The Reality Is!

We traveled to Portland this last weekend.  Me to work and Chuck to visit some friends he hasn't seen for quite a while.  We realized this would be our last weekend to travel without children.  We tried to imagine what it would be like to pack a 3 & 6 year old into a car for an 8 hour trip.  The funny part is we have "no clue".  The really laughable part is we are thoroughly looking forward to it.  We saw a little girl with no front teeth and realized again we will have that same chapter in our lives times 2.  We both instantly thought of the Christmas song all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth and wondered if we could sing it in Amharic?  The dentist appts. the ER visits, the soccer games, the school meetings all of the things we should have done when we were in our 20's & 30's.  We were chosen to do these in our 50's, albeit early 50's. Our God does have a sense of humor!.  We know our God has chosen us for this very special time.  We are his warriors and this is a new journey which we look especially forward to with great humor and Love.
