Vacation in O-hi-o!

Posted in General, vacation with tags , , , on June 27, 2009 by tamodom

So I have been absent from the blogging world since Tuesday because I took a few days of vacation up to Columbus, Ohio to see some friends.

I spent almost 12 hours in the airport on Wednesday between my flights, layovers, and then waiting on Melissa’s flight to arrive. It made for a long day, but it was definitely chill and I read a whole book. Can you believe it? But just for those of you who like to read you should check out ‘Here’s to Hindsight’ by Tara Leigh Cobble. (We are trying to get her to CSU in the FALL and I am stoked!)

So the reunion with Melissa was great! I have not seen or talked to her in almost 10 years. We reunited on the addictive social networking site (aka Facebook) about 2 months ago. She lives out in New Mexico now and was coming to WV to visit her family for two weeks. She invited me to come up and have some fun with them in Columbus. So…after toyin’ with the idea of going I finally bought the ticket and I am so thankful I did! The first night we were there we waited until everyone asleep and then we sat up talking about things ’til 2:30 a.m. It was like we never missed a beat of our friendship though. We went to the Water park on Thursday and then had an amazing trip to Walmart that night (more about that story another day). On Friday, we went to the Zoo

…and then headed back to the airport to come home.

Here are some pictures of us from Thursday and Friday….

On Friday, I got to go to Breakfast with Nicole Bromley, Jude Bromley and Jenna Wilson. This was fun to see Nicole again and I got to meet the little guy. I am hoping she might be able to come back down to SC some time to speak. I got a couple of pictures while I was with them too. They gave me some suggested reads to help me with growing in ministering to women at CSU. So I will be picking up a few must reads…. The Blue Parakete, God is Big, People are Smaller,and Organic Church.

Here is my first time meeting Mr. Jude and the reunion with Jenna and Nicole…
