The Best October

Kirra and Taylor came to our humble abode in Stow, Ohio for 3 days. It was amazing and Drew and I couldn't have been more encouraged. What I appreciate about Kirra so much is she is such a great question-asker. She always wants to know how I'm doing with the Lord, in my marriage, etc. Drew appreciates Taylor's challenging conversations. We were so edified these
past 3 days and I am so thankful to the Lord for them. Drew and I are secretly praying that they would move into our den in our
apartment. :)

Here is what we did while they were here:

- We gave them tours of the area we live in now.
- They treated us to Texas Roadhouse for Drew's birthday.
- Drove to Handel's, the best ice-cream I know, and ate our hearts out. I think the best part about that was the ice-cream lady just kept staring at us to order and would never shut the window.
- Talking until late into the night with our pj's
- had a birthday lunch for Drew with his family
- rode their very 1st ride in "Black Cat" our affectionate name for our '91 Toyota Camry.
- waking up late every morning with the Sutton's sleeping in the next room
- Bartholomeu
- hiked a Hampton Hills and took the 3.2 miles route; which took us forever, but was such an incredible time to be with Kirra and hear her heart.
- tried to eat lunch at a picnic table but the bees kept buzzing around us
- ate lunch in "Black Cat" where there still managed to have flies and bees.
- I think everyone drank about 2-3 gallons of coffee in the 3 days: morning, noon, and night
- attempted to watch a movie but everyone managed to fall asleep before it was half-way over
- eating dinner at our table and talking for 2 hours
- praying before they left and then running out the door, testing the speed and agility of "Black Cat" to get Kirra and Taylor to Megabus on time.

And every second of that I absolutely loved.
We love you guys so much, Kirra and Taylor. This weekend was priceless.
