Throwback Thursday!

Since I have a little spare time today between classes I've decided to do a Throwback Thursday. I have realized there is a HUGE gap in my blog from like Spring Break until just recently when I got back to blogging. So in order to fill in the gap I think I'll write some posts about the big things that happened from March til September. Cause there were some pretty fun and exciting things that happened. So I'll start back in April.

In this post I talked about the possibility of my sister coming to spend her two week spring break with me here in the States. Well SHE DID! And it was such a sweet time. We spent three out of the three weekends she was in the States in Atlanta. And since Atlanta is basically one of my favorite places in the world and I was with one of my favorite people in the world, it was fabulous. 

The first weekend (March 31) I got up super early on Saturday and drove to Atlanta to pick Stephanie up at the airport. We got to have lunch with Rachel, Mrs. O'Meara, Nathan and Hye Zhin before we headed home to Savannah. 

That week we just hung out around Savannah. I skipped class one day to have a beach day!

Thursday night, we drove up to Atlanta to spend Easter weekend with the O'Meara's. 

We spent Good Friday at Passion City's Good Friday service. It was such a wonderful worship experience. The Passion band (Chris Tomlin, Kristian Stanfell, Christy Nockels, and David Crowder) and Louie Giglio did such an amazing job of leading 20,000 people in worshiping the RISEN KING!

The next day we spent shopping, trying on hats, getting ears pierced and catching up with Rachel! We have too much fun together...

Easter Sunday we went back to the Verizon Amphitheater with Rachel and Nathan to celebrate the resurrection of our Jesus with the Passion City crew. It was just as overwhelming as Good Friday. Such an awesome time of worship! 

After a lovely afternoon with friends, we headed back to Savannah for the rest of the week, only to return to Atlanta for another fun/friend filled weekend! 

I was able to switch my days at work so we left for the weekend a little bit early and went to visit Bethany in Pine Mountain on our way to Atlanta. We spent the afternoon with Bethany in Columbus and convinced her to come stay with us Friday night in Atlanta! 

Friday night was opening night of was opening weekend at Turner Field! So Hye Zhin, Nathan, Patrick, Stephanie and I all piled in Nathan's car to go to the game.

AND the Civil Wars were there for a pre and post game show. They are basically just as AH-MAZING live as they are on their cd. 

After an fantastic season opener, we made the trek back to the car. As we were driving out of the parking lot, we hit a bump that made the muffler fall down. The parking lot we were in was sketchy to say the least...so we found a better lit one to wait in while we figured out what to do. Bethany our knight (or knightess) in shining armor came to the rescue! She decided to come and stay the night with Stephanie and I, so she navigated the streets of downtown Atlanta to find and rescue us all.

The next day we took Stephanie to the airport and said goodbye after fantastic two weeks!

I ended up making a whole weekend of it and went home with Bethany to Pine Mountain for the night. I got to meet all her Impact friends and then come back to Atlanta for another Braves game on Sunday! and THEY WON AGAIN! :) 

All in all it was a sweet two weeks with my sister, who is one of my very best friends! I love her so very much and am so thankful to God for what he has given me in her! <3
