A Weekend With Family

Last weekend I traveled down to the Charlotte area with my sisters to visit our family. It was nice to be able to have my sisters join me. It was the first time they had been down there in two years! My Aunt and Uncle live in Waxhaw, a town south of Charlotte. My cousin Christy lives close by with her husband Scott and their three kids, Eli, Lilly, and Zach. My cousin Jen came down to visit with her husband Shawn and their three children, Caleb, Josh, and Lauren. It was a great opportunity to have so many family members together. I wish the rest of the family could have joined us. God blessed us with beautiful weather throughout the weekend and we took full advantage! My uncle coaches the Charlotte Eagles soccer team and we went to go see their first game on Saturday. My buddy Justin came to the game as well. It was great to catch up with him and discuss his wedding plans for September. Everyone is getting married!

After the game we all had pizza together at Christy's house and played some soccer. I then had the chance to catch up with my friend Amanda while my sisters took the time to catch up with Christy about wedding plans. On Sunday we went to my cousin's church, The Gathering. Pastor Derwin brought a great message from James 1. Afterward we had lunch and on our way back to Radford we were able to stop by to see the Appleton's. Mark and Leah Appleton were the associate directors at the Virginia Tech BCM for three years and were a big influence on me. It is always great to see them.Their daughter Abigail is getting so big and is talking up a storm! I had a wonderful weekend and cannot wait to get back down there to see everyone again!
