St. John's Chapel By The Creek

I had the BEST DAY today!

Holly had the day off from nursing school, so we took Joshua to his Therapeutic Recreation (TR). It was the last day of this program for the summer.

And then Holly and I headed to meet up with Morgan. She was having her bridal pictures taken today, and she invited Holly and I to come along.

IT.WAS.SO.FUN.

Her sister was there to help her, and her Mom took off 2 hours from her job to come. After the tornadoes, storms, rain and flooding we've had for the past couple of weeks, today was GORGEOUS. I mean.

She was having her pictures done at this little chapel called St. John's Chapel By The Creek, and it was just like the name said. It was a little chapel by a little creek. It was so pretty!

The chapel itself is rock on the outside. The inside is painted a gold color. There were big, clear windows all down each side, and a big, clear window right at the back. There were 3 large chandeliers hanging over-head. The floors and the pews were wooden.

It was every bit of precious and beautiful and serene.

And...holy.

It's weird how a building can make you feel that way.

Or maybe that's just me.

We had a fun morning being a part of Morgan's special day. She was so sweet to include us.

After we left there, Holly and I headed to get a quick lunch because we had worked up quite the appetite strolling around the grounds of the chapel and we were STARVING. Haha!

I called my friend, Amy, and told her we were at the McAlister's close to her house. She came up and visited with us for a few minutes. It was great to see her. We also saw a few other people in there that we knew. That's so nice...because we rarely see anyone we know here in our new town. Even tho we've been here nearly 2 years. I miss that feeling.

And we left there and did some quick shopping for Aaron...his birthday is on Saturday. We picked up Joshua and headed home. Logan was here, and then Clark got home from school, and then Holly came over, and then Jim came home...and then Aaron came straight here after work...and we were all here and I was SO HAPPY!

Jim took us all out to eat at Outback. Or, as my mother-in-law calls it, "THE Outback."

IT WAS SUCH A FUN DAY!
