Labor Day weekend in Illinois

Alright- I know- I'm backtracking. But I just uploaded pics from Labor Day weekend when we went home to visit and there were so many great pics I just had to post them.

The Gardner Family on our way to Illinois.

Cody and I with Jared, Jon, Josh, and Jessi Wharton and the newest Wharton, Michelle at Josh and Michelle's wedding reception! What a joy to be with all 4 Wharton kids at the same time- it had been ages!

At another wedding the same day, I got to see Nichole and Amanda- two of my closest friends from childhood/high school.

I had the privilege to read Scripture to my Grandma Vi ( on left) and her roommate, Neva.


Cody preached two times at our home church. Praise Him for the opportunity!

Mom, Dad, and I in a golf cart at Duquion state fair. Dad worked at the fair all week and we took him dinner one night.
