The beautiful sunrise on the ride down.
We have been away on a bit of a holiday! Last Thursday we traveled down to Columbus, Georgia for a conference with the speakers being the Botkin family. The session topics ranged from home life and siblings to economy and courtship (you can see what the schedule looked like here). It was a wonderfully convicting, encouraging, and inspiring weekend filled with meeting many like-minded believers.

On stage (left to right): Noah, Anna Sofia, Elizabeth, Ben, Lucas, David, Mr. & Mrs. Botkin, and Isaac Botkin.
Here are a few photos and notes from the conference.















I am glad you had a blessed and encouraging and challenging time! =:) That was great that you were able to go with your family! Glad you are back, safe and sound.
Blessings!

Oh how fun! I can’t wait for the big post coming!
I know this has nothing to do with this post, but I was reading through your “about me” and saw that you said that “simplyvintagegirl” was not your first choice as a title for the blog. Are you willing to tell us the name you had originally planned? I would love to hear it. Thanks!
It was so good to meet you! I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures!!
Glad you had a good time. We used to live in Columbus when my husband was in the army.
It was such a blessing to meet you and Breezy at the conference! I can’t wait to see the rest of your pictures!
Yours in Christ,

I love the sunrise picture! It was so much fun getting to meet you!!! My brain is still reeling from all of the wonderful information we heard!
I am so glad you are back, and I am so glad that you had a good time!
It will be interesting to read about the conference.
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

Enjoyed coming across your blog for the first time today!
Rather than being a young lady, I am a mother to three little girls and I am pursuing Biblical womanhood. So good to see teenage girls like yourself running after Jesus!
I also am a Hoosier and I homeschool my girls.
I just started reading “So Much More” by the Botkin sisters – so good!!
Blessings to you. Great blog.
Fun fun fun! :D
How fun! I can’t wait to see the other pictures. :)
Cute blog, by the way!

It was so great to meet you and your sister. I felt like I already knew you! :>) That was so fun for us to all be together!
I got a post up on the conference and hope to write more later.
