The Spurgeons meet at last!

In case you can't tell from the video....that wooden thing is a carved statue of Charles Spurgeon....our first son's name sake. Well.....we could hardly contain our little man's excitment at getting to meet this amazing preacher for the first time. As you can tell he is thrilled....We couldn't bear to tell him that he was made of wood.....or maybe it was just the cat nip!

Country Livin'


One of the best parts about moving to Kentucky is that....we have never been here before. There is so much history and sites unseen that it is hard to fit it into the school and work schedule. We have made it a goal to take any friends or family that come to visit us #1-to the home made ice cream and pie kitchen (your just going to have to come visit us to try it!) and #2 to a destination here in KY that we have never been before. We have so far not run out of fun places to go, although there are some that we will not be returning to:) A few weekends ago our friends Jimmy and Carolyn now Anderson (they came a few weeks before they got hitched) came down from OH to hang for the weekend. We hadn't met Jimmy's bride-to-be yet, so we were really exicted to get to spend the weekend with both of them. First we headed to the Rec center on campus to get in a few games of couple's raquet ball...and then off we ventured to Huber's family farm. It is a local farmer's huge farm that he has transformed into a tourist dream. We had a blast trying to hit a floating target with a apple sling shot, eating fresh strawberries, sliding down huge slides made of piping, kissing pigmy goats, eating fudge, feading monstourous coy fish in the ponds, wine tasting, and who could forget the corn cannon.










It was a whole bunch of good ol' country fun, only found in the blue grass state.
