We've arrived...

Lake City is amazing!!!!! We left Salado at 7:45 Friday night and arrived in Lake City at 11am Saturday morning. We actually pulled in right as Seth and Crystal were running a 10K so we passed them on the road! We decided to wait for them at the finish line, and then afterward we all went to lunch before Royce and I headed out to the Inn. David and Rosie (the owners of the Inn) let us take a nice long nap to catch up on our complete lack of sleep from driving through the night (we both got about 3 hours each). Then that evening they took us to eat and invited Seth and Crystal along. We were glad we were able to spend some good time with them because they left early Sunday morning for a mission trip and won't be back until this Saturday night.


We had our first 3 couples arrive at the Inn Sunday evening. It's been a great trial run for us because we'll be completely full in two weeks (10 rooms/30ish people)! Most of our days will look something like this... breakfast, devotions with the guests, clean up, clean any of the dirty rooms, water plants, sweep the porch, mop the floors if needed, etc.... and we should typically have most afternoons and evenings off. The town offers a lot of activities during the summer... on Monday nights they do $5 dancing lessons! Last night they taught us East Coast Swing! It was so much fun and Royce caught on really quickly. ;) They also have Bingo every Wednesday night in town and David is the caller! We're looking forward to that experience as well.

A few pics from the last few days...
Family photo with Sammy before we left Salado.

Don't be jealous, but this is our view from the front porch at the Inn.


Hanging out at the park in town yesterday afternoon. It was a high of 60 degrees. Perfect.

Come visit us if you can!
