:weekend getaway:

We were so blessed to be able to get a way last weekend! We went with the Herringtons and Dagers who are also going with us to plant Mercy Hill. We have been so blessed by these two families. We love them dearly! Andrew and I left Thursday early evening and headed to Greensboro and were able to stay  the night in our new house there! We walked some of the trails and walked to dinner at the Mexican place at the end of our street. It was such a fun night. Then Friday morning we headed up to the mountains to meet the Herringtons. The Dagers joined us all late Friday night. It was such a good time to be away from the busyness of life. I missed the kids SOOO much, but really enjoyed the time with Andrew! We did a lot of good eating and relaxing. The guys got up on Sunday morning and cooked us a delicious breakfast before we left. We left and dropped the guys at the bottom of Cold Mountain for them to embark on their 13 mile hike. The plan was to hike/camp for 3 days, but due to the terribly cold and rainy weather they beasted it and hiked all 13 miles in 7 hours!!!!!! They were soaking wet, cold, and exhausted when they finally arrived home.
