An Exciting Weekend

This past weekend, aside from me becoming an incubus of viral plague (my allergies are flaring up!), we had so many fun things happen!!

First, we had "date night IN"! We picked up two pizza dough balls from Sals, a local authentic Italian restaurant and made our own personal pizzas!! We had such a great time!!




Always a goof--but so proud of his pizza!


Of course, Cody said, mine had to be healthy!
*Spinach, Roma Tomatoes, Fresh Mushrooms & Basil!!



Cody gives his two ENTHUSIASTIC thumbs up!

I was pretty excited for mine, too!

Second, We bought a NEW couch!! Saturday afternoon, we were eating pizza leftovers and cleaning up for our #3 excitement when we just up and decided to go take a look!! We perused some websites of local stores and found Schewel's (they even had a $50 coupon on their website!!) We love it! I'm so glad we waited and got one that's amazing quality and all the specifications we were looking for :)



Third, We had VISITOR'S!! Josh Saefkow (Cody's best friend) and his girlfriend Kelsie Culpepper (such a cute name) came down from Liberty in Lynchburg to stay Sunday night and Monday with us! This was the second time we hung out with them, but the first I wasn't feeling too well (funny how I was sick this time, too!) I digress, but we had a great time and it was so nice to just sit and chat with them!

One Year!!

Oh my goodness!! I can't believe it's already been one year! Honestly, I feel like we just got married a few weeks ago!!

This time last year, we were enjoying gorgeous Cabo san Lucas, Mexico!! Cody and I were just talking about how we think we need to make that an annual trip! :)

What a year it has been--it's been so fun/funny and has been such a year of growth, love, patience, compromise and learning...and much more laughter! Thanks everyone for ALL the prayers and love!! (...and for visiting us!!) We can't wait for another year and all the many more God may bless us with!!








We love you all so much,

The Davenport's

Memorial Day

This Memorial Day, Cody and I headed down to Boone to meet my parents and his parents for a long weekend vacation at my parents house in NC! Unfortunately, Cody couldn't come until after church on Sunday, so I spent some time with just the parents!

First night there we went into Banner Elk for dinner

The next day, the parents went on a boat trip with some other couples....i stayed home and just RELAXED!!



Sunday morning, Dad and Mark went on an early morning bike ride....

...while the girls hung out on the deck and just enjoyed the scenery!

We, of course, made a stop at the Mast General Store candy shop in Blowing Rock--everyone got their favorite candies from "yesteryear"...haha. Mark with our bag o' candy!

A little less than a month early, but i think we'll make it until June 21st!

he wasn't happy!!!

So, he got me back about 20 mins later when i wasn't paying attention!

We had a fun trip--can't wait until next time!!
