Tomorrow will start a week away from my best-friend. R.Jay and I don't spend very much time apart (besides his mandatory work schedule) so instead of sitting home with extra time on my hands and a lonely spirit, I'm headed out on my mini-vacation.Tomorrow at 4:00am R.Jay will leave our house to drive the long trip to West Virginia for a week of mine rescue training at a great training center with hands on simulation classes. He'll have all sorts of fun with adrenaline pumping in daring rescues and I'll have all sorts of peace knowing it's not real and my husband is safe.
Tomorrow I'll drive to Syracuse to spend the day and night with my sister. Seeing new renovations on their adorable apartment and a big trip to Christmas Tree Shops will be some of the events to fill our day.
Tuesday morning I'll hop in my little car again and head to Rochester for four days to spoil little Neville girls and squeeze a new baby boy Levendusky while reveling in how grown-up his big sisters are becoming. Perhaps I'll even get to glean from some amazing women of God again! How much I've missed their insight, their hearts, and their encouragement! Talking with my husband I've realized how much different this meeting will my old friends will be. Four years ago I was an 18 year-old girl gleaning from women with painful experiences turned into glory for their Father. Today I'm a 22 year-old woman ready to pour out my own painful experiences to two women who know all too well my heartache and my dependency on my Father. It should be just great. Not to mention trips to Target and a mall that practically laughs at our excuse for a shopping mall.
So you won't find posts for awhile, but you can be sure I'll be turning a whole lot of missing my husband into a whole lot of fun with old friends and cute kids!

I'm not sure when you get home, but I've no doubt your return will bring great joy at being with your best-est friend, plus a little extra something deposited by some really great ladies. I look forward to hearing what He has been speaking to you! Aren't you glad He cares about and knows us so intimately?!

Are you back?
So we have to reschedule dinner, you know. I still want to try that spinach and pasta dish.
WE're busy all day Sunday, so maybe we can catch up Monday? Call me or sign on, I'll be around. :)
