Blissful weekend with amazing friends...

This past weekend some of our very best friends came to spend a few days with us!  We try to get together with Taylor and Meagan a couple times a year.  Once we go to their home, and then they come here in the fall for a Razorback football game.  This year, very last minute, we decided we could not wait any longer to see them so they booked a flight here from Virginia.  Boy did we have a blast!

The weekend was cut a little short because Tay and Meg had the "privilege" of staying the night in the DFW airport due to weather.  We picked them up a day late but that did not slow us down!  We began the weekend eating  lunch, and then we headed to the Lake.  If you have not been to Echo Canyon at lake Quachita you need to book yo-self a trip.  It is so relaxing.  The Restaurant is fabulous and has a super view.
We stayed at the house boat which is so relaxing.  We lounged on rafts, skiied, tubed, road the jet ski's, we laughed a lot, talked, got caught up and just had a blast.  It was so much fun.

We got up Sat morning and headed to breakfast with another friend!  We ate and shopped for a little bit.  Then we headed to our little "honey hole" (at the cemetery) and picked blackberries. It was so fun.  Matt and I have been picking blackberries every other day (we have had a ball checking on the berries) and we knew there would be lots to pick that day.   It was so fun to have them to help us!  I will never pick blackberries again without thinking about you guys!:)

Saturday afternoon was LAZY.   Meagan and I did a little couponing (scored some serious deals) at WAGS while the guys napped with the girls.  We got home and started whipping up all the fixins (yes I said "fixins") for the fish fry.  It.was. SO.GOOD!!

We got up Sunday and headed up the Hill to take them to the airport.  We hit up a pizza joint and the promenade and made our way to XNA.  It's always sad to see them leave again, but we are so thankful for a friendship that is so close that we pick up right where we left off!  Blessed to call them friends!

We are already looking forward to November when we will see them again!  This time we will travel to them!!:)

Love you guys and thanks for a wonderful weekend!!
