Jam-Packed Weekend O'Fun

R and I had such a fun, full weekend. It really was a blast to spend time with friends and family and to just enjoy things around Greenville.

Friday night, we met some friends at an awesome joint called Brown Street Club. We started out with 8, but by the end of the night our crew expanded to 12!! We got drinks on the house because of Elaine and David having connections. We had a great dinner and fun time listening to the jazz being played. We laughed, moved to the music and had some good conversation. Ryan and I were the old people who left first :( We felt bad about it but we were just super tired. The rest of the group went clubbing and stayed out until 2 am!!! Here are some pictures of the occasion:

Nathan and Ryan thought this was a "good" look....not too sure about that...

The Reese men and women

Saturday, we went to breakfast and to the farmer's market downtown with Matt, Britt, Cory and Ashley. We discovered a great little nook of a breakfast place we hadn't been to, Sobys on the Side. It was great and INEXPENSIVE, which is a good find these days.

After breakfast, Ryan, Cory, Scout and I went hiking at a great trail near Saluda called Little Bradley Falls. We hiked to a waterfall and it was beautiful. Scout had a BLAST!!! He was running all over the place and jumping in every last pool of water he could find...good thing there were not a ton of people out that afternoon so he could just run wild. Only bad part was that I had to share the backseat with my hairy and dirty lab. But, he laid his head on my lap for most of the ride home which was super sweet. Another bad part was when we thought we heard a bear on the trail and Cory basically pulled a limb off a tree getting ready to fight it. But, we did not see one.....PTL!!


Saturday night, we headed to Anderson to see Brooks and Lindsay. We went out to eat at a cute little spot in downtown Anderson called SummaJoes. We hadn't spent time with them since they got married, so it was fun to see them.

Sunday, we had to run a whopping NINE miles before church. Surprisingly, we had perfect weather and the run was not that bad. Almost enjoyable even! Then, we went to church.

Sunday night, we went to the last showing of West Side Story at the Peace Center. Very tragic story, which I had no idea of before we went, but the music was beautiful and we felt very cultured after the experience.


Such a great, great weekend full of laughs, good times, adventure and culture!!!!

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...
