So...there's been a lot going on here in Arkadelphia. The sad news is that my camera has died. As in, it has taken its last picture. This means no photo updates of what's been going on. The good news, however, is that Tyler and I are going to buy a new camera tomorrow! So there are sure to be pictures soon of these next couple of weeks.
Aside from all of that, things have been so wonderful here! We have had a lot of guests come and stay with us. Tyler's younger brother Ryan celebrated his 21st birthday in September, and his older brother Jeremy was able to come surprise him. Jeremy recently came back from Costa Rica, and we had so much fun spending time with him, showing him around, and hearing all about his trip. It was so nice to catch up with each other, and we can't wait to see pictures!
After Jeremy left, our good friend Jordan came for a visit. We had a wonderful dinner of pork chops, Au gratin potatoes, and salad. The next day, we went to Hot Springs to shop downtown and have lunch. It was so much fun, and to top it all off, we went to the Ouachita football game where we beat #9 ranked team, Delta State! Our guest list doesn't stop there.
The next weekend my parents came to visit. Once again, we had a delicious dinner at home: southern cornbread stuffed whole chicken. It was wonderful, and it was the first whole chicken I had ever cooked! After dinner, we took a walk around campus and then went to the "Frozen Stone" and had ice cream. The next day, Tyler and I took my parents to Hot Springs because my mother had never been there before. We visited the historical Arlington Hotel, stuck our hands in a hot spring, saw Hot Springs from an observation tower, and then ate lunch at Cajun Boilers (best hush puppies EVER!). Stopped off at a couple other places to run some errands and then headed back to Arkadelphia. We had pizza before they left, and watched the play-by-play for the Ouachita game. It was sad to say goodbye to my parents, but we will see them again soon!

You would think we would have had enough traveling, but we decided to go to Little Rock the next day to shop. I needed a black dress for our friend Danielle's wedding, and so we set off to find one. As busy as the weekend was, it was so wonderful! We can't wait for our next guests. Tyler's parents are coming for homecoming weekend on Saturday, and we'll be able to take pictures! So...next post = picture update!
