I will just have to fix my thoughts on the moonlight : March 2008

Whew! What a week this has been! A busy, but absoultely wonderful week all the same! On Thursday through Friday the Serven family were at our house, and we enjoyed sweet, edifying fellowship with them! Much laughing, feasting, chatting, singing and walking ensued. What a blessing it was to have them over! Come again, Servens! :-)

Then on Saturday, the much anticipated Liberty Day conference/celebration took place!! We counted and 69 people from our community/Church came (Jared rode with us), which was pretty exciting!! Costumes were finished in time and everyone looked amazing! The speaker for this year, Mr. Marshall Foster, was an incredible historian/speaker! How fascinating it was to hear and be reminded of God's amazing sovereignty throughout history! There was also dancing, poetry, a skit, cookies (got to have those!), singing, and much, much more!

All in all, pictures seem to speak louder than words at times, so here you are...an entirely too long post of photos...but oh well. :-) Enjoy! Oh, and BE SURE TO ATTEND NEXT YEAR!

P.S. More photos of Liberty Day can be seen HERE and HERE.

The Fiddler's Three were INCREDIBLE musicians! We had a ton of fun clapping to the beat of the jigs! What larks! :-)

In between talks we...talked. :-)

They look so...interested!! :-D lol.

Well, Jared does anyway. :-D
(Okay, so he kept trying to convince me to try this barbecue Tabasco sauce. So I finally did. It was good, but nothing I'd recommend. LOL!)

My date for dinner...at Chipotle! :-)

Mr. and Mrs. Candler and Tiffany! (Isn't his uniform stunning?)

Mr. Marshall Foster lecturing!

Josiah E. and Caleb perform their poem. Y'all did an amazing job, guys!! :-)

If you look closely at this picture you can see that Grace and I both have some ridiculous shoes on! ;-D

Don't they look so out of place amongst those modern coats? I think they look smashing in their 1700's garb! :-)

Grace and I pose for a quick photo in our white dresses!

Father and Son. Don't they look amazing?

Mr. Candler wore his full Coast Guard uniform...sword and all! We all agreed that he looked positively dashing!! Go deacon Candler! :-D
