gift, Joshua and I asked Dr. Hunt to write Phillip a letter of congratulations and then had it framed. He LOVED it and his favorite part was that Dr. Hunt invited him to come to Atlanta & have lunch with him to celebrate his graduation. I think we won the prize for best gift. ;)
TOTALLY SURPRISED!!

Happy after a yummy dinner!
Happy after a yummy dinner!Sunday we went to church and then spent the rest of the day @ my in-laws. The weather was gorgeous so the boys decided to go golfing and me, Mandy, Sally and the kids sat by the lake and enjoyed the day! That night, after the guys got back, we ordered some pizzas and sat outside by the lake and talked till almost 11 PM. It was so nice not having anywhere to be or anything to do!
Monday morning we were up bright & early and at Joshua's parents again for a YUMMY Southern breakfast for the entire family. Our friends from church, Jennifer & David, and their sweet little boy, Eli, joined us as well. We ate way too much and had the best time playing on the lake. Here are some pictures of our fun day. Happy Memorial Day!!!

Joshua's Uncle Mark is a hoot & always has something up his sleeve!!! Monday, he pulled up with this sign on his boat...certainly got a laugh out of all of us. :)
