T4G

Together for the Gospel.  One word: WOW!  Ryan and I had been looking forward to coming to this conference for years.  We were supposed to go in 2010, but sweet Mercy Cate came, and we were unable to go.  (Well, I guess I could have gone, but I would have been so pregnant that I probably would have been miserable.  Not to mention I would have to have gone to the bathroom constantly...much more then this time, if that's possible.)  So, we registered early and Shane and Cathy came along with us.  We had so much fun talking, and scouting out new people, such as sally jessie, exercise man, and rainbow warrior.  (haha)  We left early in the morning, and headed up to Louisville, Kentucky.  It is so pretty there, I loved that city, and the atmosphere.  hmmm...does Louisville need a new church, or pastor?  (Unfortunately, I doubt it with the seminary being right there, but one can hope.)  Every session (except maybe one) was awesome!  And, the zero dollar bookstore was fun, too.  Walking from table to table picking up books for free! 17 to be exact!  Fun times!  My next couple of posts will be videos of some of the sessions.  If you want to listen to a good sermon, and have an hour or so in you day, then you will enjoy these men and their messages. (see my next posts)  Here are some pictures from our trip~ 

Give me some chicken

Ryan and Shane

The metal over this bridge reminded me a little of Pittsburgh.

Shane, Cathy, Ryan, and I
(Thank you Shane for your persistance to get my camara on the correct setting with the lighting.)

We had never been to Indiana, but now we have!  We crossed the bridge and headed over during a break.

When it was official that Shane and Cathy were coming with us, Ryan and Shane looked up online where the show Man Vs. Food had visited in Louisville.  (Man Vs Food is a show with eating contests and the best local places to eat in different cities in America.)  They found Mark's Feed Store, a BBQ place.  Oh, my! Oh, my!  I seriously ate the best BBQ with sides I have ever eaten in my life!  If you ever go to Louisville, Mark's Feed Store is a must!

Shane and Cathy on the pigs!

Ryan and I on the pigs!

In case you decide to go, here's the sign to scout out!

And, yes, since I did love Louisville, I had to take a picture of this.  We meet in the YUM center, right on the river.  I will now be cheering for Louisville:)

Thank you Gigi for watching our kiddos!  This trip was impossible without you!
