Auburn Visit

A couple of weekends ago we traveled over to Auburn to spend time with some amazing people, cheer on the Tigers, and introduce Alder to Dr. Wayne Alderman. It was a wonderful time with truly amazing families. The Aldermans have three wonderfully reserved boys, Mary is a joy to be around, and as always, Wayne is just a great man. We stayed with them and it was great for the family to get to know Alder. Before the game we tailgated with several families that attend the church Jared and I went to when we were at Auburn. We got to see Dr. Doyle (one of the pastors that married us) and his lovely wife. The two of them seem not to age and only gain more joy as they get older. Alder loved the noise, the craziness that is game day, and I loved his borrowed outfit (thanks Amanda!). After church on Sunday, we ate dinner at the Godwins' house. Their kids have gotten so big and it was fun to go around and ask each one their favorite things about life right now. Very dynamic and engaging kids. We drove away feeling refreshed and reminded of so many key truths that can sometimes be so easy to forget. War Eagle!
