Hello friends and family,
Jimmy and I got to do something really fun and picturesque on Friday: Go Apple Picking! This is a bucket list item we were able to cross off! We live 5 miles away from Russell Orchards Farms and Winery and decided to take a trip out there during apple season to see what all the fuss was about.
We pulled up to a large, stately barn and pinched ourselves. How beautiful the grounds and buildings were! Not only could you pick your own apples, berries and pumpkins, but they had a wonderful farm store with fresh produce, yummy baked goods, hot apple cider and fruity wines! We also ate a delicious apple cider donut while strolling through the rows of produce and quaint rooms.
Here are a few pictures from the day:
Gorgeous apple orchard. Almost looks like a vineyard!
The simple beauty of an apple tree.
Channeling the I'm-a-New-Englander look with boots, leggings and plaid! Totally not on purpose....right?
Testing out the deliciousness of a freshly picked apple!
"Stand back, Jimmy! You can trust me..."
What to do with two pecks of apples? Bake a pie, of course!
Yes, it did taste as good as it looks.
On Saturday, Jimmy and I got to see a familiar face from home. Trumaine is a dear fellow coworker at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital who was in town for a wedding. We got to see each other for a couple hours, laugh about life, reminisce on fun memories and talk excitedly about the future. Trumaine is the first familiar face I've seen while in Massachusetts, and I was so overjoyed to feel the comfort of a dear friend!
Jimmy and I thank you for keeping us in your thoughts in prayers. On Tuesday, I have a second interview with a private high school on the North Shore for the Development Associate position, and this is a job that would meet our financial needs as well as be something I'd love to do. Please pray the interview would go well, and that if the Lord wants me there, that it would be so! I will keep you all updated!
Much love to you all! Please let us know how we can be praying for you.
But, as it is written,
these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

In Him,
