Weekend with Grannies


Some of my sweetest, funniest, greatest memories from college happened with my friends Sally, Holland and Becca. Our senior year, we lived in a very, very old and outdated house. The house was covered in carpet that was a puke-green color and we had lovely wallpaper in most of the rooms. Because of this house, we became known as "the grannies". Even though we are almost 4 years out of our college experience, we still refer to each other as "grans". 

We had a reunion this weekend because of a friend's wedding that was in the Atlanta-area. We all stayed with our friend, Sally and her husband Taylor, who live there. It was a wonderful and sweet weekend of laughter and fellowship. 

Sally is almost 5-months pregnant. She just found out she is having a little girl. We are thrilled for the Stanfills as they get to anticipate the birth of their sweet daughter. Here are some pics of cute pregnant Sally:



 Scout had to stay with Ryan's parents this weekend, but we got to play with Sally and Taylor's dog, Phelps. Isn't he handsome?


We got to Atlanta and hung out for a while. Then we got ready and headed to the wedding. The wedding was beautiful with a very fun reception afterwards.

After the wedding, we went back to the Stanfills where the greatest after-party ever went down! We decided to choreograph a dance to the hit song, "Dynamite". I am not sure how long we danced, but we made up moves to the entire song. It was great!





Then after all the exercise, we all decided to go to Waffle House. I was the annoying one who took my camera with me into the restaurant at 11 pm at night, but I got some pretty hilarious pictures that I love!








There is an incredible blessing in having great friends that you can laugh with, cry with, share with, pray with and just enjoy being with. The Grannies are truly that for me. It was such a wonderful time of being with one another.

I will leave you with this picture of my crazy man of a husband. When you get down this week, try and make a crazier face than this one!!

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...
