the BIG 3-0!!

Happy Belated Birthday Adam!!

My oldest brother, Adam, celebrated his birthday on Saturday and turned 30!! He is an amazing older brother. As you know, I believe I have the best siblings in the world. We are very close, which can be intimidating (I'm told) to outsiders. Sorry to those who have spent any lengthy amount of time with the four of us. Anyways, back to Adam...

Adam is someone I look to for guidance and wisdom in so many areas of life. He has a deep and strong relationship with our Lord, which I admire. He can talk to anyone and make them feel special. He loves with all he has and is devoted to serving others. Some of my favorite memories include the two summers I worked for him. He was serving as a Youth Minister in San Antonio, and I was his intern. I loved watching him with the kids, the parents, and the whole congregation. He is very passionate, and I witnessed his love for his work being poured into those kids. He has always looked out for me and been my by side. Thanks Adam for your support, encouragement, kind spirit, and faithful heart. I love you and can't wait to see you in March!!

Weekend Report

Craig is in Nashville this month on a rotation, which leaves me in Memphis all alone. Well, this week, Tucker Bear is staying with me, so he will keep me company. Craig, his parents, and Tucker came to visit over the weekend. I joked with Craig that the weekend was all about him, because we ate at his favorite places and did what he wanted to do. Friday night we ate BBQ at Rendezvous followed by cupcakes at Muddy's (my one request of the weekend). Saturday we went to Gus's for lunch and then to the Civil Rights Museum. Craig and I have a list of things to do before we leave Memphis, and the Museum was at the top of the list. It is a great museum! Saturday night we had dinner at the Capriccio Grill before seeing "Jersey Boys" at the Orpheum. The Orpheum is beautiful, and I'm so glad we went. I loved the music in "Jersey Boys." Craig and his parents left on Sunday leaving me and Tucker Bear alone. We had a great weekend with Craig's parents and enjoyed some of our favorite places in Memphis.
