Back in the summer of 2002, Chris and I moved to a little ole city...Lexington, KY, where we knew ABSOLUTELY no one! But I have to say it was the best thing that we could have done being newly married! I loved our time in Lexington, and say all the time I would move back there in a heartbeat.
Well, during our time there we started visiting Immanuel Baptist Church, where we started going to this amazing Young Marrieds class taught by a guy named Jim Allen. It was there that we made some of the best friends that we could have asked for. Matt & Sunday Towles were that GO TO couple for us. We literally played cards (Phase 10), ate brownies and ice cream almost every night of every weekend. We had the best time ever with them. And right before we moved to Memphis they had my sweet little boyfriend Jonah!
We try at least once a year to see them, and have done this since we moved away in 2004. They now live in Virginia, and Matt works at Liberty! Well, this year was their year to visit us! So, even with a 90% packed house we had the best time with them. We did all kinds of things, but the best part was just hanging out at night playing cards and just catching up. We sure do LOVE the Towles, and can't wait until next summer when we get to see them again!
How grateful we are that God took us to the beautiful Lexington, KY all those years ago!
We had a date night on their last night in town...something we have grown to love doing with them...
One day the boys went one direction and the girls went another, and had the best time!
One thing that we haven't done with them was take them to a Naturals game...it was such an awesome night for a game. And let's face it, it brought back all the memories of going to the Lexington Legends games back in the day!
And of course we had many nights of just swimming and hanging out at Nana Flynts...I tell you all of our families love the Towles just as much as we do!
