Where I have been . . .

February 10, 2009

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 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!

    Glad you had a good time. We used to live in Columbus when my husband was in the army.

    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.
