Girls Weekend!!!!

My friends Julie Layman and Shauna Tabor came to see me this past Thursday and stayed thru Sunday. We had a blast! We shopped, ate (a lot), went to the movies, shopped some more, exercised (although they protested....j/k) and even got to worship together on Sunday morning at church. What a blessing it is to have them in my life. They are 2 of the most amazing women I've ever met. They are compassionate, sincere, funny, and full of life! We made memories we'll cherish for a lifetime. The following pics were a few they took while here.

This was at the White & Black store

This pic is for Ben.....Hope bought and is wearing this shirt in his honor...thinking of him...(He plays the guitar and loves music....These are his 3 favorite things Guitar, Music & Hope. :)

She's a little skinny scrappy thing! lol!

She knows he's stronger but she's like a little nipping Chihuahua that won't stop! lol!
Still not winning!

And this is how easy it is for him to throw her over his shoulder! lol! I'm sure this won't be the end of it though!

CAMP!

Hope attended the Airforce Leadership Training School at Catawba University. It was a very challenging week which included starting each day at 4:00a.m. for a mile run, sit-ups and push-ups! Then they had breakfast more training, physical and academic and then lunch...more training, etc. She did 131 sit ups in 5 minutes and ran the mile in 6mins 42 sec. She was very aggressive and completed each obstacle course, did free fall repelling and competed on drills. We worried all week about her but after seeing her all worries were put to rest especially when she said "I want to go back next year!" We are so proud of her determination and driven spirit to be her best!
