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...

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!!!!

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...

Miracle!!

Ryan and I are so so thankful and excited to make the announcement that we are having a baby! Right now, I have just finished up the first trimester. The baby is almost 15 weeks old. We actually get to find out the gender in a couple of weeks, which is so exciting! It has been such a wonderful time. The Lord has truly blessed us with this miracle. Through this process, the thing that I have been thinking the most of in my heart is that the Lord is good. I don't know why this truth is sometimes hard for me to soak in. Life is hard and trials happen- this is so true and the trials do not make God any less good. However, sometimes, the Lord just gives to His children. I find it so crazy that I am resistant to believe this at times, but I always look at the toughest or hardest outcome in a situation and assume that it will happen. However, through this, I have been reminded that although the Lord allows hard things to happen at times to shape and define us, He does good things a...

Praises!!!!

I found out this morning that I passed the board exam! I am beyond thankful for this blessing. All the time I was studying I was in a cloud of doubt...wondering if the PA profession was right for me, what would I do if I failed, how was I ever going to get through it? But, this process brought me to my knees in new ways. I prayed each day for His strength to bring His work to completion. This was the verse that I would repeat throughout the days of studying and it is so special to me: "You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great." -Psalm 18:35 The Lord answers prayer. This small prayer about helping give me success with the boards to bigger prayers about salvation for our loved ones and healing for those who are sick. We serve a God who hears us....HOW AMAZING!! He stoops down to uphold us in His right hand. Trust in Him today, friends. He IS surely big enough for anything you can lay at His feet. He hears you an...
