Tradition
What is so wonderful about being around people who know you and love you and accept you. Every year around the end of October, beginning of November my family goes camping with 4 other families. This has been going on for 30 years! It began with my mom and her 4 best friends from college going camping every year to stay in touch. Now we are on to our 3 rd generation of children. The people I was among are so wonderful. We talked about the Lord worshiped together, laughed together, talked about life together, and just had fun in the beauty of Lake Martin. I can't even begin to explain how absolutely beautiful and wonderful it was. I was so excited about the weekend all last week and my expectations were completely fulfilled. I was encouraged in the Lord and got to have fun and laugh with some of the people I cherish the most in my life. The best part about it was that for the first time Bryan got to come with me. We have always had the rule that no friends or significant others could come unless you were engaged, and so finally Bryan got to come. He was welcomed into the group with love and of course our typical pranks =) I'll let you ask him about his initiation =). One day when I learn how to put pictures on this thing I'll put one up of our beautiful weekend! I am just so thankful for friendships and tradition because this weekend of every year is one of my favorite traditions ever!!
