The past week has been a crazy, but fun spring break-esc blur. I started it off with a sleepover since Nathan was in DC, then Mom stayed with me while she was in town, then Kalin & Bert stayed for the week while Bert searched for jobs in the Charleston area, then Nathan came home thursday, then Rob flew in for the Bridge run, & Dad came down for the weekend. How do all these people fit into a one bedroom apt you ask? Magic! Nah, just good timing & flexibility. I was so thankful to have all the company, esp while Nathan was out of town–it kept me good company! Good news–the new house has 3 bedrooms so hopefully no one will have to sleep on the sofa or floor anymore. I feel like I should add that Bert & Kalin are awesome house guests! They cook, clean, & take out the trash! I came home one day from class only to find that the cleaning fairy had come to my apartment 🙂
The Cooper River Bridge Run was Saturday. Nathan, Rob (yes, Rob flew in from Boulder to run 10K), & I ran the bridge run sporting some super snazzy team Rx shirts–complements of SC College of Pharmacy.

So we weren’t quite as chipper afterwards, but still smiles all around.
Still didn’t make my goal of running it under an hour, but there’s always next year! Thanks again to Kalin & Bert for being our transportation to MP & back!!
Nathan & I had been waiting to go to the Firefly distillery on Wadmalaw Island until Dad was in town, so we took the opportunity Saturday. Definitely a neat place. They let you sample vodkas/rums they don’t sell anywhere else. The Firefly lemonade is quite tasty! If sweet tea flavored vodka isn’t your thing, they also have a vineyard out there. I think they only make muscadine wines (on the sweeter side). AND, there’s a zoo of farm animals! It’s a great afternoon outing for your next trip to Charleston 🙂 …..just be aware there may be a group of women praying for you in the parking lot as you walk up.
Kit,
I can’t say thank you enough for the gift you and Nathan gave us! I had been stressing and stressing about how we were going to come up with the extra money we needed in order to get current with our agency fees. I finally decided to let God take care of it, and literally an hour later Ryan called and told me what ya’ll had done. It was the exact amount we needed to send in our check. Thank you, from the depths of my heart! You have no idea how much it means to us to know that we have ya’lls support and prayers.
Anna, that just made me cry! God is so awesome! We’re praying for ya’ll.

We’re making tshirts for our adoption and we wanted to give you and Nathan shirts as a very tiny way of saying thanks for everything. We’re having both yellow and charcoal grey shirts made. What colors/sizes do you guys want?
That firefly lemonade IS tasty. We took a bottle home last time we were out there..
