Jacky + Cayte: 4th of July Weekend

I needed this weekend... desperately. It was spent with several close friends and family. We started the weekend at Mom and Big Jacky's house. It is always a breath of fresh air to be in that house and playing with the niece and nephew-- Well sometimes. :) We stayed Saturday and Sunday night at Ashley and Cale's house with lots of quality time-- which never happens. Sunday, I enjoyed driving around Hendersonville reliving many memories that were created in the past-- while talking Jacky's head off telling him ALL about them. Bless his heart. We also got to spend time with Catherine and Blake. We all know that Catherine is my best friend in the world and now there is never enough time spent with her. This is the first time we have lived in different places, but now when we get to see each other no time is wasted. Our mouths never stop talking. :) That night we cooked out with them and then went to see fireworks.. afterwards having ice cream with the Rices (2nd night in a row) and the Garners.

Nothing beats Monday.

We met up with Tripp, Laura and baby David downtown at Monell's. Such a sweet time with such sweet company. After lunch Jacky and I gave baby David his birthday gifts. The tonka truck is not age appropriate, but believe it or not I think he loved it! We also gave him this little workbench thing that lights up and plays music. Didn't get to try that out considering it didn't come with all the things it was supposed to. Hopefully he is enjoying it anyway. :)

I can never spend enough time with them and I feel sorry for Jacky every time it is time to leave because...I dread the goodbye. Make fun of me, but I cry every stinkin' time!

We said our goodbyes to Hendersonville and headed to Carthage. We ended our weekend with a cookout with the fam. Needless to say.. could the weekend get any better?! I believe not. Thanks to all that we got to spend a wonderful time with!

Here are a few highlights of the weekend.. or at least some of the wonderful faces from it! :)
