Weekend in Jonesboro

We spent yesterday and today visiting several friends in Jonesboro. Yesterday afternoon was spent at the home of Michael and Ashleigh Givens, friends from college. We got to meet their adorable son John Mark, who Shelby nicknamed Johnny Mark all by herself. Travis and Annie Smith, more friends from college who now live in Georgia, were there as well. The adults visited and watched Shelby and John Mark play.

We spent the night with Ray and Meta Winters. Channing got to know Ray, Meta, and their children while interning at Southwest church of Christ back in college. Shelby loved their dog so much! She asked where Harley was as soon as she woke up this morning.

At church this morning we were able to visit with other people whom Channing go to know the summer he interned there. It is always so special for me to meet and visit people that he often talks of, people who are so special to him! It is a shame that we haven't been there for a visit in so long. We have to head up that way more often!

Everyone at Southwest thinks Shelby looks just like her daddy. I got a kick out of hearing Mary Jane Fagala, who attended my parents' church in Memphis when I was little, tell everybody that Shelby looked just like I did at that age. I think it's funny how often I hear people say she looks like me and then people say she looks just like her daddy. We just think she's the perfect mix of the two of us!
