There Ain't No Place Like Birmingham

This weekend was fabulous.

Jana and I dined at Do Di Yo's on Saturday night. Holy Smokes. SO GOOD. I miss Birmingham's Greek food when I'm in Auburn. The whole restaurant was an experience and I'm so sad we had to eat so fast and couldn't fully enjoy it.

"There are two kinds of people: those who are Greek and those who wish they were Greek." Mr. Portokalos, My Big Fat Greek Wedding

So true.

We ordered fried doughnuts for dessert. Soaked in honey. Best I've ever had. Ever. And I've tried a lot, so that's saying something. I think I scared our waiter when we ordered these. I wouldn't let him get through the rest of the dessert menu. I just wanted these.

Step Sing at Samford! I think I've been almost every year since I was in middle school. This is pretty much the only evening I begin to second guess my decision to go to Auburn. It was probably one of the better shows they've had... right up there with DAP's Monster performance. Dudes-A-Plenty, get at me.

Visited this sweet little squirt while Caroline and I caught up with Momma Ashley. I'm looking forward to hanging out together this summer!

Hope all of your weekends were lovely, lovely, lovely!

It's finding little gems like this that make me love small town life.

Colossians 2:2

Meet some of my bible study girls. They are more of a blessing than I could have ever imagined. Our fearless leader Jenna so graciously opens her home to us and has made us all her baby chicks, which is funny since she does have actual chickens in her backyard. Even though we are just beginning our second semester as a group together, I cannot even fathom what my year would look like without all of these women! Jumping into the Word with them has been so encouraging and challenging and I am so incredibly excited to work through the book of James with them. We never have a dull moment in bible study and their humor refreshes my spirit constantly! Imagining the love we have for each other is just an iota of the Father's love for us just blows my mind!
