And Life Goes On...

So...Friday was my birthday -and thanks to all the people that made it great :) Saturday morning Andy and I got up (after very little sleep) and drove to Belmont to get together with the Miller family. It was great fun. We got to see Carey and Chris...and we got to hide and search for our Easter baskets. We drove home late Saturday night and crashed in our bed. Sunday morning we got up a little earlier than normal to go to the sunrise service at church, which was interesting. Sunday morning services went well, and Andy and I had the rest of the day. The Terry family called that afternoon and asked if we wanted to come over to their house. We readily agreed. We ate supper with them and the girls had made me birthday brownies...sooo good, and incredibly kind of them. We played several games and laughed a lot. Since then we've been going to work and just having fun being great friends...I love my husband!!!

In Lieu of Bolivia

So, I quickly found out why God had been trying to assure me that "obstacles are opportunities" and that He is (in fact) in control of everything. More than that, He has time to remember me by preparing me. As I'm sure you know, the trip to Bolivia was canceled before we ever left, but not before our bags were packed and our car was cleaned. So, in lieu of Bolivia we headed south to Florence, Alabama where I lived for almost 8 years (1989-1997) and then continued around the southeastern part of the US. We drove through 8 states and Washington D.C. It was a lot of fun to just stop when we saw something interesting or sleep in whatever state or city we wanted to...and it was just fun being together. Andy drove the entire 3,000 miles and I faithfully navigated him along the way (although, not always the right way). This weekend we're anticipating some more quality time together in the car as we head to Belmont to see the family...I can't wait!
