Fourth of July at our Alma Mater

Turkey Wraps from Amsterdams. That was the one thing on my mind when the plans were finalized to spend the 4th of July in Auburn. I could not wait to get my hands on those tasty wraps of goodness drenched in honey mustard =) Doesn’t take much to make this girl a happy little camper! The weekend was kicked off by celebrating the marriage of Kendall’s uncle at Children’s Harbor on Lake Martin. We enjoyed seeing Kendall’s side of the family again, partaking in a delicious sit down lunch of crab cakes and filet mignon (just like my everyday lunch), and catching up with cousins! After leaving the wedding, we drove to Auburn and met the rest of the Currie’s for a two nights stay at the Marriott’s RTJ Grand National. It wasn’t the fabulous company and great food that Kendall enjoyed most, although that was great, it was the whole night of sleep his parents graciously gave him both nights. The freedom he said he felt when falling asleep those nights knowing he could sleep for 8 hours straight was unfathomable! There is not much that could serve that boy more than to offer him sleep these days =) For those of you that know Kendall, you can appreciate the fact that it takes an act of God to wake him up usually but now that the baby girls are here, he has stepped up to the plate and is able to “semi” function as a helper for the middle of the night feedings. Key word being semi! We thoroughly enjoyed spending a relaxing weekend where more memories than we can count were made in college. We dined on some yummy food at Amsterdam’s and Mellow Mushroom, attended the God and Country service at Lakeview Baptist on Sunday along with a round of golf for the hubby. Then we had a blast taking the girls on a walk on Samford lawn on the fourth of July and snapping a few pictures in their patriotic dresses. We wrapped up the 4th with a good ole southern meal from Cracker Barrell and this nursing mom left nothing but the jelly containers on her plate. Licked my plate clean as my husband once again was astounded at the portions I can consume these days. It was a memorable weekend and a fabulous fourth! We thank God for the freedom to worship HIM freely and for the men and women who have helped fight for that to be a reality.
