It always seems like warmer weather brings a BUSY season for the Pope family. We’ve had a busy past few weeks/weekends and unfortunately NO pics to show for it :( We enjoyed having my parents visit the past two weekends. No, they usually don’t visit two weekends in a row and were hesitant to come again the 2nd weekend in fear of “intruding”, but we assured them they weren’t invading our space :) I don't have the luxury of seeing them all the time and I'm thankful when they can make the drive over.
Two weekends ago Mom & Dad came over for a Friday/Saturday visit. Their purpose was two fold- of course to see their favorite daughter and son-in-law (and only-ha), but also to cheer on AU against State in baseball. Unfortunately State totally EMBARRASSED Auburn, but the weather was nice and we got to eat at Mugshots....can’t beat that!! Our generous neighbors gave us their tickets as well and they were great seats!!! Thank you Tyler family!!! Although we lost, we had a great time and visit!!
This past weekend was the beginning of my Mom’s spring break. Since the forecast for Saturday was BEAUTIFUL…They decided to drive over that morning for a weekend of bike riding. We enjoyed riding to Holly Hill and back. My parents loved the Trace and can’t wait to come back again and ride. We had planned to ride on Sunday, but were afraid of the forecasted rain. So instead we went to church and ate brunch at Julep in Jackson, which was a “HIT” w/ everyone!! They have a busy next few weeks/months ahead w/ mom finishing the school year and their ALASKAN CRUISE 1st of June, but we hope they can come back again soon!
In addition to their visits we’ve stayed very busy w/ various activities…
~Still keeping up w/ our running and looking forward to a 5K in Memphis tomorrow
~Trying to get back into tennis. I discovered my friend JJ is pretty darn good and we’re hoping to recruit some other girls to start playing.
~TH night bible study is back in full swing. We’re enjoying reading Forgotten God by Francis Chan (same author of the popular book, Crazy Love)
~Had a great time celebrating our friend, JJ’s 30th b-day, w/ a great dinner w/ some sweet friends
~Completed our volunteer training for Make-A-Wish and ready to start making wishes!!
~Jason had a busy week in Texas for work the last week of March. Glad to have him back :)
So as you can see SPRING HAS SPRUNG and has been full of activity!! We’re looking forward to more biking, continued running, upcoming weddings, weekends with friends, getting back into tennis, visits home, Jason’s 33rd b-day coming up soon and much more!!! HAPPY SPRING :)
