Moss Rock!

Since I'm so far behind I decided to do another post to get everyone caught up on what's been going on lately. First off, please pray for my Grandpa York as he had surgery on Wednesday and is still recovering. He was hoping to be out of the hospital by Friday and home on Saturday, but complications have kept him in the hospital. He is doing well, but just keep him in your prayers.
Second, my good friend Laura came for a visit about two weeks ago and we had so much fun. It's really nice to have a friend nice enough to drive six hours just to see me for the weekend!! I miss you Laura :) Anyway, Laura brought her puppy, Pogo, with her and that was so much fun. We weren't sure what to expect between Sincola and Pogo, but they just sniffed each other and seemed to be fine. I think Sincola might have swatted once, but only because he scared her. Laura came on Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon we met some friends at a city park called Moss Rock. While we were waiting for everyone to meet up, we decided to go to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts to make it easier for everyone to meet up. Some people (including our car) had troubles figuring out where to go to get to Moss Rock. So obviously, meeting at Krispy Kreme means eating Krispy Kreme and boy was it good. You can see the whole crew out front in the picture to the left. Of course, after eating a half dozen doughnuts, we had to work them off (we saved the rest for later!). They have a bunch of trails for hiking and a little creek and waterfall. It made me miss the beautiful Black Hills, but was fun.Pogo had lots of fun out and about. He was even able to get off the leash for a while! We got to the highest point, found out there were houses up there and decided to turn around. It was a beautiful view. At the bottom, they have two round-a-bouts which are pretty cool and all these cool houses and a big open green. The pine cones there were HUGE! We will definitely visit there again soon when the weather is good. So the next morning, Laura got to experience our new church. We're really excited about it and I was happy that Laura liked it too. We have a lot of fun there and have learned a lot in the little bit of time we have been attending there. After church we decided to go to Cici's Pizza since neither Jeff nor Laura had been there before. Mmm it was good and what made it even better was that I had a coupon for buy one adult buffet get one free. Me, the coupon lady, haha. Told you I was having fun with this. So Jeff and I both ate a buffet for $3.99+tax. Isn't that a great deal? lol. Afterward, we wandered about Books-a-Million for a while just looking at tons of books. Bookstores are such fun. After we got back to the apartment, Laura and I decided to walk off that pizza buffet we had eaten so I took her on a long tour of our neighborhood. I think Pogo really liked tagging along on this one too, especially since he got to play in the park afterward. That night Laura made us some delicious Danish potatoes? I think that's what they were. And she was off to Savannah early the next morning :( I miss her, but we'll meet again soon I'm sure. Jeffery and I have been trying to find a good weekend to go see Savannah, but it hasn't worked out so far. Maybe in the near future when it warms up a bit, we'll visit and be able to go in the ocean!
