We arrived safely home from our trip to MN and life has been going non-stop since then. We had the privilege of spending a day with our good friends, the Drevlows, while they were on their way out to the “land of sunshine”. It was fabulous to see them once again before they moved to CA, pursuing a worship pastor position. We pray that God will use them as they step out in His leading. Also, that He will bring us back together someday! I said goodbye to the Drevlows and Chris the same day. He traveled to SD for the annual SALT conference for Chi Alpha.

And sorry it’s taken us so long to say hello! We had a wonderfully relaxing time visiting family and good friends in MN. It was such a refreshing time to be in the beautiful “land of 10,000 lakes”. I forget how beautiful MN is when I’m away from it. Especially the North Shore. Why did we ever move?! Unfortunately we didn’t see as many people as we would have liked to or get as much done as we would have like to, but it was some needed time to just slow down and remember to enjoy life. I think sometimes I truly forget to breathe when I’m not consciously aware of it. Having the extra help around with the girls and nothing “to do” around the house I was able to expand my lungs and take in the oxygen I’ve been depriving myself of. It was also a huge blessing to be able to take a couple of days and get away, just the two of us. I’ll post on that later. We did enjoy spending lots of time with our families.
