HUBBY was departing for Seattle Friday morning for a ministry trip and I wasn’t planning to accompany him this time…then suddenly while lying in bed one night, I felt the sense that I needed to make an attempt to join him at the last minute – which is tricky with plane fares, managing the kids’ stuff, school schedules…I really didn’t imagine it was gonna happen, but I awoke with the determination to at least give it a try.  I mustered my courage and began the process and with the help of my beloved man Gregory, all the ‘lights turned green’ so to speak, and here I am sitting at the computer in the beautiful Pacific Northwest after a most exhilarating, blessed and satisfying weekend.  That’s me surprising my third-born Jared (one who rules) Christopher (Christ bearer) at his workplace in the middle of the day on Friday – such fun!  That was only the first of several surprises I’ll be sharing from the weekend, so stay tuned for more from Seattle….
