Weekend with the Meadows

This weekend was a lot of fun, and it was great to see Mr. Steve and Mrs. Theo! They arrived at around 3:30 Friday afternoon, so when I pulled up, I found them sitting just where Steven thought they would be---in the swing. We talked and caught up a little before getting ready to go out to dinner. We took them to Persimmon's, which is a restaurant located right on the water in downtown New Bern. It is practically a brand new building, so everything about it is super modern. I love going to Persimmon's because the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in New Bern.

On Saturday, we woke up, ate breakfast, and made our way to the fall festival, which was hosted by both Asbury and Bethany (our church and another church in the community). It was awesome and completely free to the public. There were bounce houses, games, and tons of food. It was so great to be able to introduce Mr. Steve and Mrs. Theo to all the poeple that have meant so much to us since moving to North Carolina. Later, we toured the farmer's market and walked around all the shops downtown before eating lunch at Cow Cafe (our favorite little sandwich & ice cream shop). After lunch, we came back home to rest before the Auburn game. Steven took his parents on a tour of the farm, while I got the food ready for dinner. Later, we watched the game and ate dinner with Bryan, Bridget, Emily, Brandon, and Mr. Ray. It was a great game and even better company.

On Sunday, we all got ready and went to church, which was really a blessing. Afterwards, we ate taco soup and club sandwiches for lunch. Then, while Steven took his dad on another tour of the farm, Mrs. Theo and I went to TJ Max to do a little shopping (it's been a long time!). I got a new down comforter for one of the beds and a little something for my sisters' upcoming birthday. Later that night, we all went out to Famous for what I think is the best food in New Bern. I have never had anything there that wasn't DELICIOUS!

Although the weekend went by fast, it was great to get to spend some time with them, and hey---Thanksgiving's not to far away :)
