Playing Catch.up

Ok, so we have been so incredibly busy lately, it's crazy!!

But, we did have some amazing times during the past few weeks! Though I wrote a little snippet of a blog for our anniversary, I didn't get to expound much! The weekend of our anniversary we went up to Maine for my dear friend Danielle McCarthy's wedding! Dani was in my wedding, 364 days earlier and I was honored to be her bridesmaid :)

Since it was over our anniversary weekend, we decided to make a long weekend of it!! Ohh and I forgot to mention that Cody used to live in Maine when he was little and his dad was a pastor at a church up there, too!

Landing in Portland, Maine (Cody felt right back at home)


After getting off the plane, getting our rental car and luggage--we headed straight for LOBSTER!!

We had a great dinner at the Portland Lobster Company!


It came with instructions...in case Cody's instructions got confusing :)


Left: The name of church Cody's dad was senior pastor when he was little
Right: The actual church they used to have--it's another church now


Cute little gift shop and we met a random visitor...


Random story: Cody and I were shopping in this little store and having generic conversation with this lady. She asks if we're visiting (who else shops in these little stores?!?!), I said we were up for my best friends wedding and were visiting Waldoboro (the little town Cody grew up in) because my husband used to live here. She asked Cody's last night, he said Davenport. She's like, that sounds familiar--he said my dad used to be a pastor here about 20 years ago, Mark Davenport. She gasped and was like...you're CODY!?! She had gone to the church when Mark was the pastor and worked in the nursery with Robin, Cody's mom...she babysat Travis and Cody AND REMEMBERED THEM!!!! It was so sweet and crazy!!

Pemaquid Point--one of Cody's favorite spots when he lived there.

getting some forced family fun in.

Needless to say, it was rainy!!

This was the Davenport's parsonage when Mark was the pastor. This is the house where Cody accepted Jesus as his Savior. So cool to see that!


Later that night we had the Rehearsal and Dinner!! All the bridesmaids:
L-R: Abby Alexander, Kristi Rabenhorst, Chelsea Rae, Jackie Parks (cutest pregnant lady ever!), ME, Lil (Langston's sister), Sarah Radcliff and Kryssi (Dani's friend from Maine).
