Priceless

The three of us at the banquet dinner

Delores and I using my new throw as a creative hot pad for HOT chicken veggie soup

I'm not sure how those three weeks flew by so fast without me posting, but they were sure packed with GOOD STUFF! It was awesome to have Mom and Delores here for one whole week and I loved having time to just hang out with them. The meetings over the weekend were just amazing and I am so encouraged to give everything I have to live the life that I've been called to. The care that God has for us is so amazing, actually. He keeps working and working with us so we become more and more free, and more and more happy! Thanks for all the cards and drawings, Megan, Derek and Olivia. I love them!! I put your drawings up on my wall and hung the pictures of you guys, too. Jenn, the movies you sent were tucked inside the Readers Digest, which I discovered yesterday! THANKS!! More good stuff included dill pickles, microwave popcorn, onion-blossom flavored PRINGLES, Kraft mac n cheese, a new throw, lamp, aged cheddar cheese and the list goes on. Thank you!! We spent our last two days in Drammen with Fredrik and Emma and David and Lene. It was super nice to visit again and especially nice to see David and Lene's new house! I'm already looking forward to NEXT TIME!! Today: The weather has been amazing for the past week and rivulets of water are running everywhere. It's a most welcome sound!! Today I grabbed a banana from the fridge and just stood on the balcony in the sun during the half hour lunch break. It was so nice to feel the sun on your face again! We're leaving for our A-lag trip to Pagedal in Holland on Thursday (7:00 a.m.), and have been busy getting ready for that. We are not responsible for any of the food while we're there (YES!!!) but we are making baguettes to take along on the buses for breakfast and lunch (920 to be exact) and cookies and fruit for everyone. We will stay in Copenhagen Thursday evening and then travel on to Holland the next day. We took the same trip 2 years ago but I'm sure it will be interesting just the same. Well, I'm off to hang up the laundry and try to get to bed before midnight! Cheerio!
