Despite the fact that we no longer have any family close enough for a weekend trip, Cami and I were committed to spending our holiday weekend with loved ones. As a result we drove to Hereford, AZ. We had the wonderful privilege of spending the holiday with some very dear friends - Hannah and Jason Whaley (some of my closest friends from college).
We spent the weekend eating TONS of absolutely delicious food! Spent the evenings playing intense rounds Nerts and Settlers of Catan.
Drove around the little town they now call home and visited the military base Jason works at. In addition to that, we went on a beautiful hike in the mountains nearby. At the top you look over one side and see Arizona and the other side is Mexico. It was all so beautiful.
It was a really windy day, but the wind ceased while we were on the top, so we actually got to enjoy the view for a while.
What is even more amazing, by the time we got back to the Whaley's a storm started to roll in. We got the hike in just before the mountains received a crest of snow.
The whole weekend was a treat. Cami and I were spoiled by our dear friends. I needed the fellowship desperately, as I often get lonely here, and it was good to be with people I know and feel known by. We came home refreshed, which seems to rarely happen when you go on a vacation.
Our dear Lord, has given us so many things to be thankful for and this weekend was truly icing on the cake. I hope your Thanksgiving was a sweet as our's.
Hi Glad you guys had a great time. We did miss you both. Looks like the hike was fabulous. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
