Carolina Fun

This weekend we made a trip to North and South Carolina. Jennie, my future sister-in-law and I have been wanting to get together since we live so close (well not too far) from each other. So we finally found a weekend that would work with her intense school schedule.. she is studying to be a Physician's Assistant. So we made plans to meet up with Jennie in Morganton, North Carolina at Foothills cornmaze. It was so much fun and true to southern fashion it was designed as Noah's Ark with a cross, rainbow, sunshine (the works), it even had Faith spelled out in it. It was fun! Dustin especially loved splitting up so he could cut through the corn and scare us. While we were there we decided to take the hayride that stopped at the pumpkin patch but we only let the boys pick out a small pumpkin because the regular size ones were 6-8 dollars... which is, no offense to the farmers, a RIP OFF. We are going to get our carving pumpkins here in TN. Anyways.. we had tons of fun getting to know "Aunt" Jennie a little better and hope to do something fun with her again soon.
Towards the end of the week Dustin got an email from one of his fave mission companions and Best buddies saying he was going to be visiting his mom in Colombia, South Carolina so he was hoping that we could meet up somewhere. Well since we were already in the neighborhood we decided to drive down and see him, so after saying farewell to Jennie we made the 2-2 1/2 hour drive down to Colombia. We had fun meeting Derek's wife Jackie and reminiscing about the mission. We wished we could have spent more time with the Scheer's but we had to return home. Although our trip was short and sweet..WE HAD A BLAST! The drive there and back were BEAUTIFUL.. and the trip was so fun!
