Years later, Amy and I are still friends (I was the crying one).
This last weekend we spent down in Kentucky visiting their family and it was fabulous!!! Richard really needed a break and we have been meaning to go see them since they moved a year ago and we moved to the Midwest 7 months ago!
Richard took a test (which he aced) Friday morning at 7:30am (after a late study night) and then we took off for the 8 hour drive.
The weekend was spent shopping and talking and laughing and BBQing and visiting! We went to Nashville on Saturday and the girls each picked a Build-a-Bear.

Little Emma and her cute bear in a pink skirt!
We went up to Owensboro to check out Nate's old stomping grounds. We saw his high school and old homes and we got to hang out with his wonderful parents!!! We sure love them! Then we all went to "Moonlight Bar-B-Q" and stuffed ourselves and loved every second of it! Real macaroni and cheese, amazing pork and ribs, mutton and so many kinds of pies, cobblers and ice cream!!! Totally amazing cuilinary experience!!!
We were lucky to go to church on Sunday and the Bishop Craig in action (great job!) and listen to Amy teach the Gospel Essential class. After church we headed up to Nate's office and got the grand tour! Look at him, all grown up and almost owning his own Law Practice! Not that we are surprised!!!

We had to finally say good-bye! It was so fun and sad at the same time! We sure love you guys and miss you already!!! Good friends will always be good friends!

It was a fabulous weekend and I can't wait until we can do it again!
Totally worth the 8 hr drive!!!
