Tres Anos

I'm not sure if any of you all can believe it because I know I can't....but Garrett and I have been married for THREE YEARS as of yesterday! I really cannot believe how fast time has gone by...however, when I really think about it we have crammed a lot into the past three years, so far we have received a few degrees, lived in 5 houses, and had 6 different jobs between the two of us! Anyway, I could spend hours walking down memory lane...but I won't. However, I should also note that yesterday was also Garrett's dad's b-day....Happy Birthday Len! We celebrated yesterdays events with the Reed's at the Piedmont Club last night...super fun and super yummy!


Our fun summer is coming to an end. We have been so thankful to be able to spend some wonderful time with friends and family over the summer. Most recently we went to Williamsburg for Rachel and Chris's wedding and over the past two weeks we have spent lots of time in the mountains.....I feel like we have been running (not physically running because we don't do that) up there as often as possible. We took a day trip last week to the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiked around Graveyard Fields and this past weekend we went and stayed at the Highland Lake Inn to celebrate our anniversary. I love the Highland Lake Inn because it is like going to the farm....because it really is a farm. We got to feed the goats and watched them get milked...Garrett became fast friends with just about all of the animals. I have some great videos of Garrett making friends with some goats and a turkey....maybe i will figure out how to upload them.


To be honest, I am not at all sad to see the summer end. While it has been fun, I really love the fall and cannot wait for it to be here. In true Reed fashion, we will be cramming a lot in the months to come. September is going to be crazy since Clemson has home games every weekend, however it is really fun super craziness. And... I am headed to Missouri at the end of September for my cousins wedding. Then, in October we will spend 8 days cruising to Honduras, Belize, Mexico, and the Bahamas with some of our favorite friends, Adam and Mandy Brantley. I really can hardly wait for this trip....so fun.


In November Garrett's brother, Cullen, and his wife Amber, who we are very close to, will be returning from South Korea...where they have been for the past year. We cannot wait to see them! Also around that time we should begin our move to Charleston. In summary... we are excited about where the Lord has taken us over the past three years but we are also excited about where He is continuing to lead us....wherever that may be.


In a total side note... our apartment complex gave away free breakfast to all the residents this morning. I didn't make it to get any but Garrett did...he said they were giving away "Frescuits" from Wendys. He described the "Frescuit" as a french toast biscuit...which sounds super nasty to me. Garrett affirmed my thoughts and said it was truly disgusting...and as if the "Frescuit" wasn't gross enough on its own...they added a bottle of water inside the bag with the "Frescuit" to make it a soggy wet "Frescuit"...I think I am thankful for my piece of toast. Enjoy some pics from the past few weeks.....
